Sergio Della Sala"Perché dimentichiamo"Una scienza dell'oblioFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itFestival lungo l'Oglio17 giugno 2026, ore 21:00Sergio Della Sala"Perché dimentichiamo. Ascoltare l'oblio"Basilica di San Lorenzo Martire, Verolanuova (Brescia)www.festivallungologlio.itDimentichiamo. Tutti. Sempre. Anche le cose importanti. E il più delle volte ci sentiamo in colpa: come abbiamo potuto smarrire quel ricordo, quella parola, quel nome che era lì – e adesso non c'è più? Ma dimenticare non è una colpa. È un'arte. Anzi, è una necessità biologica, una strategia evolutiva e, se vogliamo, una benedizione.Sergio Della Sala – neuroscienziato tra i più prestigiosi al mondo e autore di raro equilibrio tra rigore scientifico e talento narrativo – ci invita a capovolgere la prospettiva. Non siamo creature difettose che perdono  i pezzi: siamo esseri che ricordano proprio perché sanno dimenticare.Questo non è un libro sul miglioramento personale. Non vi insegnerà a “ricordare di più”. Ma vi farà capire, con chiarezza e leggerezza, perché ricordare tutto sarebbe un disastro evolutivo e una tortura quotidiana. E perché, invece, l'oblio – tanto quanto la memoria – è una conquista della mente, un raffinato strumento di sopravvivenza, pensiero e libertà.Con una scrittura luminosa, capace di accostare Pico della Mirandola, Borges, Harry Potter e le cellule neuronali, Della Sala esplora le forme della dimenticanza: quelle fisiologiche e quelle patologiche, quelle comiche, tragiche o involontarie. E ci regala un elogio dell'oblio. Perché dimenticare non è solo umano.  È – finalmente – intelligente.“Ciò che sappiamo del mondo è ciò che rimane dopo che abbiamo dimenticato.”Un elogio dell'oblio come funzione  nobile, necessaria e creativa.  E se fosse proprio questa imperfezione  a renderci intelligenti?Sergio Della Sala è medico e Professore di Neuroscienze Cognitive presso l'Università di Edimburgo.

What happens when history remembers a brilliant young philosopher for his eccentric interests rather than the intellectual foundations he laid for the modern world?Maynooth University's lecturer and assistant professor, Dr. Amos Edelheit , joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the misunderstood legacy of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and his book, A Philosopher at the Crossroads: Giovanni Pico della Mirandola's Encounter with Scholastic Philosophy. Dr. Edelheit explores Pico's unique position bridging Renaissance humanism and Renaissance scholasticism. They examine how modern scholars have fundamentally distorted Pico's legacy by fixating on his fascination with Jewish Kabbalah, while neglecting his deep scholastic background, fails to understand Pico, as well as the very roots of modernity itself. In this conversation they explore:How Pico's youthful audacity led him to attempt an open, international debate in Rome with his 900 Theses. The scholarly distortion that hyper-focused on Pico's interest in Jewish mysticism , where he sought to find the origins of Christian mysteries. The fascinating evolution from medieval to Renaissance scholasticism, marking the moment formal philosophy stepped out of the university classroom and into public palaces and squares. The realization that the "Middle Ages" is actually a pejorative concept invented by Renaissance humanists to dismiss the centuries between themselves and antiquity. Pico's groundbreaking defense of philosophy as an independent discipline with intrinsic value and a distinct way of life. Why modern philosophy could not exist without scholasticism, and how thinkers from Descartes onward still had to battle with its established terminology. This is a conversation for anyone interested in intellectual history, Renaissance philosophy, and understanding the foundational forces that actually shaped modern thought.Make sure to check out Dr. Edelheit's book: A Philosopher at the Crossroads: Giovanni Pico della Mirandola's Encounter with Scholastic Philosophy

