The symbolic epistemological implications of the different mythological set up of the (Egyptian)-Mesopotamian culture compared to the Grecian one

The Mesopotamian peoples were never really dominated by the reason the way we conceptualize it. It's to the revelation as direct emanation of the divine that they ascribed the appearance of knowledge

Jung and his search for sense. The Jungian Symbol producer of sense as opposed to the foolishness and violence of the rationality of "the age of technology". Excerpt by.

Jung's interpretative "matrix" seems to offer us the possibility to frame the social phenomenology concerning the loss of sense, with the consequent load of experience of widespread awkwardness, in a context of epoch-making, progressive, "one-dimensional" reduction of the symbolic. This seems to us the fundamental matrix of the disastrous, schizoid conflict of the present day society: on one side a literalism in keeping with the logics of power and control, disheartening any possibility of individual and collective development and wellbeing; on the other side the absolute impossibility to keep together the fragments of this vision of the world, anachronistic as it appears by now, in an epoch-making realizing of what could be defined as the violence of the "monotheism" of the reason. The pervasive social influence we are subjected to and we suffer even in the ephemeral shelter of our privacy speaks the language of literalism, rejects the oxygenating receptiveness to the metaphor, prefers the poor inclusive significance of the meaning to the deeper (and potentially enlivening source of psychic welfare) but embarrassing liberty of the sense

Does the Soul's sleep generate the Reason? The symbol's compensatory aspect at quantum-psychoid matrix with regard to the Reason's unilateralism. Excerpt by.

A Symbol doesn't explain, says Jung. In fact it is beyond the dichotomy of the binary logic, that wants the limiting and restrictive diktat of the tertium non datur to be perpetuated so as to be obliged to choose between two possibilities being anyway on the same nomological axis

Quantum psychoid freewill ? Excerpt by.

What we've considered so far about the epistemology of human sciences comes up again as to the concept of "destiny''and human free will: who "must" tell us if we are destined or not? Either Neuroscientists or sociologists? Either Philosophers or biochemists? Has psychology anything to say? Do we need a pool to gather them all? Many other questions come up: what determines us and how much? ls there any sense in talking about destiny? We are a complex system and our conscience is an epiphenomenon of a unitary hierarchical system: would this exclude any possibility of choice? And what does "free choice" mean? And what about the consequences on the ethics? Being Jung and Pauli’s thought a reference point, might we outline a comprehensive reading as regards such problems, even thinking of a sort of quantum psychoid free will

Displacement convexity of Entropy and the distance cost Optimal Transportation

During the last decade Optimal Transport had a relevant role in the study of geometry of singular spaces that culminated with the Lott-Sturm-Villani theory. The latter is built on the characterisation of Ricci curvature lower bounds in terms of displacement convexity of certain entropy functionals along $W_{2}$-geodesics. Substantial recent advancements in the theory (localization paradigm and local-to-global property) have been obtained considering the different point of view of $L^1$-Optimal transport problems yielding a different curvature dimension $\mathsf{CD}^{1}(K,N)$ [8] formulated in terms of one-dimensional curvature properties of integral curves of Lipschitz maps. In this note we show that the two approaches produce the same curvature-dimension condition reconciling the two definitions. In particular we show that the $\mathsf{CD}^{1}(K,N)$ condition can be formulated in terms of displacement convexity along $W_{1}$-geodesics.Comment: Comments are welcom

The impact of economic policies over the agricultural sector in the southern hemisphere: The case of Argentina, 1980 - 2006

The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the economic policies on the Argentinean Agricultural sector for the period 1980-2007. By evaluating the changes that have been taken place in the production styles and the role played by the rise in profitability of cereals, oleaginous crops and beef cattle, we seek to identify the main elements that will allow us to understand the general path that the sector has taken for the period under analysis. After explaining the general evolution of the sector, we end up our analysis identifying the future challenges that the country will face regarding food security, health regulations and environmental problems.agriculture, livestock, profitability, food security, Argentina.,

Il concetto di autenticità in C.G. Jung e sue correlazioni col pensiero di M. Heidegger e le concezioni panpsichiste.

