L’uomo è la più tronfia, superba e tracotante delle creature. La necessità di soddisfare i suoi bisogni e la sete di conoscenza lo hanno indotto a esplorare, sperimentare, a spostare il limite sempre un po’ più in là. All’inizio è stata una questione di sopravvivenza, poi è diventato un meccanismo talmente abituale da risultare connaturato, a tratti perverso: competere con gli dèi, sottomettere gli animali, dominare la natura, sconfiggere la morte. Questa è la hybris, il tragico errore di Icaro. Per Carlo Bordoni è alla hybris che va ricondotta la crisi del nostro tempo. Oggi i valori di democrazia, libertà, uguaglianza e progresso appaiono scarnificati, scoloriti e intermittenti, fragili origami privi di autorevolezza e sacrificati al dio dell’eccesso; oggi si profetizza un nuovo declino dell’Occidente. Perché il colmo della tracotanza consiste nell’ignorare deliberatamente il futuro, nel vivere in un eterno presente dominato dalla voracità del benessere e da un’inquietante forma di indifferenza. Ma, paradossalmente, è proprio grazie alla hybris che possiamo riscattare il presente e nutrire speranze per il futuro: avere la spinta a superare i limiti significa saper deviare dal percorso già tracciato, compiere uno scarto e magari trovare una nuova via. Significa riappropriarsi del potere di determinare il futuro, a dispetto di qualsiasi opprimente organismo sovranazionale o orwelliano dispositivo di controllo. Essere disobbedienti significa essere creativi. Essere Icaro significa volare alto, quasi fino al sole.

This book explores the ancient question of why man seeks to go beyond his limits. A presumptuous tendency known by the ancient Greeks as hubris and believed to be punished by the gods, it developed from a need for our survival to a habit, as humanity has subdued animals, dominated nature, increased knowledge and sought even to overcome death. It also lies behind the crisis of our time, as the values of democracy, freedom, equality and progress have been weakened – sacrificed to excess, as we live in an eternal present, dominated by greed and indifference regarding the future. Addressing this crisis of our interregnum period, in which faith has been lost in the former certainties of modernity, such as science, progress and the idea of a better world, the author considers whether redemption for humanity might lie in our hubristic tendencies, as these give us scope to deviate from the existing path and find new ways forward.

Intimità pubblica è un ossimoro, una contraddizione in termini: ciò che fa parte della sfera riservata non può essere reso pubblico. Eppure una caratteristica della società liquida in cui viviamo è proprio questa: che le barriere di tutto ciò che è privato vengono eliminate e il suo contenuto disseminato. Accade principalmente in rete, sui social network, attraverso tecnologie che incoraggiano gli individui a rivelare tutto di sé in uno sforzo per essere conosciuti e riconosciuti, in un mondo in cui non abbiamo più il tempo di ascoltare noi stessi e gli altri. Tutto è fragile, transitorio e instabile in una società che sembra essere governata più dalle emozioni che dalla ragione. È la condizione dell’eterno presente che giustifica decisioni e scelte prese sulla base dell’intuizione del momento, sperando di cogliere l’attimo fuggente, assicurarsi qualcosa di definito, almeno per un momento, che dia senso alla vita. In un saggio aggiornatissimo e documentato, Carlo Bordoni offre una mappa per navigare nei mari turbolenti della contemporaneità, un invito a riscoprire il senso di comunità che abbiamo perduto, o forse soltanto dimenticato, e di cui invece abbiamo sempre più bisogno. “ Nell’antichità si guardava al passato, nella modernità al futuro; adesso si guarda esclusivamente al presente. Corriamo dentro il presente e ci rifugiamo in esso, nell’incapacità o nella paura di affrontare il domani.”

Steps forward in mathematics often reverberate in other scientific disciplines, and give rise to innovative conceptual developments or find surprising technological applications. This volume brings to the forefront some of the proponents of the mathematics of the twentieth century, who have put at our disposal new and powerful instruments for investigating the reality around us. The portraits present people who have impressive charisma and wide-ranging cultural interests, who are passionate about defending the importance of their own research, are sensitive to beauty, and attentive to the social and political problems of their times. What we have sought to document is mathematics’ central position in the culture of our day. Space has been made not only for the great mathematicians but also for literary texts, including contributions by two apparent interlopers, Robert Musil and Raymond Queneau, for whom mathematical concepts represented a valuable tool for resolving the struggle between ‘soul and precision.’