Welcome to Day 2851 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theosis and Its Counterfeit: How Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Their Heirs Distorted Deification. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2851 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2851 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled:  Theosis and Its Counterfeit: How Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Their Heirs Distorted Deification. The Eastern Orthodox Church preserves one of the most profound teachings of Christianity: theosis, or deification. This doctrine is not about erasing the line between Creator and creation but about God drawing humanity into His own life. Through Christ's incarnation, death, and resurrection, believers become partakers of the divine nature, not by nature but by grace. Athanasius expressed it clearly: “God became man so that man might become god.” By this, the Fathers never meant that humanity becomes equal to Yahweh in essence. Rather, theosis means that through grace we are healed, restored, and glorified in Christ, sharing in His life while always remaining His creatures. The Counterfeit in Eden The serpent in Eden also offered a form of deification. His words, “You will be like gods,” suggested that humanity could seize by rebellion what God intended to give through communion. The Eastern Orthodox vision of theosis fulfills God's purpose, while the serpent's promise distorts it. Throughout history, this distortion has reappeared in many guises, most notably in Hermeticism and Gnosticism. Echoes of Antediluvian Rebellion Many occult systems, whether ancient mystery religions or modern esoteric revivals, could have drawn their perceived legitimacy from the idea that they recover lost knowledge from before the Flood. Traditions surrounding the Watchers, the Apkallu, or figures like Prometheus all involve heavenly beings imparting forbidden wisdom to humanity in defiance of divine boundaries. This knowledge, which included arts, sciences, and sorcery, was not neutral. It was given with the intent to corrupt and destroy. After the Flood, while the physical giants perished, their spirits, what later literature calls demons, remained. These disembodied spirits could have been the source of insight or inspiration for occult practitioners throughout history, masquerading as guides to hidden wisdom while promoting rebellion against God. Whether through direct contact or mythic lineage, many esoteric movements trace their roots back to this primeval transgression. Hermeticism: Optimistic Gnosis The Corpus Hermeticum, composed in the early centuries of the Christian era, fused Egyptian religion with Greek philosophy. It taught that humans contain a divine spark that can be awakened through hidden wisdom. Salvation came not through God's grace but through gnosis, mystical ascent, and the realization of one's innate divinity. Unlike Gnosticism, Hermeticism viewed the cosmos more positively, as a reflection of divine order, but its end goal was the same: erasing the line between Creator and creation. Gnosticism: Dualistic Gnosis Gnosticism developed in the same cultural environment and shared Hermeticism's focus on hidden wisdom and the divine spark in man. But it was far more pessimistic. Many Gnostic systems taught that the material world was a prison fashioned by a false or ignorant creator, the Demiurge. Salvation meant escaping matter entirely and returning to the realm of spirit. Its texts, like the Apocryphon of John or the Gospel of Thomas, presented elaborate myths of aeons, archons, and cosmic struggles that reframed rebellion as enlightenment. Parallel Streams of Corruption Though different in tone, Hermeticism optimistic and Gnosticism pessimistic, both traditions proclaimed salvation by gnosis. Both claimed man was divine by nature. Both promised deification apart from Christ. And both blurred or destroyed the Creator–creature distinction. Where Orthodoxy taught communion by grace, Hermeticism and Gnosticism promised exaltation by hidden knowledge. Renaissance Rediscovery and Transmission In the Renaissance, Hermetic and Gnostic writings were rediscovered and hailed as the prisca theologia, a supposed universal truth older than Moses. Figures like Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola embraced these texts as revelations of timeless wisdom. Their influence spread through alchemy, astrology, and ritual magic, setting the stage for later esoteric societies. Hermetic optimism and Gnostic dualism together nourished the roots of Western occultism. Freemasonry Freemasonry grew out of the esoteric ferment of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, which were themselves shaped by the rediscovery of the Hermetic and Gnostic writings. While the fraternity presents itself publicly as a system of moral improvement and brotherhood, its inner symbolism and ritual language reveal a strong dependence on Hermetic and alchemical traditions. The Masonic use of sacred geometry, the emphasis on hidden degrees of initiation, and the maxim “as above, so below” all trace back to the Corpus Hermeticum and related Hermetic texts. The Renaissance had already reintroduced these ideas into European culture, presenting Hermeticism and Gnosticism as prisca theologia, a supposed ancient wisdom that underlay all religions. These concepts filtered into Rosicrucian manifestos in the seventeenth century, which combined mystical Christianity with alchemy and Hermetic philosophy. Rosicrucian influence, in turn, fed directly into the development of modern Freemasonry in the eighteenth century. The lodge thus became an heir to the Hermetic worldview, reframing gnosis not in overtly pagan terms but as moral allegory and ritual drama. Freemasonry's initiation system reflects the Gnostic idea that truth is revealed progressively to an inner circle of the enlightened. The candidate begins in ignorance, is symbolically “raised” to new life, and ascends through degrees of increasing illumination. The rituals employ veiled symbols and allegories rather than explicit teaching, echoing the Hermetic conviction that divine truths must be concealed from the unworthy and revealed only to initiates. This places Freemasonry in continuity with both Hermetic mysteries and Gnostic elitism. Although Freemasonry claims to honor God, it deliberately leaves the identity of God undefined. Its universalist ethos allows men of any faith to participate, so long as they acknowledge a Supreme Being. This broad inclusivity is not biblical covenantal faith but a continuation of Hermetic universalism, which treated all religions as partial reflections of a hidden wisdom tradition. By blending fragments of biblical language with Hermetic symbols and Gnostic structures, Freemasonry offers a path of human self-perfection and enlightenment apart from Christ. Mormonism Mormonism reflects both the Hermetic worldview and Masonic ritual structure. Long before Joseph Smith entered a Masonic lodge in Nauvoo, he was already immersed in practices rooted in Hermetic and occult traditions. In his youth, Smith participated in treasure-seeking expeditions using a divining rod, seer stones, and ritual circles. These tools and practices were drawn from the folk-magic culture of early America, which itself was saturated with ideas that had filtered down from Renaissance Hermeticism and alchemical traditions. The belief that hidden knowledge could be accessed through special instruments, secret formulas, and visionary techniques fits neatly within the Hermetic framework of unlocking the unseen world. When Smith later became a Mason in 1842, he layered these Hermetic practices with Masonic structures. Within weeks of his initiation, he introduced LDS temple ceremonies that bore striking resemblances to Masonic rituals, including secret handshakes, symbolic clothing, and oaths of secrecy. Just as Freemasonry framed its degrees as progressive revelations of hidden wisdom, so too did Smith present Mormon temple ordinances as the means by which believers gained access to the mysteries of exaltation. Doctrinally, Mormonism's teaching of eternal progression mirrors the Hermetic promise of apotheosis. God the Father is said to have been a man who became a god, and faithful men may follow the same path. This collapses the biblical distinction between Creator and creature and transforms salvation into a process of exaltation through hidden rites and teachings. The Mormon vision of countless gods presiding over countless worlds echoes the multiplicity of divine beings in Hermetic and Gnostic systems, while its temple ceremonies function as initiatory mysteries in which knowledge is revealed step by step.

