Whats The Best Hard Drive Upgrade For A 20 Gb Ps3

The thesis is entitled: HUMAN RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE (2009)

HUMAN RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE Valerio Toldonato (Maturity 2009, Liceo classico Alfieri, Asti)

Since its appearance on Earth, man had to constantly interact with their surroundings: lots of early hominids, which considered the result of natural phenomena the action of divine forces to appease them by unknown with rituals and sacrifices, as the exponents of the highest philosophy have all tried to understand what the role of man in the world in which - to use an expression borrowed existentialism - is to be thrown.
The different interpretations of this question by poets, artists and philosophers of every age have given rise to various perceptions, ranging from the conception of a benign nature, capable of entering into sympathetic resonance with the human passions, and one of a kind evil, interested only in their collective survival at the expense of the lives of individuals. Between these two poles you can find many other interpretations, such as brown or pampsichismo organicism purposive and immanence Schelling, to name a few.

In order to consider any of the authors of works concerning this issue, we find first, beginning with those wanting to enter into peaceful coexistence with nature, the Alexandrian poet Theocritus. Born in Syracuse around 315 a. C. and died in Alexandria at the court of King Ptolemy II Philadelphus, he was the spokesman for a less doctrinaire than Hellenism of Callimachus and Apollonius of Rhodes, but, because of this moderation, more worthy of literary fortune. However, even as a poet Theocritus is configured product: he pioneered the use hexameter, a harbinger of combative energy epics, as a signifier of a post opposite, in fact, are expressed in hexameter poets pastors describing the campaign as a locus amoenus in which they are perfectly integrated. In this, the author does not exempt the use of a certain irony in respect of the characters: it arises from the discrepancy created between the realism with which feature the shepherds and the poetic skills that they flaunt.
a text that would suggest the above mentioned is the seventh idyll: in Talise, the character of Simichida, narrator of the story and alter-ego of Theocritus himself, received from the goatherd Licid, famous for the sweetness of the song, his staff in recognition of poetic skill and resumed the journey to the venue, which the poet provides a description of the warm colors, typical of summer Arcadian. In this work we present the concluding lines.


So I said, and he
, smiling sweetly,
as before, the staff gave me, which
hospitable gift of the Muses
and turn left, went on the road to
Pissa and we, started
eucrites, the bell'Amíntico and myself from
Frasidàmo on soft couches with soft mastic

we sit and just-picked grape leaves
with great enjoyment. About Us
vigorously shook
a dense forest of elms and poplars nearby and gushing, gurgling from the antrum
Nymph's
the sacred spring and the shady branches
rush to the cicadas scream
blackened by the sun.
away from the frog croaking by thorns
thick of thorns.
singing larks and finches, doves
groaned and flew around the golden bees
at the sources. Everything smelled of fat
summer, the smell of harvest.
Pears rolled at our feet,
apples on our backs, plenty
and branches under the weight of the plums came
bent to the ground. From the head of the pitchers

melted the seals pitch four years.
Nymphs of Castalia, Dweller
of steep Parnassus, Chiron
ever put such a crater in the old Hercules
in the cave of Pholus, full of stones? Perhaps at the
Anapo Polyphemus
the strongman who struck pastor
ships with the mountains, in the den
was persuaded to dance by this nectar, which
, nymphs, you did result
to drink at the altar of Demeter,
Protecting the Hague? On his pile
can I plant a big fan is
and the goddess
laugh with his hands full of sheaves of wheat and poppies.
(Idylls, VII, 130-157)

From the poetry of Theocritus builds on the first production of Virgil. The the Latin poet singer composed of Aeneas in fact referring to the model of the Eclogues Idylls of the Syracusan poet. The work in question sensitivity stems from the deep interior of Virgil: he attends to the violence of civil wars, from which consolidated the power goes out progressively more despotic Emperor Augustus, at the court of which Virgil is accepted for propaganda purposes: the 'Haud Mollia IUSS "Maecenas have In fact, the Georgics origin. The Eclogues, however, are composed spontaneously. In line with the λάθε βιώσας Epicureanism, they are a refuge from reality: all'infuriare of civil war and the expropriation of land, Virgil contrasts a locus amoenus peaceful and secure that can afford to alienate, at least in thought, from disorder the outside world. Although he has found inspiration for some places, the Latin poet teocriteo deviates from the model, as pointed out by Bruno Snell. The shepherds of Virgil idealized characters are in fact very far from reality, pure as their songs: this is determined by the desire to move away from reality. The German philologist noted that precisely these 'pastors are so far from the true rural life because from that city's finest, "as well as their modes of expression are incomparable to the dispute between Eumaeus and Melanzio Odyssey. Also missing in the Eclogues the element of irony, which takes over in place of a tragic pathos of ancestry: despite the initially intended purpose, the author does not manages to keep away from the melancholy arising Eclogues the bitter political situation prevailing in the state. The insecurity of land holdings Melibeus, threatened by expropriations, reflects that of Virgil. Another difference between the two authors lies in the types of landscape described: Theocritus and is fascinated by the warm places Arcadian, Virgil sings an Arcadia-like in their hometowns: Cisalpine Gaul vanished in the "golden haze of distance" (B. Snell ): sad these places are just a mirror of a soul just as sad as that of the poet. Here's an example.

