This is the first book to examine in full the interconnections between Giambattista Vico's new science and James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Maintaining that Joyce is the greatest modern "interpreter" of Vico, Donald Phillip Verene demonstrates how images from Joyce's work offer keys to Vico's philosophy. Verene presents the entire course of Vico's philosophical thought as it develops in his major works, with Joyce's words and insights serving as a guide.The book devotes a chapter to each period of Vico's thought, from his early orations on education to his anti-Cartesian metaphysics and his conception of universal law, culminating in his new science of the history of nations. Verene analyzes Vico's major works, including all three editions of the New Science. The volume also features a detailed chronology of the philosopher's career, historical illustrations related to his works, and an extensive bibliography of Vico scholarship and all English translations of his writings

Für eine Philosophie, welche die Kultur als genuinen philosophischen Gegenstand zu begreifen sucht, bietet die 'Scienza Nuova' Giambattista Vicos (1668-1744) zahlreiche Anregungen. Mit dem Heft 2/2010 der 'Zeitschrift für Kulturphilosophie' widmet erstmals eine deutschsprachige philosophische Fachzeitschrift den Denkansätzen des neapolitanischen Philosophen ein eigenes Themenheft. Zur Sprache kommen dabei Grundzüge von Vicos kulturphilosophischer Wendung ebenso wie Fragen des Verhältnisses von Poiesis und Praxis, Reflexionen zur Sinnlichkeit der Sprache, seine Kritik an der cartesianischen Konstruktion des Subjekts oder das Problem der Historizität.

The architectural practice of Giuseppe Terragni (1904-1943) takes place during the twentieth century modern social movements, as architecture and urban form follow a major shift in the political conditions, in Italy and beyond. This dissertation is a demonstration of the quest for the rational in the architectural practice of Giuseppe Terragni. Furthermore, it sorts out the role of Terragni's practice in the dichotomous relationships between city and architecture as well as state and project. Initially, it is the obligation of this dissertation to address questions of principles, in order to build a plenum for the relationship between the city and architecture. It traces movements through translation and transformation of architectural impression, in form and type, and its meta in concinnity, in terms of legacy, legitimacy, and the rational in idea. THESIS. The implicit rational in architecture exists in hierarchical order that allows for it to form unity of the whole that any of its constituents cannot form individually. It should be the architect's duty to fully reconcile all the elements in action for and against form in architecture, and demonstrate that the resultant is not a mere compromise but a necessary optimal condition. Therefore, I start with a stance in which I attempt to show how Giuseppe Terragni, in his ratiocinium, explicates the implicit rational in architecture, against the sea of protean political conditions. Giuseppe Terragni can be understood in his convictions which we may be able to sort out through his words, works, and deeds. In his pursuit of the rational Giuseppe Terragni offers a clue to the time and actions taking place, as if he were to remind us of the Homeric song about the deeds of men with convictions under their destiny and their ironic tragicomedy. Terragni's Danteum is the one instance where destiny seems closer to fulfillment. Dante Alighieri's dream of the glorious empire seems to materialize in the signs of the monarchy and its savior Mussolini. Since the fascist movement concerns itself with questions of legitimacy that in lineage shifts between histories of origins and middles, the shifting in language plays an important role in the sorting out of factum and verum. Languages that enter into this play shift laterally mainly between Greek, Latin, and Italian. And, at times Dardanian and Proto-Albanian, both Illyrian dialects, enter the play. METHOD. Many aspects of this inquiry demand specific research methods as shown through the general and specific instances of man's activity as work which results in that which is made (factum) and the pursuit of that which is true (verum). Therefore, method in the sense of search for the way concerning purpose in what is made is conducted through istoria and historiography. Meanwhile, the search for truth, as it does not concern itself with the same scope as factum, requires philosophy as means towards knowledge, to sort out questions regarding truth. This dissertation follows certain Italian philosophers as guides in the pursuit. Not the least among them is Giambattista Vico who proposes that universal laws of development of men and society can be traced through the union between verum and factum. So, verum and factum become characters of the same play. Philology, love for reason, as a subspecies of philosophy, is a means toward knowledge in unraveling of the layers of the rational in the making. Additionally, in this inquiry, I employ analogies, diagrams, ideograms, and images, which demonstrate the quest for the rational in the architectural practice of Giuseppe Terragni. ; Doctor of Philosophy ; The architectural practice of Giuseppe Terragni (1904-1943) takes place during the twentieth century modern social movements, as architecture and urban form follow a major shift in the political conditions, in Italy and beyond.

Abstract
The strandentwining intertext of Finnegans Wake both obscures and unveils meaning. The cultural ramifications of James Joyce's intertext, however, run deep, as he subjects the relevant intertexts to subsequent rewritings in order to multiply meaning. In such context, intertextuality in itself can be likened to a translation, whereby otherness is adapted into a literary space to enable the construction or reconstruction of new significance, thus facilitating a far-reaching cross-cultural dialogue; both author and readers, in turn, assume the role of poeta doctus and litteratus doctus, respectively. Accordingly, the intertexts Joyce has sewn into the text are in constant transformation both via their medium and their audience, as is the case with the Viconian intertext. Giambattista Vico's The New Science was carefully integrated by Joyce into Finnegans Wake1 and adapted to Irish society; Vico's philosophical thought, which permeates the Wake, provides structure and enables the layering of intertextual units, thus multiplying significations and intended meanings. Vico's theories on language and history enable diachronic and anachronic explorations within the Wake, as well as a simultaneous existence of different systems of thought. Joyce's use of the thunderwords as a primal linguistic expression, coupled with his creative cultural exploits and the systematic structuring of the Wake find their origin in Vico' The New Science.