Today we hear much talk of crisis and comparisons are often made with the Great Depression of the 1930s, but there is a crucial difference that sets our current malaise apart from the 1930s: today we no longer trust in the capacity of the state to resolve the crisis and to chart a new way forward. In our increasingly globalized world, states have been stripped of much of their power to shape the course of events. Many of our problems are globally produced but the volume of power at the disposal of individual nation-states is simply not sufficient to cope with the problems they face. This divorce between power and politics produces a new kind of paralysis. It undermines the political agency that is needed to tackle the crisis and it saps citizens’ belief that governments can deliver on their promises. The impotence of governments goes hand in hand with the growing cynicism and distrust of citizens. Hence the current crisis is at once a crisis of agency, a crisis of representative democracy and a crisis of the sovereignty of the state. In this book the world-renowned sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and fellow traveller Carlo Bordoni explore the social and political dimensions of the current crisis. While this crisis has been greatly exacerbated by the turmoil following the financial crisis of 2007-8, Bauman and Bordoni argue that the crisis facing Western societies is rooted in a much more profound series of transformations that stretch back further in time and are producing long-lasting effects. This highly original analysis of our current predicament by two of the world’s leading social thinkers will be of interest to a wide readership.

The first comprehensive look at the global dilemma of child migration Why, despite massive public concern, is child trafficking on the rise? Why are unaccompanied migrant children living on the streets and routinely threatened with deportation to their countries of origin? Why do so many young refugees of war-ravaged and failed states end up warehoused in camps, victimized by the sex trade, or enlisted as child soldiers? This book provides the first comprehensive account of the widespread but neglected global phenomenon of child migration, exploring the complex challenges facing children and adolescents who move to join their families, those who are moved to be exploited, and those who move simply to survive. Spanning several continents and drawing on the stories of young migrants, Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age provides a comprehensive account of the widespread and growing but neglected global phenomenon of child migration and child trafficking. It looks at the often-insurmountable obstacles we place in the paths of adolescents fleeing war, exploitation, or destitution; the contradictory elements in our approach to international adoption; and the limited support we give to young people brutalized as child soldiers. Part history, part in-depth legal and political analysis, this powerful book challenges the prevailing wisdom that widespread protection failures are caused by our lack of awareness of the problems these children face, arguing instead that our societies have a deep-seated ambivalence to migrant children—one we need to address head-on. Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age offers a road map for doing just that, and makes a compelling and courageous case for an international ethics of children's human rights.

Challenging the thought of Zygmunt Bauman on the subject of liquid modernity, where everything has become unstable, precarious and uncertain, Carlo Bordoni (author with Bauman of »State of Crisis«) proposes to look at contemporary society as an »interregnum«, a temporary break with the past. In a condition characterised by anomie, the questioning of democratic achievements and the primacy of an unbridled economy, he offers a new perspective on our social condition. Understanding the interregnum and being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails can help us to make the right choices.

When the author of Identity and Reality accepted Langevin's suggestion that Meyerson "identify the thought processes" of Einstein's relativity theory, he turned from his assured perspective as historian of the sciences to the risky bias of contemporary philosophical critic. But Emile Meyerson, the epis temologist as historian, could not find a more rigorous test of his conclusions from historical learning than the interpretation of Einstein's work, unless perhaps he were to turn from the classical revolution of Einstein's relativity to the non-classical quantum theory. Meyerson captures our sympathy in all his writings: " . . . the role of the epistemologist is . . . in following the development of science" (250); the study of the evolution of reason leads us to see that "man does not experience himself reasoning . . . which is carried on unconsciously," and as the summation of his empirical studies of the works and practices of scientists, "reason . . . behaves in an altogether predict able way: . . . first by making the consequent equivalent to the antecedent, and then by actually denying all diversity in space" (202). If logic - and to Meyerson the epistemologist is logician - is to understand reason, then "logic proceeds a posteriori. " And so we are faced with an empirically based Par menides, and, as we shall see, with an ineliminable 'irrational' within science. Meyerson's story, written in 1924, is still exciting, 60 years later.