Et si la qualité des données valait mieux que leur quantité ? C'est le pari audacieux que défend Rémi Daudin, directeur scientifique de Forvia, l'équipementier automobile né de la fusion de Faurecia et HELLA. Physicien de formation, passé par la physique des particules, l'industrie pétrolière et l'automobile, il porte un projet qui bouscule les fondements mêmes du développement des grands modèles de langage (LLM) : les entraîner sur les fonds des bibliothèques nationales plutôt que sur le web ouvert.« Les données du web, c'est de la soupe », résume-t-il sans détour. Publicités, opinions non sourcées, contenus dupliqués — les LLM actuels ingèrent en masse des informations de mauvaise qualité, ce qui les contraint à gonfler leurs paramètres pour absorber cette complexité. Résultat : des modèles lourds, coûteux, et potentiellement biaisés. « Si 10 % du corpus affirme que la Terre est plate, le modèle le répètera une fois sur dix », illustre-t-il. Sa solution ? Se tourner vers les bibliothèques. Un livre, contrairement à une page web, est un raisonnement construit, vérifié, légal. La Bibliothèque nationale de France, qui numérise ses collections depuis trente ans, compte dix millions d'œuvres. Selon Rémi Daudin, s'entraîner sur un tel corpus permettrait de produire des modèles 100 fois plus efficaces, plus petits, moins énergivores — et non biaisés.Le projet, baptisé Mirandola — en référence à Jean Pic de la Mirandole, l'humaniste italien qui aspirait à tout savoir — se veut aussi un acte de souveraineté culturelle. À l'heure où les algorithmes américains façonnent l'information mondiale, l'idée est de redonner à l'Europe la maîtrise de ses valeurs et de sa vérité. L'Académie française, la BNF et des décideurs politiques seraient déjà sensibles à la démarche. Encore en phase d'amorçage, Mirandola cherche ses partenaires techniques — possiblement un acteur européen du LLM — pour une première phase estimée entre six et douze mois. Hébergé par Acast.

Få filosofiska texter har ett så personligt tilltal och temperament. Torbjörn Elensky slår ett slag för renässansens manifest och dess upphovsman. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.I FN:s allmänna förklaring om de mänskliga rättigheterna står det: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, vilket på svenska översatts till Alla människor är födda fria och lika i värde och rättigheter. Ordet för värdighet har alltså översatts med värde. Spelar detta roll för hur vi pratar om människor och deras fri- och rättigheter? Är ett värde inte något annat än värdighet? Det förra är något man har i kraft av att bara vara människa. Mördaren och offret, civilisten och soldaten, det nyfödda barnet och 100-åringen har alla exakt samma, principiella människovärde. När något är så allmänt utbrett riskerar det att bli likgiltigt. Ditt värde kräver inget av mig. Värdigheten däremot är något som innebär ömsesidighet. Oavsett vem du är och vad du gjort kan du förtjäna att behandlas med värdighet. Men värdigheten är inget du har, det är något du gör, och jag, och vi tillsammans. Varför tycks det vara svårare på svenska att prata om människans värdighet än hennes värde? Beror det på att ordet låter föråldrat, att vi tänker oss att en värdig person är lite uppblåst, en farbror Blå med hatt och käpp? Eller beror just på att det kräver något av oss, att det snarare än en egenskap är en aktivitet?Det engelska dignity kommer från latinets dignitas. Från det kommer också orden dignitet, något som har en viss tyngd, och dignitär, högre tjänsteman, även denna med viss tyngd, i symbolisk mening naturligtvis. För romarna var dignitas både något man kunde inneha i kraft av sitt ämbete och ett inre värde i en person. Cicero använder det över tusen gånger i sina bevarade verk – vilket är hälften av samtliga förekomster av dignitas i romersk litteratur. Med kristendomen blev begreppet något för alla människor, som vi innehar i egenskap av att vara skapade efter Guds avbild. Dessutom användes det som beteckning på själens avspegling av treenigheten, för liksom den består av fadern, sonen och den helige ande, tre dignitates, värdigheter, i en Gud, består själen av tre värdigheter: intellekt, vilja och minne.Men den som gjorde värdighet till det begrepp det blivit idag var den italienske renässansfilosofen Pico della Mirandola. Han var 1400-talets filosofiska underbarn, vars ”Tal om människans värdighet” har kallats renässansens manifest. I det träder individen för första gången fram med alla sina rättigheter, anspråk och friheten som högsta värde och mål. Pico föddes 1463 i en furstlig familj och skickades som 14-åring för att studera juridik i Bologna. Men efter bara något år lämnade han universitetets begränsade miljö för att istället studera kabbala, judisk mystik. Han fortsatte till Florens där han läste Platon tillsammans med den några år äldre Marsilio Ficino, som höll på att översätta dialogerna till latin. På grund av sina språkkunskaper, filosofiska kommentarer och mångfacetterade lärdom betraktades ”Mirakelpojken” Pico redan som 22-åring som stor filosof och universalgeni. Men hans liv blev allt annat än en ordnad tillvaro vid något lärosäte. Efter en kort sväng till Paris, där Aristoteles fortfarande dominerade undervisningen, återvände han till Florens, rymde med en ung adelskvinna och åkte runt i Italien på flykt undan både rättvisan och pesten.Samtidigt med dessa äventyr fortsatte han med sina studier. Hans mål var att förena all kunskap han skaffat sig till ett enda system: inte bara europeisk filosofi, utan framför allt sådant som kyrkan förbjöd, som judisk mystik och arabiska tänkare. Han ansåg att eftersom sanningen är en, men spridd i flera olika traditioner, gällde det bara att kombinera dem för att förstå allt. När han var 24 år ville han ordna en konferens i Rom, där han skulle presentera sin syntes av all världens kunskap i 900 teser. Påven Innocentius VIII förklarade genast att 13 av teserna var kätterska och flera andra suspekta. Det var för mycket som utmanade kristendomen i Picos teorier. Dessutom ansågs han vara för ung för att kunna tas på allvar. Men han blev bara triggad av motståndet. Det var som svar på kyrkans förbud som han skrev det korta, kärnfulla och medryckande talet om människans värdighet. Inte heller det tilläts han framföra, men det trycktes och spreds och har fortsatt att inspirera ända sedan dess.Filosofin, skriver han i sitt tal, har lärt honom att lita på sitt eget samvete, inte på vad andra tycker. Han frågar: vad lönar det sig att bara läsa latinsk filosofi och utesluta grekerna och araberna, när allt från början kom från barbarerna? Det är en bildad och självsäker, utmanande 25-åring som talar, men också någon frustrerad av att inte bli tagen på allvar. Upprepat påpekar han att hans ungdom inte borde hållas emot honom, för han kan mer än de flesta andra. Få filosofiska texter från historien har ett sådant personligt tilltal och tydligt temperament som. Han är den ursprungliga förebilden för alltifrån revolutionärerna och poeterna under romantiken till James Dean i Ung rebell och rockens många frihetsälskande upprorsmakare.Människans värdighet bygger för Pico på hennes förmåga att välja sitt liv, något som skiljer henne från alla andra varelser. Djuren såväl som änglarna har i 1400-talets världsbild fasta egenskaper, i en orubblig hierarki som sträcker sig från de lägsta krypen hela vägen upp till Gud själv. De kan inte förändras. Människan däremot befinner sig i mitten av allt, utan några utmärkande egenskaper, men med intellekt och fri vilja. Människans värdighet består ytterst i hennes frihet.Pico är unik i det att han inte sätter det antika idealet främst, utan tar upp alla möjliga kunskapstraditioner. Han inleder sina 900 teser med att fastslå att han använder kaldeiska, arabiska, hebreiska, grekiska, egyptiska och latinska påståenden, utan inbördes rangordning, för att lägga ut texten, allmängiltigt och universellt, om dialektik, moral, matematik, metafysik, magi och kabbalism. När han i sitt tal säger att människan är fri att välja sig själv menar han det verkligen radikalt: sanningen tillhör inte någon viss tradition utan finns hos alla och är tillgänglig för alla.Det låter modernt. Men vi måste vara vaksamma. Det är alltid svårare än man tror att läsa historiska texter. Ord skiftar mening genom historien och vår vilja att spegla oss själva kan göra oss blinda för vad texten egentligen uttrycker. Pico della Mirandola var verkligen en renässansmänniska, med allt vad det innebär. Hans text är full av esoteriska referenser till magi, mystik och kabbalism som har lite med det vanliga, moderna livet att göra. Men ändå, vill jag påstå, återstår kärnan, och den är den mänskliga värdigheten: Här står en ung människa och vill bli tagen på allvar. Och är inte det vad den mänskliga värdigheten ytterst går ut på: att bli tagen på allvar, att bli lyssnad på, att bli respekterad. Och det är inte något man kan göra själv, utan något vi gör tillsammans för varandra.Torbjörn Elenskyförfattare och kritikerLitteraturOm människans värdighet, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, 1486, på svenska i övers. av Rolf Lindborg, Bokförlaget Atlantis 2012Magic and the Dignity of Man: Pico della Mirandola and His Oration in Modern Memory, Brian P.