In this pages the author suggests a spiritual interpretation of Jungian epistemology as a way towards authenticity. He also argues that Martin Heidegger's philosophy and panpsychism can confirm the possibility offered by Jung - with his alchemical - archetypical description of human nature - to achieve a deeper and more authentic awareness of our existence

Jung, il Simbolo e la ricerca del senso nell'Età della Tecnica. Il carattere spirituale della matrice quanto -psicoide dell'energetica del Simbolo

The thesis of the paper maintains it is impossible to disregard a change in the statue of analytical psychology involving the notion of psychoid and its correlation to quantum physics, being psyche not separable from matter. This change finds its most accomplished and impressive epicentre in C.G. Jung and W. Pauli’s theory of synchronicity, in which the Jungian Self becomes the psyche’s quantum psychoid regulatory center, in a Spiritual sense

L'épistémologie jungienne et le Livre Rouge

“Vocatus atque non vocatus Deus aderit." (C.G. Jung) Dans le Liber Novus, la résonance des champs archétypiques, qui se manifeste dans dans le primat de l'imago et de l'imaginal, explose dans toute sa « pathique » évidence. L'archétype jungien semble contenir en soi l'écho du telos omniprésent qui parcourt la coincidentia oppositorum. On est alors amené à penser à la conception de Nicola Cusano

Metric measure spaces satisfying curvature-dimension bounds: geometric and analytical properties

Motivated by a description of lower bounds on Ricci curvature not relying on any smoothness assumption (i.e. synthetic), the theory of metric spaces $(X,mathsf d)$ endowed with a reference measure $mathfrak m$ (i.e. emph{metric measure space}, or m.m.s. for short) has aroused great interest in the last twenty years. The latter theory has grown more and more, addressing several issues:the study of functional and geometric inequalities in structures which are very far from being Euclidean (therefore requiring new non-Riemannian tools), the description of the \u201cclosure\u201d of classes of Riemannian manifolds under suitable geometric constraints, the stability of analytic and geometric properties of spaces. The celebrated Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of metric measure spaces cite{Lott-Villani09}, cite{Sturm06I}, cite{Sturm06II} furnishes synthetic notions of a Ricci curvature lower bound $K$ joint with an upper bound $N$ on the dimension. Their condition, called the Curvature-Dimension condition and denoted by $mathsf{CD}(K,N)$, is formulated in terms of a modified displacement convexity of an entropy functional along $W_{2}$-Wasserstein geodesics. A weaker variant of $mathsf{CD}(K,N)$, namely the Measure Contraction Property $mathsf{MCP}(K,N)$, was independently introduced by Ohta in cite{Ohta1} and Sturm in cite{Sturm06II}. This thesis is devoted to the study of geometric and analytical properties of metric measure spaces satisfying the above mentioned curvature-dimension bounds; this will done by means of tools from Optimal Transport Theory. The first problem we will consider concerns the establishment of an isoperimetric inequality in m.m.s's satisfying the $mathsf{MCP}(K,N)$ condition. More precisely, in cite{CS19} we prove that if $(X,mathsf d,mathsf{m})$ is an essentially non-branching metric measure space with $mathsf m(X)=1$ and satisfying $mathsf{MCP}(K,N)$, then a sharp isoperimetric inequality `a la L'evy-Gromov holds true. In particular, we identify a family of one-dimensional $mathsf{MCP}(K,N)$-densities, each for every choice of $K,N$, volume $v$ and diameter $D$, not verifying $CD(K,N)$, and having optimal isoperimetric profile for the volume $v$. Measure theoretic rigidity is also obtained. In cite{CCMcCAS} we show that the choice of the squared-distance function as transport cost does not influence the definition of $mathsf{CD}(K,N)$. By denoting with $mathsf{CD}_{p}(K,N)$ the analogous condition but with the cost given by the $p^{th}$ power of the distance, we show that $mathsf{CD}_{p}(K,N)$ are all equivalent conditions for any p>1 --- if the space $(X,mathsf d,mathsf m)$ is either non-branching or at least satisfies appropriate versions of the essentially non-branching condition; the needle decomposition or localization technique associated to the L^{1}$-optimal transport problem will be the trait d'union between all the seemingly unrelated$mathsf{CD}_{p}(K,N)$conditions. The use of$L^1$-Optimal transport is encoded in the$mathsf{CD}^{1}(K,N)$condition, introduced for the first time in cite{CMi16} to solve the long standing problem of the so-called local-to-global property of$mathsf{CD}(K,N)$. Following the same approach of cite{CMi16}, we will also establish the local-to-global property of$mathsf{CD}_{p}(K,N)$spaces for$p>1$. Finally, in cite{CGS20} we show that the$mathsf{CD}^{1}(K,N)$condition can be formulated in terms of displacement convexity along$W_{1}$-geodesics; hence, the two approaches produce the same curvature-dimension condition.Combining this result with the one described previously, we establish that for any$p geq 1$, all the$mathsf{CD}_{p}(K,N)$conditions, when expressed in terms of displacement convexity, are equivalent, provided the space$X$ satisfies the appropriate essentially non-branching condition
