‎FILOSOFIA RELIGIONE E PENSIERO EBRAICO DIBATTITO E PROSPETTIVE DAL NORDAMERICA‎

‎GUIDA 2004 197 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PERFETTO E INTONSO, PARI AL NUOVO. L’intento di questo studio è quello di provare a pensare, attraverso la ’’novità’’ introdotta sullo scenario filosofico contemporaneo dalla ’’filosofia della religione ebraica’’, la dissoluzione dell’ontologia racchiusa nella formulazione levinasiana dell’’altrimenti dall’essere’’. Il volume, partendo dalle diverse articolazioni del pensiero ebraico così come si è sviluppato e rimodulato in terra d’America, si concentra in un serrato confronto con la filosofia della religione di Hegel. Questi, infatti, sancendo tra religione e filosofia un rapporto di inclusione della prima nella seconda, ha ’’inaugurato’’ un modo di filosofare in cui non c’è più spazio per il senso e, quindi, per l’etica, aprendo così la strada ad alcune declinazioni novecentesche fondate sul primato dell’’essere in generale’’ quale trionfo del Neutro. Viceversa, la ’’novità’’ rappresentata dalla ’’filosofia della religione ebraica’’ - riapertura dello spazio della Trascendenza, recupero integrale della singolarità quale tensione all’etico - consente, in alcuni dei suoi maggiori rappresentanti (Heschel, Soloveitchick, Fackenheim), non solo la ’’rottura’’ definitiva con la filosofia hegeliana e la dissoluzione, quindi, di quell’’’impersonale’’, che, seguendo le imprese ’’antiumane’’ del XX secolo, ha decretato la crisi irreversibile dell’Umanesimo occidentale, ma anche la possibilità di un ’’nuovo inizio’’ per la stessa filosofia. Gianluca Giannini (Napoli, 1973) svolge attività di ricerca presso il Dipartimento di Filosofia ’’A. Aliotta’’ dell’Università di Napoli ’’Federico II’. Tra i suoi scritti si possono qui ricordare: ’Abraham Joshua Heschel: l’identità ebraica di fronte alla sfida della Sho’ah’ (1998); ’Pietro Piovani a vent’anni dalla morte’ (2000); ’Etica e religione in Abraham Joshua Heschel. Lineamenti di una filosofia dell’ebraismo’ (2001); la cura e la traduzione di M. Hess, ’Roma e Gerusalemme. L’ultima questione nazionale’ (2002); ’Lèvinas e la cultura del XX secolo’, a cura di P.

‎LE GRANDI RELIGIONI DEL MONDO EBRAISMO IL TALMUD‎

‎Enrico Dal Lago‎

‎Lincoln‎

‎Da sempre considerato il più grande presidente della storia degli Stati Uniti e mitizzato come ‘emancipatore’ degli schiavi, Lincoln è una figura storica affascinante, ma spesso sfuggente, dal carattere inquieto e tormentato, che si può capire pienamente solo inserendolo nel suo contesto storico. Nato e cresciuto agli inizi dell’Ottocento in una famiglia povera di pionieri, Lincoln sembrò incarnare il mito americano del self-made man, riuscendo a diventare un avvocato di grido nell’Illinois in un momento in cui la nazione statunitense diventava sempre più ricca e potente ed allo stesso tempo sempre più lacerata dai contrasti scaturiti dall’industrializzazione incipiente nel Nord e dall’espansione della schiavitù nel Sud. Successivamente, Lincoln scalò i gradini del potere politico fino a diventare Presidente, mentre la grande lotta tra la libertà e la schiavitù divenne il punto centrale della vita politica, sociale ed economica degli Stati Uniti e provocò infine la Guerra Civile (1861-1865), che costituì il momento centrale del processo di formazione della nazione statunitense. A questo processo, Lincoln diede un contributo fondamentale e indelebile, riunificando il paese al prezzo di centinaia di migliaia di morti e mantenendo in vita gli ideali della repubblica democratica americana, creando, quindi, le basi della futura egemonia statunitense nel mondo contemporaneo. Non solo, con la sua legislazione a favore dell’emancipazione, Lincoln diede un contributo decisivo anche alla creazione di un mondo nel quale la libertà è ora riconosciuta come un diritto fondamentale e la schiavitù è considerata illegale. Autori: Enrico Dal Lago.‎

‎McPherson James M.‎

‎Lincoln. Storia dell'uomo che liberò gli Stati Uniti‎

‎br. In una biografia rigorosa lo storico James McPherson racconta la gloriosa avventura umana di Abraham Lincoln, il sedicesimo presidente americano che con la sua guida seppe porre le basi per il formidabile sviluppo degli Stati Uniti contemporanei. Sullo sfondo di una Federazione ancora in costruzione, il libro ripercorre gli eventi fondamentali della vita di Lincoln: la sua affermazione professionale come avvocato, la risolutezza come comandante in capo durante la Guerra civile americana, l'abilità con cui riuscì a destreggiarsi tra separatisti e unionisti per mantenere l'equilibrio della nazione, la determinazione che lo portò a vincere la battaglia per l'abolizione della schiavitù. Nella narrazione di McPherson, episodi celebri come il Proclama di emancipazione si intrecciano con dettagli inediti sulla suggestiva personalità di Lincoln, per restituire vivida e reale la grandezza di un leader che ha contribuito a trasformare gli Stati Uniti nella potenza mondiale di oggi.‎

‎McPherson James M.‎

‎La guerra di Lincoln‎

‎ill., br. Durante la guerra civile, Lincoln dovette affrontare problemi assai complessi. Commise, immancabilmente, degli errori ma da essi seppe imparare. E svolse al meglio le funzioni militari e politiche del comandante in capo: dominò il dibattito politico a Washington, definì una strategia di guerra per la nazione, contribuì alla scelta delle tattiche militari da applicare. Anche l'abolizione della schiavitù divenne un passaggio della strategia militare e politica di Lincoln. Il presidente si dimostrò anche in grado di far fronte alla trasformazione del conflitto: dal tradizionale bellicismo caratterizzato da obiettivi e mezzi limitati alla prima guerra totale della storia, che distrusse la vecchia Unione e ne costruì una nuova e migliore sulle sue ceneri.‎