Giulio Busi"Il cantico dell'umiltà"Vita di San FrancescoMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itIlletterato, sprovveduto, sognatore, Francesco d'Assisi è il «santo» per eccellenza. Ma è anche, nell'opinione comune, un personaggio fuori dalla storia, relegato nella sfera del misticismo e dell'utopia. Come mai, allora, la Chiesa decide di innalzarlo agli altari a soli due anni dalla morte, dopo un processo di canonizzazione tra i più brevi nella vicenda millenaria del cristianesimo? Francesco ribelle e antisistema o docile strumento nelle mani del potere ecclesiastico? Giulio Busi passa al vaglio le cronache dell'epoca, s'immerge nel mare sconfinato dell'agiografia, e poi dipinge un Francesco inedito, vigoroso, a tratti mite, più spesso provocatorio e intransigente. Quando è costretto, infatti, sa obbedire e accettare l'autorità. Ma è una scelta che gli costa, e da cui, ogni volta, riparte per inseguire la verità. Mentre attorno a lui la società scopre, e soffre, l'economia del mercato e del profitto, Francesco accoglie i lebbrosi, si unisce ai mendicanti, rivendica per sé un posto tra gli ultimi. Nei primi tempi, i benpensanti lo dileggiano, lo considerano un folle. Intanto, però, il suo carisma attrae sempre più seguaci. Nella primavera del 1212 Chiara d'Assisi, nobile per nascita, lascia i propri beni e la sontuosa casa paterna per seguire l'esempio di Francesco. È l'inizio di una consonanza spirituale che durerà tutta la vita. Ai «fratelli» che hanno cominciato a raccogliersi attorno al Poverello si aggiungono le «sorelle minori», ispirate da Chiara. Nel giro di pochi anni, il successo del movimento è travolgente. E i dubbi del fondatore diventano sempre più angosciosi. La Chiesa ha bisogno di un Ordine francescano forte, efficiente, solido. Ma lui riuscirà a difendere povertà e umiltà, a mantenere la semplicità delle origini? Al termine della sua esistenza, così breve e intensa, Francesco è malato, e deluso. Sembra sconfitto, ma nel momento più buio detta il Cantico di Frate Sole, splendido, gioioso inizio della letteratura italiana. Ringraziamento è l'esordio, inno la conclusione. Francesco lo sa, lo ha sempre saputo. La sorgente è una sola, un unico fine ha il creato. E ora il suo Cantico è libero di percorrere il vasto mondo. Che con lui se ne vada il dolore, assieme a lui si diffonda la lode.Giulio Busi (Bologna, 1960) è professore ordinario alla Freie Universität di Berlino e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio.