MelibeoFortunato old! So will your fields, and large enough for you, although the bare pietrae the muddy swamp with reeds invade all pascoli.Non strongly affect pregnant sheep grazing unusual or contamination of a nearby herd will danno.Fortunato old, known here among the sacred river will enjoy the cool shade of sources Here on the border near the fence forever, sucked into its flowers by bees Iblean willow, often with slight whisper invite you to fall asleep; of below a high cliff singing the air the trimmer, and meanwhile the roche doves, your love, and the plane dove elm will not stop moaning.

(Eclogues, eclogue I, vv. 46-57)

A more radical adherence to Epicurean thought is that of Lucretius: He puts this philosophy to the base of his rationalism. De rerum natura in the title contains a strong destructive of all those beliefs that have clouded the minds of men by making them believe whatever their excessive and instilling fear in life. The poem Lucretius then have a very high level of risk for those in power, both in Roman society, both in the Middle Ages: for this reason he was so often censored. In his work of revelation of the true nature of things, Lucretius uses a prophetic tone, and this aspect is very interesting: he is therefore to define it with an almost oxymoronic, the true prophet.





O miserable minds of men, spirits or blind!
How dark existence and great dangers
between what we spend this short life!

(De rerum natura, II, vv. 14-16)

Lucretius puts great emphasis on the importance of Epicurus, reserving several accolades during decanting of the poem and as the discoverer of the true benefactor of mankind: Lucretius himself acknowledges In fact, the greek philosopher authorship of the doctrine set forth in the poem.

When human life lay before her eyes shamefully

on earth crushed under the heavy religion

that protruded from the head regions of the sky

looming on men with horrible looks,

first a greek man dared to raise against

mortal eyes and against the first object, and not

The curb the fame of the

nor lightning nor the sky with the threatening murmur, but this is more stimulating

the burning power of the spirit, wanting to

first to break the tight nature of the doors ironmongery .

So prevailed lively soul force, and advanced long

beyond the walls inflamed universe

and traveled with the reason and the mind the vast universe, which

, victorious, shows us what can be born,

what can not, then why has everything

a law adopted and a limit fixed deeply.

So religion put under your feet in turn

is trampled, victory equals us to heaven.

(De rerum natura, I, vv. 62-79)


Now the truth is finally revealed to the human eye, superstition and religion has ceased to deceive. Unfortunately, the discovery of the true nature of things brings with it great bitterness: it comes to the sad conclusion as true and palpable that the world was not created for man, who to live within it must adapt by using his reason, while other creatures are at their wildest comfortable for natural constitution.


And even do not know what the first elements of things,

dare say this, however, according to the same phenomena

proof of heaven and under many other things:

that the nature of the world was not at all willing

by divine will for us, so it has a big flaw.

First place, as it covers the wide expanse of the sky,

a large part is occupied by mountains and forests

domain of wild animals, possess the cliffs and deserted

marshes and the sea that large banks of land separating the .

addition, almost two thirds

the scorching heat and freezing them out of the regular fall to mortals.

What remains of farmland, nature with its strength

the cover of brambles, however, if you do not resist the force of man,

accustomed to the needs of life to wail on the robust

hoe and plow the land, driving them at the bottom of the plow.

If, with the ploughshare turning the fruitful glebe and wonder

the soil of the land, not stimulate them to be born,

plants could not arise spontaneously in pure air;

and yet, at times, procured with great difficulty, when

already leafed through the fields and all thrive,

or burns with excessive sun heats the ethereal

or destroy the sudden rains and cold brine,

and devastated by violent the blowing of the wind turbines.

And then the hideous race of wild beasts,

enemy of mankind, because the nature on land and sea

and increases the power? Why do the seasons bring

diseases? Because the sudden death wanders here and there?

