Epistemologia

The book contains different essays in honor of Vincenzo Fano, for his 60th birthday. They address several foundational issues in the philosophy and metaphysics of science, epistemology, history of science and philosophy, and the relation between philosophy, science, and art. The crucial aspect of the book is the constant dialogue between different forms of knowledge: from science to art, from philosophy to philology, from the classics to contemporary research. This also reflects the breadth of Fano’s philosophical research.

Starting from the Thirties, Italy has been one of the leading countries in the development of physics. Gino Tarozzi has long been and still is one of the best Italian scholars in the field. The present volume collects several valuable contributions touching upon different philosophical problems, such as entanglement, realism, causality, quantum logic... In the occasion of Tarozzi’s 60th birthday many distinguished scholars, which collaborate with him, evaluate and discuss these topics.

La figura di Donald Davidson (1917-2003), uno dei pensatori più influenti e discussi del panorama filosofico contemporaneo. Il volume si concentra sulle tesi epistemologiche che, a partire dagli anni ’80, hanno assunto un ruolo sempre più importante nel corpus del lavoro davidsoniano. In particolare, viene indagata la teoria della “triangolazione”, attraverso la quale Davidson intende dimostrare come il pensiero e la conoscenza siano possibili solo in uno spazio sociale e interpretativo.