Fondata a Firenze nel 1462 da Marsilio Ficino, per incarico di Cosimo de Medici, nella Villa Medicea di Careggi. Era un cenacolo di filosofi, letterati e artisti e voleva significare la riapertura dell'antica accademia ateniese di Platone. Fra gli esponenti principali dell'accademia neoplatonica oltre alla stesso Ficino ci furono Pico della Mirandola, Poliziano, Nicola Cusano, Leon Battista Alberti, Cristoforo Landino,nonché i più importanti esponenti della famiglia de Medici, quali Giuliano de Medici, e Lorenzo il Magnifico. A questa scuola parteciparono anche gli intellettuali bizantini dopo la presa di Costantinopoli del 1453, arruolati come insegnanti, la cui presenza permise l'uso diretto dei testi di Platone, pressoché sconosciuti nel Medioevo che vennero tradotti in latino. Il rinnovato interesse per i classici, e per Platone in particolar modo, caratterizza la scuola neoplatonica e ne indirizza l'interesse per la pedagogia che mira a formare i giovani nella sua completezza mediante lo sviluppo armonico di tutte le doti umane, sia fisiche che spirituali, facendo di ciascun individuo un essere unico come un'opera d'arte.https://www.harmakisedizioni.it/prodotto/accademia-neoplatonica-arnaldo-della-torre/Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/l-antica-sapienza-egizia--3571682/support.

In this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron unpack the modern obsession with transhumanism, biohacking, and human optimization in light of Christian theology. Drawing on insights from Miroslav Volf and Renaissance thinker Pico della Mirandola, they explore why simply “being human” often feels insufficient in a secular age shaped by practical atheism. From AI hype to post-human ambitions, the discussion contrasts superficial technological efficiency with the biblical vision of fullness, meaning, and embodied life. For Christians wrestling with cultural trends that promise more control but deliver less soul, this is a timely conversation on what it truly means to be made in the image of God.TOPICSChristian view on transhumanismtheology of being humanbiohacking and ChristianityPractical atheism in cultureChristian response to AIimage of God theologyposthumanism and faithChristian critique of efficiency culturefullness of life in ChristChristian philosophy on modern techDONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Neste episódio, os professores Jerusa Garay e Danilo Gomes apresentam a fascinante trajetória de Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, um dos grandes representantes do Renascimento. Nascido em 1463, no norte da Itália, Pico destacou-se por sua ousadia intelectual e pelo desejo de unificar os diversos saberes da humanidade. Movido por uma busca incansável por conhecimento, percorreu cidades como Bolonha, Paris e Florença, reunindo ideias de diferentes tradições filosóficas e espirituais. Resultado dessa investigação profunda, elaborou 900 teses que propunham uma visão integradora do saber. Na introdução dessas teses, escreveu o célebre Discurso sobre a Dignidade do Homem, verdadeiro manifesto sobre a liberdade e o potencial do ser humano. Suas ideias provocaram a Igreja, e Pico chegou a ser ameaçado pela Inquisição, sendo salvo por Lorenzo de Medici. De volta a Florença, vive até sua morte precoce, aos 31 anos, deixando um legado humanista grandioso. A partir de sua vida e obra, este episódio convida à reflexão sobre quem somos e qual o sentido de nossa existência, inspirando-nos a buscar, com coragem e generosidade, uma visão mais ampla e unificada do conhecimento.

Magus: The Art of Magic from Faustus to Agrippa (Harvard UP, 2023) is a revelatory new account of the magus―the learned magician―and his place in the intellectual, social, and cultural world of Renaissance Europe. In literary legend, Faustus is the quintessential occult personality of early modern Europe. The historical Faustus, however, was something quite different: a magus―a learned magician fully embedded in the scholarly currents and public life of the Renaissance. And he was hardly the only one. Anthony Grafton argues that the magus in sixteenth-century Europe was a distinctive intellectual type, both different from and indebted to medieval counterparts as well as contemporaries like the engineer, the artist, the Christian humanist, and the religious reformer. Alongside these better-known figures, the magus had a transformative impact on his social world. Magus details the arts and experiences of learned magicians including Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Johannes Trithemius, and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Grafton explores their methods, the knowledge they produced, the services they provided, and the overlapping political and social milieus to which they aspired―often, the circles of kings and princes. During the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, these erudite men anchored debates about licit and illicit magic, the divine and the diabolical, and the nature of “good” and “bad” magicians. Over time, they turned magic into a complex art, which drew on contemporary engineering as well as classical astrology, probed the limits of what was acceptable in a changing society, and promised new ways to explore the self and exploit the cosmos. Resituating the magus in the social, cultural, and intellectual order of Renaissance Europe, Grafton sheds new light on both the recesses of the learned magician's mind and the many worlds he inhabited.

This week Jeff and Dave are back in the studio to discuss the leading light of early fourth-century Christian rhetoric. 'No whey', you say? Yes, it's true. The guys again take a look at the North African rhetorical tradition that produced such greats of Christian apologetics as Minucius Felix, Tertullian, Cyprian of Carthage, and Arnobius of Sicca. What should we make of Lactantius' accomplishment? Is he really the crème de la crème, or merely pushed forward by inevitable social forces, not an instance of the 'great man theory'? And what about his rhetorical feats in the grisly Deaths of the Persecutors, Divine Institutes, God's Workmanship, and more? Was Pico della Mirandola correct that Lactantius "equalled Cicero, or maybe even surpassed him in eloquence"? Come along for the ride as we wrap up this two-parter on the man who was well suited to his times, interacting with the cabbage-loving Diocletian, a host of enemies of the Christian faith, and even the big guy, Constantine.