Il lavoro di questa tesi prende spunto dalle più recenti critiche e l'attuale contrasto all'approccio multiculturale e segue quattro obiettivi principali: 1) Dimostrare che il multiculturalismo non è fallito, attraverso spiegazioni analitiche ed empiriche; 2) Dimostrare che le comunità segregate si formano a prescindere dalle politiche migratorie o dai modelli di riferimento, ipotizzando che il vero impatto di queste politiche sta nella natura liberale o meno della formazione delle comunità segregate; 3) Dimostrare che in ambito locale stiamo assistendo all'implementazione di politiche multiculturali in contrasto con quelle nazionali e che le stesse forze politiche che in ambito nazionale criticano l'approccio multiculturale, a livello locale cercano il dialogo con le comunità etniche e religiosi e stimolano l'integrazione; 4) Superare il modello multiculturale introducendo il nuovo paradigma della "interculturalità", un concetto che tiene conto della moltiplicazione degli elementi di differenziazione all'interno dei flussi migratori, della loro reciproca interazione, e che sembra essere l'approccio più adatto a garantire la coesione sociale, il riconoscimento dei diritti e il rispetto delle identità culturali e religiose delle diverse componenti etniche presenti nelle realtà locali. Nel primo capitolo discuto i contributi dei più importanti studiosi che hanno concorso allo sviluppo del pensiero politico liberale nelle società passate e in quelle attuali (post-globali). Prendo in esame il dibattito sul liberalismo, comunitarismo e neo-comunitarismo e successivamente analizzo le riflessioni teoriche dei principali studiosi del pensiero politico legate all'epistemologia multiculturale. Questi studiosi, con i loro contributi, hanno in qualche maniera contribuito alla nascita ed allo sviluppo delle nuove teorie multiculturali. A partire dalle riformulazioni liberali di John Rawls, quelle neo-comunitariste di Charles Taylor, la critica sul fronte liberale di Jürgen Habermas e le riflessioni di Will Kymlicka. Questo Excursus servirà per dimostrare che recentemente il multiculturalismo è diventato un argomento di prima importanza nel dibattito nord-americano ed europeo, e le sue origini remote si rintracciano nel "pluralismo delle culture" di Giambattista Vico e nella "autocoscienza culturale" di Johann Gottfried Herder. Per questo ho ritenuto importante ricostruire le tappe di questa discussione. Per comprendere meglio i concetti e per analizzare i modelli e le politiche odierne è necessario partire dalle memorie collettive – i "mattoni" del progresso attuale. Il secondo capitolo tratta il concetto di multiculturalismo, le origini del problema multiculturale e le sue sfide. In una seconda parte, considero la questione multiculturale e multietnica in una prospettiva analitica che spiega alcuni modelli multiculturali; nella terza parte esamino la differenza tra multiculturalismo e modello multiculturale britannico, facendo emergere le criticità di quest'ultimo. Sempre in questa sezione, cerco di capire alcune cause che contribuiscono alla formazione delle comunità segregate e nell'ultima parte del capitolo svolgo alcune riflessioni su ulteriori casi di costruzione di queste comunità in altri Paesi europei (Germania, Francia e Italia). Dopo aver analizzato alcune ricerche di altri studiosi, espongo alcune ipotesi secondo le quali le comunità segregate si costruiscono a prescindere dalle politiche migratorie, visto che anche nei Paesi che adottano altri modelli di integrazione – ad esempio, quello assimilazionista o quello assistenzialista – si sono create delle comunità segregate. Le politiche migratorie, quindi, possono soltanto influenzare la forma delle comunità segregate, per un verso, lasciando i migranti liberi di costituirle (comunità "volute"), oppure imponendo delle situazioni di concentramento (comunità "imposte"), rendendole più aperte o più chiuse alle comunità di accoglienza. Nel terzo e nel quarto capitolo sono esaminate le riflessioni dei maggiori studiosi internazionali, attraverso la lettura le più recenti pubblicazioni di Tariq Modood, Ted Cantle e Gerard Bouchard. Ho rivolto particolare attenzione al Canada e al Québec: nel primo caso si rileva un modello implementato nel 1971, definito "modello multiculturale", invece nel secondo, contrapposto al primo, abbiamo un modello interculturale, sviluppato nella città nazione del Québec. Nel quinto capitolo esamino altri modelli interculturali, anzitutto quello formulato in America Latina da Fidel Tubino, in riferimento alle minoranze indigene del Perù e del Messico e alle loro richieste di partecipazione attiva nella vita pubblica; in Italia quello proposto da Pierluigi Consorti, con riferimento al discorso che sta sviluppando riguardo al dialogo religioso e al ruolo delle religioni nella società globale. In tale quadro verrà messo a fuoco il dibattito accademico che ha coinvolto molti Paesi europei nella sfida tra multiculturalismo e interculturalismo. Nelle conclusioni ho provato a comprendere come sia possibile percorrere una via di mezzo tra le posizioni multiculturali e interculturali, tenendo presente che in entrambi i casi rimane centrale il problema del riconoscimento tra maggioranza e minoranza all'interno di società diversificate. In questo caso, svolgo una riflessione sulle possibili linee-guida di un modello di implementazione di queste politiche in Italia, per superare i limiti presentati dal multiculturalismo: riconoscimento di molti gruppi etnici e culturali, possibile riconoscimento, frammentazione o ghettizzazione, con la prospettiva di un nuovo paradigma interculturale, dove alla maggioranza della società viene riconosciuta, attraverso regolamenti ad hoc, il mantenimento di alcuni elementi di memoria culturale collettiva ( i simboli, le religioni, la lingua, le festività, l'uso di elementi religiosi negli spazi pubblici con riserva), mentre alle minoranze nazionali, e in particolare ai nuovi arrivi, vengono riconosciuti alcuni diritti di rappresentanza e mantenimento della loro cultura.