And also, the child, as a sailor on shore threw

by raging waves, lies naked on the floor, unable to speak,

in need of any help to live, just the nature him out

with efforts outside of the womb to the shores of light,

and fills the place of a mournful cry, as it should

for a life that must go through many evils. But growing

various domestic animals, the cattle and wild beasts, or

need rattles, no need for

the babbling voice of the loving and affectionate nurse,

or they require different capacities according to the seasons;

Finally, do not need weapons or high walls,

to protect their assets, since for all

widely throughout the earth itself produce and nature artist.

(De rerum natura, V, vv. 195-234)

This interpretation of the nature and the fact that the poem ends with a tragic event such as the plague of Athens leave no doubt pessimism about Lucretius.

These two Latin authors of the first century BC, are the founders of two strands in the opposite direction crossing the literature of all time: the concept of a nature indifferent to human needs has enormous importance in the work of Giacomo Leopardi (whose will later), that of nature as a refuge of the poet who rejects the reality is at the base of the poetics of Giovanni Pascoli. An important fact which puts it rightly in the footsteps of the Virgilian tradition is the fact that his first collection of poems, Myricae, takes its name from a term that you encounter in one of the first verses of the Fourth Bucolica .
Pascoli lives a life troubled by many family losses, the most serious of which is the death of his father 10 August 1867, when the poet was only twelve years. This childhood trauma stops the growth of pastures in many aspects of social life, making it impossible to achieve milestones such as marriage and removal from her sister Mary, known affectionately Mariù, with whom spend their whole life. This closure of the poet in his family is expressed in more intimate poetry through the concept of the "nest." His poetry also addresses the theme of the young child, on the theory that each person also retains his old adult and child sensitivity. For this reason, the poet is also visionary: through a childhood vision of reality, he is able to grasp issues invisible to those who will listen to the young child. Pastures look candidly describes the nature and specific terms and even onomatopoeia, while managing to keep a record high. Through language, which creates its own symbolism, as is evident in the poem The night jasmine, in which descriptions of flowers, fruits and other natural elements that allude to the sexual act, a reality which the poet looks at a certain distance , index of the inner turmoil experienced by Pascoli.

The Night Jasmine (from Canti di Castelvecchio)

E the flowers were opened at night,

hour you think of 'my dear.

have surfaced in the midst of the viburnum

crepuscular butterflies.
one piece is the silent cry:

alone a house whispers.

Under the wings sleeping nests,

as the eyes under the eyelids. Have you opened
glasses

exhales the smell of strawberries.

shines a light into the room beyond.

born the grass over the graves.
bee whispers late

cells are already taken.

Chioccetta The Hague for the blue

goes with his peep of stars.
All night s'esala

the smell that goes with the wind.

Switch the light on the stairs;

shines on the first floor is off. . .
is dawn close the petals

a little crumpled,

are hatching inside the ballot box springs and secret

something new happiness.


Looking at a pessimistic vein, we arrive in Italian literature at Giacomo Leopardi in Recanati was born in 1798, lived as a child undergoing rigorous education on the part of the family, to the point of defining his father's house hostel, and living a love-hate relationship with the study. Leopardi has always maintained a pessimistic conception of reality, at first mitigated by the idea of \u200b\u200ba benign nature that, through the illusions, the man concealed the 'horrible truth. " Leopardi also belongs to the first concept of historical pessimism: the men, throughout history, have wandered from the path that the benign nature drew them to limit their suffering: this is why the ancients were happier and stronger physically, simply because were more deluded. Later, the poet arrives at the stage of the famous cosmic pessimism: the nature no longer operates for the benefit of its creatures, according to a teleological conception, but is merely an institution ruled by mechanical laws to which imports only the survival of the world, according to a mechanistic and materialistic. We find these ideas expressed in some verses of the Great Operettas romances, and especially in moral, one of which, The Dialogue of Nature and an Icelander, directly addresses the problem. Icelander to pressing questions, Nature responds by referring to the mechanistic theories mentioned above.

Nature. Perhaps you imagined that the world was made because of you? We now know that the invoices, orders and operations of mine, trattone very few, and I always had the intention to anything but happiness men or unhappiness. When I offended you in any way and at half what it is, I do not n'avveggo me, if not very rarely: as, ordinarily, if I pleasure or benefit you, I do not know, and I did not, as you think you, as these things or not such actions those f or, for pleasure or benefit you. And finally, if I happen to pay off your whole species, I will not avvedrei.

(Dialogue of Nature and an Icelander)

O nature, nature, why do you

what they promise? Why do you so deceive your children
?

(Silvia, vv. 36-39)


But why give to the sun,

Why stand in life

Who then be consoled for?

If life is misery,

Why are we last?

Intact moon, such

E 'mortal state.

But you're not mortal,

And maybe you say the least of my hauls.