Giuseppe Vettori"Persona e Pluralismo"Leo S. Olschki Editorewww.olschki.itNella Chiesa di San Marco a Firenze, sono raccolte le spoglie di alcuni dei più grandi uomini che nel corso di 500 anni hanno dedicato opere e parole decisive sul valore della Persona. Nel testo se ne ricorda due: Pico della Mirandola e Giorgio La Pira. Il primo, nella sua Orazione sulla dignità dell'uomo, esalta la visione di un uomo collocato “al centro del mondo”, “né celeste né terreno, né mortale né immortale”, “investito dell'onore di decidere liberamente”. Nel 1944 il secondo, durante la fuga per sottrarsi a un ordine di cattura della polizia fascista, inizia una riflessione sulla condizione dell'uomo del suo tempo, muovendo da una Weltanschauung capace di dare risposta agli interrogativi sui problemi essenziali della realtà e della Storia. Da quelle radici nasce l'idea di Persona, da affermare, oggi, come fonte e sintesi dei criteri di valutazione dell'umano. Senza alcun rilievo giusnaturalistico e senza alcuna riduzione identitaria, ma con una tecnica basata su un'oggettività ideale e giuridica espressa da due fattori: il Pluralismo, sociale e politico, e un'azione ordinante della dimensione sempre nuova dell'esistenza.Giuseppe Vettori è professore emerito dell'Università di Firenze. Ha fondato nel 1995, la collana “Persona e mercato” ed è direttore dell'omonima rivista. I suoi studi sulla Persona, il Contratto, l'Efficacia, l'Opponibilità, i Rimedi sono confluiti in lavori monografici tra i quali si segnala, da ultimo, Effettività tra legge e diritto (2020). Un'attenzione particolare è stata dedicata al diritto europeo nei volumi Diritto dei contratti e “Costituzione” europea (2005) e Diritto privato e ordinamento comunitario (2009). Tra il 2011 e il 2015 è stato coordinatore del Dottorato di Diritto Privato Europeo promosso dall'Università degli Studi di Firenze e dall'Istituto Italiano di Scienze Umane (SUM), ora Scuola Normale Superiore.

Giulio Busi"Giovanni. Il discepolo che Gesù amava"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itIl Vangelo di Giovanni è il più colto dei Vangeli ma anche il meno affidabile dal punto di vista storico. È questa un'opinione antica, diffusa, tenace. Ed è però un'opinione profondamente falsa.Al di là degli stereotipi che durano da circa due millenni, Giulio Busi porta alla luce un altro Giovanni: un evangelista calato nella vita di Gerusalemme, che conosce come le proprie tasche i meandri della città santa, è esperto delle usanze e delle consuetudini ebraiche, e possiede i dettagli minuti della giurisprudenza d'Israele.Giovanni non è solo fonte storica di prim'ordine. È fuoco mistico, e polemica intransigente. Il suo Vangelo ruota attorno al «discepolo che Gesù amava», presentato come testimone oculare dei momenti salienti della vita, morte e resurrezione di Gesù. È lui, Giovanni, questo discepolo senza nome?Per scoprirlo, occorre spostarsi dalla Terra d'Israele in Asia Minore, a Efeso, una metropoli opulenta di traffici, che pullula di idee e di fermenti. Qui risiede «l'Anziano», come lo chiamano i fedeli, che si raccolgono per sentirlo parlare e ne rimangono ammaliati. Solo lui, infatti, sa raccontare in quel modo, con quel tono. Perché, tra i vecchi della comunità, solo lui ha conosciuto e toccato con mano Gesù.Ora Gerusalemme è lontana, scomparsa oltre il mare, le colline. Affondata tra i lutti. Il Tempio distrutto, i sacerdoti dispersi, il culto interrotto. Anche Giovanni se n'è andato, ha lasciato la città santa. Ma i ricordi, quelli non se ne vanno facilmente. È come se Gesù gli fosse ancora accanto e i suoi occhi inimitabili continuassero a fissarlo con severità e, insieme, con dolcezza.Austero e mansueto nello stesso sguardo, implacabile e amoroso in un'unica parola, così era il Maestro. E così Giovanni cerca di descriverlo, con la voce che un po' gli trema, per la vecchiaia e per l'emozione. Dai suoi ricordi, dalle sue esperienze e dalla sua straordinaria creatività teologica nasce il Vangelo che, più di ogni altro, apre la strada verso il mistero di Gesù.Giulio Busi è professore ordinario alla Freie Universität di Berlino e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio.

Saverio Campanini"Cabbalisti cristiani"Gershom ScholemAdelphiwww.adelphi.itTre saggi acuminati che illustrano il fascino esercitato dalla Qabbalah sui lettori cristiani d'ogni tempo.A cura, e con un saggio, di Saverio Campanini.Che la Qabbalah sprigioni un fascino difficilmente spiegabile è fuori di dubbio: chiunque entri in contatto con essa si sente interpellato, come se quelle oscure dottrine non aspettassero altri per sciogliere gli antichi nodi dell'irradiazione divina. Un fascino cui non hanno potuto sottrarsi molti lettori cristiani – da Giovanni Pico della Mirandola ai platonici rinascimentali, da Knorr von Rosenroth a Isaac Newton, dagli alchimisti ai «fratelli muratori» –, che con i dogmi segreti della mistica ebraica hanno avvertito una profonda affinità. Massimo studioso della Qabbalah, Gershom Scholem non ha mancato di dire la sua su questa robusta corrente del pensiero europeo. Persuaso com'era che la Qabbalah fosse la quintessenza dell'ebraismo, Scholem ha tentato di denunciare la sua versione cristiana come illegittima, frutto di un malinteso o di una frode, giungendo tuttavia a riconoscere, alla fine della vita, che la passione per quegli insegnamenti esoterici era stata accesa in lui proprio dalla lettura di un cabbalista cristiano. E così, nei tre illuminanti saggi qui raccolti, non solo troveremo una storia di quel pensiero sotterraneo, ma potremo anche scorgere in filigrana una riluttante autobiografia.Gershom Scholem (1897-1982) è una delle massime figure nel campo degli studi ebraici, in particolare della mistica, in cui ha tracciato nuovi percorsi di ricerca. Oltre che autore di opere fondamentali sulla Cabbalà, è stato docente universitario e ha svolto un'intensa attività di conferenziere.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

