DOPO HEGEL. TOTALITÀ E SOCIETÀ

The present article addresses the question of the relationship between the Constitution of the State and the freedom of the individual in the light of the recent book by professor Giuseppe Duso Libertà e Costituzione in Hegel, an essay regarding Hegel’s political think-ing and particularly on his Philosophy of Right. By trying to sum up Hegel’s complex ar-gument about sovereignty and government, this article aims to highlight an historical and theoretical problem: with the end of the Jus Publicum Europaeum something has changed in the conceiving of the relation between State and civil society. It seems nowadays very hard to figure out government without sovereignty because of the difficult to imagine a po-litical functioning within the “totality” brought about by the age of globalization and by the crisis of the national States

Wittgenstein. Playing on the Edges of Language

This article aims to show the development of Wittgenstein’s conception of language from a pictorial model to a musical model. At first language is considered as a “means of representation” but in the second phase of Wittgenstein’s work the problem of understanding a proposition and the different shades of meaning supports an analogy with the musical dimension. In this perspective, Wittgenstein approaches the idea of language-game

Il concetto corporale De Sanctis e la “concezione” dantesca

The present essay focuses on De Sanctis’ Lectures on Dante, held during his exile in Turin and Zürich, in order to show how aesthetics, politics and religion converge in his works. De Sanctis reads Dante’s journey throughout Hell, Purgatory and Paradise both as a diary and a drama, which reintroduces action, passions and a multitude of feelings in the peace and stillness that rule the kingdom of God after the final Judgment. De Sanctis tries to illustrate how Dante unifies body and concept, moving from allegories and personifications towards figures and real people, such as Beatrice, Francesca, Vanni Fucci and Ugolino. Dante’s conception of the relationship between history and eternity plays a leading role in De Sanctis’ reworking of Hegel’s Aesthetics

Bortezomib Plus Dexamethasone Followed by Escalating Donor Lymphocyte Infusions for Patients with Multiple Myeloma Relapsing or Progressing after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Abstract Multiple myeloma relapsing after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) has a poor outcome. To assess the safety and efficacy of bortezomib and dexamethasone (VD) combination followed by donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) in myeloma patients relapsing or progressing after alloSCT, a prospective phase II study was designed. The treatment plan consisted of three VD courses followed by escalated doses of DLIs in case of response or at least stable disease. Nineteen patients were enrolled with a median age of 57 years (range, 33 to 67); 14 patients were allografted from human leukocyte antigen–identical siblings and 5 from alternative donors. Sixteen of 19 patients received the planned treatment, but 3 patients did not: 2 patients because of disease progression and 1 refused. After the VD phase the response rate was 62%, with 1 complete remission, 6 very good partial remissions, 5 partial remissions, 2 patients with stable disease, and 5 with progressive disease. After the DLI phase, the response rate was 68%, but a significant upgrade of response was observed: 3 stringent complete remissions, 2 complete remissions, 5 very good partial remissions, 1 partial remission, 4 with stable disease, and 1 with progressive disease. With a median follow-up of 40 months (range, 29 to 68), the 3-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 31% and 73%, respectively. Neither unexpected organ toxicities, in particular severe neuropathy, nor severe acute graft-versus-host disease flares were observed. VD-DLIs is a safe treatment for multiple myeloma patients relapsing or progressing after alloSCT and may be effective

El Trabajo de la Historia / The Work of History

El presente artículo concentra su atención sobre la relación entre la denominada Jenenser Realphilosophie de Hegel y su filosofía de la historia. Partiendo de los conceptos de “Wirklichkeit”, “Arbeit” y “Unruhe”, y de la consideración del rol decisivo jugado por La Riqueza de las naciones de Smith en la formación de Hegel, el artículo intenta demostrar como la concepción de la historia de Hegel dependa fuertemente de los escritos de Jena. El famoso concepto de “astucia de la razón”, tal como desarrollado en los escritos de Jena, nos permite aclarar la función y la tarea del Estado en la Historia, así como ésta está comprendida por un lado en la Filosofía del derecho y por otro lado en las lecturas sobre la Filosofía de la historia. Palabras clave: Filosofía de la historia, Aufhebung, Arbeit, Astucia de la razón, Adam Smith.AbstractThe present article focuses on the relationship between the so-called Hegel’s Jenenser Realphilosophie and his philosophy of history. Starting from the concepts of “Wirklichkeit”, “Arbeit” and “Unruhe”, and by the evaluation of the decisive role played by Smith’s Wealth of  Nations in Hegel’s background, the article tries to show how Hegel’s conception of history strongly depends on Jena Writings. The famous concept of “Cunning of Reason”, as it is developed in Jena Writings, enables us to make clear the function and the task of the State in History, as it is involved on one hand in the Philosophy of Right and on the other hand in the Lectures on the Philosophy of History. Keywords: Philosophy of History, Aufhebung, Arbeit, Cunning of Reason, Adam Smith.</p

Riserva e Rifugio. Lombra del pensare tra Kant e Hegel

Larticolo intende instaurare un confronto tra il pensiero di Kant e quello di Hegel, in particolare riguardo al problema della cosa in sé. Secondo Kant la cosa in sé è una riserva, ossia la possibilità di pensare un oggetto senza alcuna intenzione conoscitiva. Hegel, al contrario, la definisce il caput mortuum del criticismo kantiano, un astratto Aldilà. Hegel considera questo inconoscibile come un puerile rifugio, una sorta di luogo vuoto e astratto in cui il pensiero possa nascondersi per evitare di pensare la logica del reale, che è il mondo inteso in senso logico e storico. La cosa in sé è contesa tra riserva e rifugio, e questo è il discrimine tra la filosofia kantiana ed hegeliana: questa ombra del pensiero costituisce un limite oggettivo dellintelletto per Kant, mentre per Hegel è essa stessa un prodotto del pensiero che dunque si pone come attività illimitata
