From the publisher: "This book brings together papers from a conference that took place in the city of L'Aquila 4–6 April 2019 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the earthquake that struck on 6 April 2009. Philosophers and scientists from diverse fields of research debated the problem that on 6 April 1922 divided Einstein and Bergson: the nature of time. For Einstein scientific time is the only time that matters and the only time we can rely on. Bergson however believes that scientific time is derived by abstraction even in the sense of extraction from a more fundamental time. The plurality of times envisaged by the theory of Relativity does not for him contradict the philosophical intuition of the existence of a single time. But how do things stand today What can we say about the relationship between the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of time in the light of contemporary science What do quantum mechanics biology and neuroscience teach us about the nature of time The essays collected here take up the question that pitted Einstein against Bergson science against philosophy in an attempt to reverse the outcome of their monologue in two voices with a multilogue in several voices.

1781In-8°, XXXII, 176pp, 24 tavole, legatura in pelle piena, con nervi e titolo al dorso in oro, buone condizioni. Si tratta del primo volume e l’unico pubblicato. Sacerdote, studiò nel Collegio dei Gesuiti; naturalista e botanico ma anche astronomo e metereologo, raccolse un ricco museo di Storia naturale in cui confluì anche quello di P. Tommaso Maria Gabrini; direttore della Specola Vaticana dal 1800 fino alla morte, anni durante i quali fece osservazioni metereologiche due volte al giorno, seguì anche i lavori per il rifacimento della torre Gregoriana e si occupò di proteggere con un sistema di parafulmini la Basilica Vaticana. Insieme a G. Xuarez creò l'Orto Botanico Vaticano-Indico, pubblicando le Osservazioni Fitologiche (1789-92) che gli meritarono la stima dei botanici H.Ruiz e J.Pavon i quali diedero ad un genere della Famiglia delle Polemoniacee, piante tipiche degli habitat desertici dell'America, il suo nome (cfr. Descripciones y láminas de los nuevos géneros de plantas de la flora del Perú y Chile por Don Hipólito Ruiz y Don Joseph Pavon,.... Madrid 1794, Gilia p.25). Fu socio di diverse accademie: gli Apatisti di Firenze, i Georgofili di Treja, Corneto e Foligno, i Volsci di Velletri, i Soci agrarii di Torino, gli Accademici Italiani, Arcadi, Aborigeni, i Lincei di Roma; lasciò diversi manoscritti che si conservano in Vaticana, fra i quali un' opera sui parafulmini e una vita di Nicola Zabaglia, mastro pontiere alla Fabbrica di S.Pietro. Nella cappella del S.Crocifisso all'Aracoeli dove riposa, lo ricorda un'epigrafe dettata dall'amico Abate Francesco Cancellieri: cfr. Efemeridi Letterarie di Roma vol.4, 1821 p. 281; F.Cancellieri, Gilii Filippo Luigi in E. de Tipaldo, Biografia degli Italiani illustri nelle scienze, lettere ed arti ..., Venezia 1838, Vol.6, pp.362-4; G.Lais, Memorie e scritti di Mons. Filippo Luigi Gilii in Memorie della Pont. Acc. dei Nuovi Lincei 6, 1890, pp.49-62 In-8 °, XXXII, 176pp, 24 plates, full leather binding, with bands and golden title at the spine, good condition. This is the first and only published volume. Priest, he studied in the Jesuit College; naturalist and botanist but also astronomer and meteorologist, he collected a rich museum of natural history which also brought together that of P. Tommaso Maria Gabrini; director of the Vatican Observatory from 1800 until his death, years during which he made weather observations twice a day, he also followed the works for the reconstruction of the Gregorian tower and took care of protecting the Vatican Basilica with a system of lightning rods. Together with G. Xuarez he created the Vatican-Indico Botanical Garden, publishing the Phytological Observations (1789-92) which earned him the esteem of the botanists H. Ruiz and J. Pavon who gave a genus of the Polemoniacee family, typical plants of America's desert habitats, its name (see Descripciones y láminas de los nuevos géneros de plantas de la flora del Perú y Chile por Don Hipólito Ruiz y Don Joseph Pavon, .... Madrid 1794, Gilia p.25) . He was a member of several academies: the Apatisti of Florence, the Georgofili of Treja, Corneto and Foligno, the Volsci of Velletri, the Agricultural Partners of Turin, the Italian Academics, Arcadi, Aborigeni, the Lincei of Rome; he left several manuscripts that are in the Vatican, including a work on lightning rods and a life by Nicola Zabaglia, master bridge master at the Fabbrica di S. Pietro. In the chapel of the S.Crocifisso all'Aracoeli where he rests, an epigraph dictated by his friend Abate Francesco Cancellieri reminds him: cf. Literary Ephemerides of Rome vol. 4, 1821 p. 281; F.Cancellieri, Gilii Filippo Luigi in E. de Tipaldo, Biography of illustrious Italians in the sciences, letters and arts ..., Venice 1838, Vol. 6, pp. 362-4; G.Lais, Memoirs and writings of Mons.

réf. 60173Bound volume of newspapers. Double-folio 79 issues plus one prospectus and two extras approximately 440 pages representing the "Albany Argus Daily Semi-Weekly and Weekly" "The Sober Second Thought for the Presidential Campaign of 1844" "Clay Tribune" "New-York Weekly Tribune" and the "Freeman's Journal." The newspapers represented different sides of the 1844 campaign for the Presidency between James K. Polk and Henry Clay. This hotly contested election which Polk won by a narrow margin hinged on the question of the admission of the Republic of Texas to the Union and the issue of territorial expansion in general with its effect on the balance between slave and free states. The Prospectus issue for the Sober Second Thought prints the "Treaty of Annexation concluded between the United States of America and the Republic of Texas at Washington the 12th day of April 1844" accompanied by Martin Van Buren's response Van Buren was competing with Polk for the Democratic nomination but his opposition to Texas annexation proved costly.