¡Llega la quinta temporada! En el episodio de hoy, exploramos la fascinante vida de Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, uno de los filósofos más emblemáticos del Renacimiento italiano. Nacido en 1463 en Mirandola, Italia, Pico provenía de una noble familia que le brindó una educación esmerada en latín, griego y filosofía clásica. Pico es célebre por su obra "Discurso sobre la dignidad del hombre", una defensa apasionada del potencial humano y la libertad intelectual, que se convirtió en un hito del humanismo renacentista. Además de su legado filosófico, la vida personal de Pico estuvo marcada por profundas amistades con figuras como el poeta Angelo Poliziano, relaciones que muchos historiadores interpretan como indicativas de su homosexualidad, y lo demás, está dentro, así que ha escucharlo y a compartirlo!

Elena Bosi"Mio padre è nato per i piedi"Neri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itL'affascinante affresco di una famiglia e di un'intera comunità raccontata con un tono allegro e solo in apparenza leggero, che nasconde storie di grande solitudine.A tre anni, Giulia è una bambina spigliata, autonoma, sempre con la risposta pronta. Forse anche perché la nonna ha l'abitudine di servirle un caffellatte ogni mattina, salvo poi lamentarsi di quanto sia nervosa. Però, visto che abita a Concordia sulla Secchia, un paesino in provincia di Modena, Giulia è anche una bambina che a tre anni può andarsene in giro da sola sul suo triciclo – l'importante è che non esca mai dai portici – fingendo di fare acquisti nei negozi e cantando Bandiera rossa, come le hanno insegnato gli anziani clienti della pasticceria di famiglia. È con loro che Giulia è cresciuta: nonni, zii, zie, vicini di casa e di bottega, parenti acquisiti, passanti, ragazze, mamme, vecchi e commercianti, tutti personaggi di un microcosmo bizzarro e meraviglioso, memorabile. Dal nonno che ha perso un polmone in una tempesta di sabbia durante la guerra alla zia suora che ipnotizza i topi; dal dottor Francesco, dentista che sa curare tutti i mali, alla libraia Arpalice che non vende libri ma manda i clienti in biblioteca; da Lina, una cliente con la fissa delle zucche, alla zia Tilde, capace di riconoscere le donne incinte dal collo. Un mondo che Giulia descrive con tono allegro e solo in apparenza leggero, perché l'ironia e il brio di chi la circonda sono spesso un modo per esorcizzare la malinconia e la solitudine. Una solitudine a cui ogni personaggio risponde a modo suo: chi confidandosi con la luna, chi cercando presagi felici nei sogni propri e altrui, chi con una battuta, una fuga o una grande abbuffata.Con Mio padre è nato per i piedi Elena Bosi, «la figlia dei portici», crea così l'affresco di una famiglia e di un'intera comunità, un romanzo corale che ci restituisce un mondo sorprendente e poetico che forse sta scomparendo.Mia mamma è convinta che nella data e nell'ora di nascita, e nel modo in cui si svolge il parto, sia già racchiuso il destino della persona. Mio padre è nato per i piedi. Parto podalico, si dice adesso. «Nascono tutti per la testa» dice mia mamma, «lui no, lui doveva nascere per i piedi». «Certo!» risponde mio padre. «A fare come gli altri si fa sempre in tempo». «Ma come ho fatto a sposarlo?» mi chiede mia mamma. «Dimmelo te, come ho fatto?»«Ho letto Mio padre è nato per i piedi mentre Elena Bosi lo scriveva, un capitolo dopo l'altro, e l'ho sentita che mi chiedeva, e si chiedeva, perché lo stava scrivendo, e il modo in cui, alla fine, se ne è accorta, il modo in cui ha trovato questo perché è una cosa che, ancora adesso, è passato un anno e mezzo, mi commuove».Paolo NoriElena Bosi è nata nel 1978 a Mirandola e vive a Mirandola ma è di Concordia, dove è cresciuta. Traduce, insegna e scrive. Mio padre è nato per i piedi è il suo primo romanzo. IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult

What is Qabalah? This is a scholarly exploration of Hermetic Qabalah, an esoteric tradition steeped in history and rich in spiritual practice. This detailed video presentation covers the evolution of Hermetic Qabalah from its origins in ancient Jewish mysticism through its adaptation in Christian and Renaissance thought to its pivotal role in contemporary Western esotericism. We start by defining Hermetic Qabalah and distinguishing it from Jewish Kabbalah and Christian Cabala, highlighting the unique blend of mysticism, philosophy, and theology that characterizes each form. Discover how figures like Giovanni Pico della Mirandola influenced the Christian reinterpretation of Kabbalistic ideas and how these ideas permeated Renaissance thought. The video further delves into the core structure of the Tree of Life, explaining its symbolic representation of the universe's spiritual and material aspects. Learn about the sefirot, the paths that connect them, and their implications for personal and spiritual development. We will also cover primary texts like the Zohar and Sepher Yetzirah, their historical significance, and their roles in the practice of Qabalah. Additionally, we explore the modern application of Hermetic Qabalah in traditions such as Thelema and its integration into practices like modern Witchcraft and the Golden Dawn system.

