L’autore sviluppa questo programma proponendo un’indagine bibliografica sulle collane e le riviste riconducibili a Piovani e ai suoi allievi. La ricerca bibliografica restituisce l’immagine fedele della pluralità delle linee di ricerca perseguite dalla scuola napoletana, le quali, pur nella loro irriducibilità a un piano unitario di indagine, non smarriscono mai l’impostazione teorica di fondo che le connota e le lega al magistero piovaniano. L’autore mette in atto il tentativo di guadagnare una distanza critica rispetto alla ricca e feconda vicenda speculativa piovaniana, liberandola dalle residue nostalgie ontologistiche e indicandone una traiettoria di sviluppo in una direzione autenticamente e radicalmente storicistica. Una direzione che la scuola piovaniana ha seguito e continua a seguire.

L’autore rileva la permanente ansia per le sorti dell’oggettualità storica, nella sua eccedenza rispetto alle pretese costruttive del metodo, che si manifesta sullo sfondo del formalismo metodologico della scuola neokantiana del Baden. La difficoltà di coordinare e conciliare siffatto impulso verso l’oggettualità storica con la concezione copernicana dell’oggetto della conoscenza e con quella della trascendenza dei valori rappresenta lo scoglio sul quale è destinata ad arenarsi la logica neokantiana della storia.

Da un lato, quella di radicare lo sviluppo storico della civiltà islamica e delle civiltà in genere in un “centro forte” che eviti il rischio dello smarrimento della loro identità individuale; dall’altro, quella di innalzare a piena consapevolezza scientifica la circostanza che l’identità in questione è anch’essa storicamente divenuta, configurandosi come un processo di identificazione che presuppone sempre, non solo al suo esterno ma anche al suo interno, il molteplice tessuto delle differenze, che è poi il tessuto stesso della storia universale. Proprio questo tentativo di pensare insieme il tema dell’identità individuale e quello della sua evenienza storica consente di collocare Becker nel complesso arcipelago dello Historismus tedesco dei primi decenni del novecento.

intende fornire un contributo alla ricostruzione della recezione e “rifrazione” dell’opera di Max Weber nell’ambito della cultura filosofica europea. Questa ricognizione storiografica prova a misurarsi con la complessità di temi e problemi incrociati dalla riflessione weberiana – dalle grandi questioni metodologiche alla polemica sulla scienza e sulla politica come professione, dalla sociologia della razionalizzazione fino al politeismo dei valori – e a valutarne il potente impatto sulle filosofie del Novecento. Il volume intende inoltre indagare la fitta trama di fonti e interlocutori del pensiero weberiano fornendo un quadro rappresentativo della sua genesi storico-problematica.

In fact, Neo-Kantianism played a leading role in the formation of the German philosophical and cultural scenario of the 20th century, becoming on the one hand an inexhaustible source of ideas and methods for the so-called Kulturwissenschaften, and on the other
hand embracing within its multifaceted development several crucial issues brought forward by these sciences […]. This volume attempts to circumscribe the vast issues briefly outlined here by conducting historical-problematic incursions into and around certain scholars and central problems of the Neo-Kantian constellation. The themes addressed in the essays that follow concern the systematic frameworks of neo-Kantian methodology and their reflections in multiple disciplinary applications, from jurisprudence to linguistics, from aesthetics to philosophical historiography, from sociology to psychology. Finally, there are also contributions that attempt to isolate
the ultimate philosophical grounds of Neo-Kantian thinking on Kultur.

L’oggetto “cultura”, tema centrale pure della filosofia cassireriana, è letto, analizzato e proposto come nodo problematico ma gravido di spunti fecondi e attuali, da plurime prospettive teoriche
e ambiti disciplinari diversificati.

Jahrhunderts, deren menschliches und theoretisches Profil sich nur schwer zu einem klar konturierten Bild zusammenfügt. Der vorliegende Band will ein Beitrag zum Neuverständnis des Laskschen Denkens sein, wobei nicht nur die Merkmale seiner Philosophie, sondern auch die Grundzüge einer zukunftsorientierten Reflexion aufgezeigt werden, deren Größe darin besteht, dass sie Probleme vorwegnimmt, die noch heute im Mittelpunkt der philosophischen Debatte stehen.

The essay illustrates on the one hand the lines of continuity of Weber’s methodological reflection with respect to the Neo-Kantian conception of method, and on the other hand the clear differences between Weber’s conception of culture and the Neo-Kantian philosophy of values. For Weber, cultural values cannot be coordinated in a value system, but inevitably converge in a fluid structure of conflicting points of view, which he reconstructs on the background of his studies on the sociology
of religion. The outcome is a reflection on the “meaning of culture”, which allows a critical view at the whole Weberian thought

The neo-humanistic model proposed by Jaeger is deconstructed in its methodological components and is analysed in its relationships to the contemporary isolating approaches to universal history of Spengler and Troeltsch. Finally, the author demonstrates that Jaeger’s ‘Humanismus’ turns into a contradiction
between a concept of humanistic culture as community praxis und as inescapable historical destiny.

The central theme of the first section is the idea that modern culture is uniquely characterized by “ fragmentation”. It also unpacks the programme of Rickert’s philosophy of culture, which pursues the task of reconstructing the lost unity of culture. The second section explains the methodological implications of the problematic relationship between value and reality established in cultural goods and evaluations. Finally, the third section reconstructs the rickertian
system of values, with its peculiar effort to reconcile historicity and value absoluteness. The last part develops a critical discussion of the Rickertian project.

The first is the project of an anthropology of the whole man (ganzer Mensch), that Schiller develops from his early medical writings and which has, as a consequence, the rehabilitation of sensitivity and its reconciliation with the other powers of the human soul. The second is connected to the critique of the modernity and to the construction of a Grecian image in which all conflicts of the bourgeois society are recomposed.

Il contributo analizza la celebre conferenza weberiana su Wissenschaft als Beruf mettendone in evidenza le implicazioni etico-valoriali. La scienza come professione weberiana è esaminata in relazione al paradigma della perfettibilità/progressività che attenta alla sua significatività e lega d’altro canto il suo destino a quello della cultura moderna nel suo complesso. Infine il contributo prende in esame il concetto della Klarheit nei suoi significati filosofici e metodologici, e mostra il profondo legame che la “ragione weberiana” ‒ nelle sue varie declinazioni ‒ conserva con l’oscura regione dell’irrazionale.