Raphael Ebgi"Sette"Le avventure di un simboloLe Edizioni del Mulinowww.mulino.itLa promessa di un sapere senza confini.La mente umana incontra il sette quando si spinge in luoghi di meraviglia. Quando riflette sugli abissi del male, o sulle altezze, ben più difficili, del bene. Quando deve dare ordine alla musica dell'universo, o quando prova a immaginare, a occhi aperti, una via che conduca fuori dal mondo. O quando, infine, deve pensare l'inizio e la fine di tutto, come insegna il libro dei libri, la Bibbia, che crea il mondo in sette giorni. Raccontare la storia del sette significa avventurarsi in spazi in cui i numeri si trasformano in divinità, in elementi della natura, nella materia dei sogni e in speranze di pace. Una storia solo apparentemente lontana, perché il mistero del sette non ha mai smesso di affascinarci, e continua a riaffiorare fra le trame della nostra vita.Raphael Ebgi insegna Storia della Filosofia all'Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele di Milano.

Giulio Busi"Gesù il re ribelle"Una storia ebraicaMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itChi è, veramente, Gesù? Sappiamo cosa è diventato dopo la sua morte, in duemila anni di fede cristiana. Ma come lo considerano i contemporanei? Cosa pensano quando lo ascoltano parlare e mentre lo vedono agire?Poco prima della fine, egli pronuncia su di sé parole enigmatiche: «Io so da dove vengo, e dove vado. Voi, invece, non sapete da dove vengo e dove vado» (Gv 8,14). Può questo messaggio di un «re» ebreo illuminare anche l'origine e la meta della nostra vita?Attraverso un fitto e appassionato dialogo con i Vangeli, Giulio Busi traccia il profilo di un Gesù ribelle, assai diverso dall'immagine del buon pastore, mite e mansueto, trasmessa da gran parte della tradizione cristiana. È il Gesù della polemica e dell'invettiva. E, insieme, il Gesù visionario che sovverte e trascende ogni limite di spazio e di tempo, in continuo movimento tra il «qui» della sofferenza e della sopraffazione e il «là» della pace e della vita spirituale.A delinearsi con chiarezza in queste pagine è, in particolare, una «storia ebraica» del maestro di Nazaret. Per lui, infatti, gli ebrei non sono mai «loro» ma «noi». E se la sua ribellione s'indirizza anche contro l'élite religiosa giudaica, è pur sempre la ribellione di un ebreo, orgoglioso della propria appartenenza, che sa interpretare la Torah in modo straordinariamente raffinato, eppure libero, nuovo, creativo.Alla fine, Gesù è un re proscritto, su cui pende un ordine di arresto. Un rabbi itinerante braccato e costretto a nascondersi. Quando sale a Gerusalemme per l'ultima Pasqua, sa che verrà tradito, catturato, percosso, ucciso. I suoi si sbandano, rinnegano. Solo un gruppo di donne non lo lascia nell'ora più oscura. E soltanto una donna cerca il proprio maestro e per prima lo trova, all'alba, in un giardino, al di là della morte.Il giudaismo ha rifiutato il regno senza potere impersonato da Gesù. Il cristianesimo ha trasformato la missione errante dei primi discepoli ebrei, senza famiglia e senza averi, senza bagaglio e senza armi, in una realtà solida, ben costruita, capace di durare per millenni. Ma la ribellione di Gesù ancora continua.Giulio Busi è professore ordinario alla Freie Universität di Berlino e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio. Ha scritto di mistica ebraica, di storia rinascimentale, della filosofia di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Collaboratore di lungo corso delle pagine culturali del «Sole – 24 Ore», ha uno stile letterario inconfondibile, incalzante e, al tempo stesso, documentatissimo.

Along with this, we discuss humanism in the fifteenth century, looking at how various thinkers valued education and classical literature in order to argue for peace and the importance of the common person. We discuss one of the first feminist authors, Christine de Pizan, the somewhat crazy Pico della Mirandola, the great thinkers Erasmus and Sir Thomas More, and conclude with Montaigne. Humanism brings up many great questions, such as the importance of pacifism, how we can bring together all forms of knowledge to find the truth, and monarchy being the best form of government.  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

Using as his palette the monarchy of Elizabeth I, the Jesuits, quantum physics, the campaign against mammonism and capitalism, the Protestant-Catholic wars of religion, Shakespeare and Marlowe, the British Secret Service and the occult from John Dee to Pico della Mirandola, Hoffman illustrates the meaning and function of revisionist history in its indispensable service to the expansion of human knowledge.

This week Jeff and Dave take a sustained look at an-oft discussed but ill-defined notion: what, if anything, gives people dignity? Drawing on the work of famous, late scholar Charles Trinkaus (The Scope of Renaissance Humanism), the guys trace this notion from Cicero through the Greek and Latin fathers and into the trecento. Thanks to the diligent spadery of Chuck T., you'll enjoy a who's who of what's what when it comes to key themes and ideas surrounding what separates man (and woman) from animal, the noble brute. In the end it all comes down to Petrarch, Ficino, Mirandola, and Peter 'Et' Cetera of Chicago fame. The jinx here may be lower than normal, but the substance is swole. Don't miss it!

Filósofo Renascentista, humanista, eclético, PICO DELLA MIRANDOLA desde a infância impressionava por seus dotes intelectuais que incluíam uma extraordinária memória e dons artísticos muito desenvolvidos.  Em sua breve vida - morreu aos 31 anos de idade - contribuiu de forma importante para essa grande virada cultural que foi o Renascimento. A professora e voluntária de Nova Acrópole Ana Cristina Machado nos fala brevemente sobre Pico Della Mirandola em 2022, em nosso estúdio em Brasília. Dúvidas?