(Night Song of a Wandering Shepherd in Asia, vv. 53-60)

It 's interesting to compare the night song of a wandering shepherd Asia with the second Idyll of Theocritus, for while the protagonist of This Simet, imagine a participation of the moon to its magical rituals (in fact occurs the refrain in the poem "Do you think from where it started my love, Moon God"), the protagonist of that, the wandering shepherd, includes the strangeness of the moon - as a synecdoche of all nature - to human affairs.

O courteous nature,

Are these your gifts,

These are the delights

Whether you incline to mortals.

Get out of pain

E 'beloved among us.

Pene you scatter with lavish hand, and the grief

Volunteer rises: and pleasure, as much

that to show and sometimes

miracle born of pain, is much gain. Human

dear offspring to the eternal! very happy

If you breathe lice

On any grief: Blessed

If any of you heal painful death.

(The calm after the storm, vv. 42-54)





Similar to Giacomo Leopardi's thought is that of Arthur Schopenhauer: for both, life is a "pendulum between boredom and pain "and any pleasure derived by the termination of a previous pain (pleasure son of breathlessness). The philosopher
Danzig believes that every living creature, then the whole world, and objectification of the intention of the will We Live (Wille zum Leben), a self-preservation instinct, the irrational impulse (for the intention of this feature, some saw in it an antecedent of the Freudian unconscious) that Schopenhauer believes it is nothing but the thing itself , as sought by Kant as the idealists mortified. It is not unattainable and the only way to reach it is the noumenal autointuizione that it gives us our body: in fact the man is not a 'winged angel's head without a body. " Access to the thing in itself allows us to pierce the veil of Maya (a term that derives from Eastern philosophies, which Schopenhauer admired), ie the representation. And it is on dichotomy between desire and representation that is made all Schopenhauer's philosophy. While the first phenomenon in Kant enjoyed a certain importance because, as the noumenon of reach, sensory experience was the only man who could feel, now in Schopenhauer has finally managed to overcome the veil of representation in achieving it itself. However, this is a bitter surprise, as it turns out that the noumenon, that is the intention of it is a bad thing: the real substance of the world is evil! This desire is unconscious and is the only reason as a means to achieve their goals, is unique because it exists outside of the categories of space, time and causality and objective step by step: - Neo-Platonic influence - first in the archetypes (the Platonic ideas), then in every creature and object. Being outside of time, the will is eternal, and being irrational, that is, outside the category of cause, it is also absurd and blind: for each event will not be able to understand only part of the will itself, recognizing only itself, and therefore sees only the other instruments to exploit for their own survival, not other manifestations of the same will. Since this will is evil, it must be fought, that is transformed into noluntas: To accomplish this, Schopenhauer has two solutions: the ethics of compassion and asceticism, the latter of eastern origin. The first is to come to the realization that what seems to me other than me in fact it is not because we are all phenomenal objectification of the will is therefore a noble form of altruism and selflessness.
The second proposes the annulment of the will through the attainment of nirvana. Schopenhauer condemns suicide, considering that, rather than a renunciation of the will, a greater claim to it, because making such a gesture will not reject an individual but their poor living conditions.
There are some differences between the world views of the two thinkers. The philosopher Schopenhauer thought
is more complex than that of Leopardi: the latter admits suicide, believes that only the human condition is bad, not the entire world, and feels - like Augustine - evil as the absence of good. This view is more pessimistic than that of the philosopher of Gdansk, because it puts a negative intention of leaving the hope that it will be converted into something positive, while in the Leopards could not be done.

pampsichistico the vein, is part of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
In this poem nature is an organism that lives in harmony with man, unless he does not sin of blasphemy against him, as if killing dell'albatro, accomplished without a reason from the old sailor. In this act of revenge following υβρις very hard by nature: death, divine, wins the hearts of sailors of the crew, who perished in agony, the Life-in-death, also in the form of deities , wins the soul of the old sailor, who is forced to suffer until the appearance of sea snakes of many colors and repentance of the protagonist. This is a watershed moment in the story: the first creatures were gathering around the vessel monstrous and evil spirits described in the romantic style for the dark and monstrous, after, the creatures take on a positive value: guide the sailor on the right track, in real sense is, both figuratively. The protagonist learns in this way, the respect for nature, behind which is hidden from the divine, but is condemned to tell their stories forever. The ballad is thus composed of a ring. It is a story in the narrative: it opens with the stone guest of marriage that can not escape the story of the Ancient Mariner, lured by the magical power of this man, and ends with the same stone guest which vanishes' sadder but more become wise. " The size of Coleridge
lies in describing scenes and surreal supernatural make it as close as possible to the story of an adventure really happened. For this purpose does a work of purging the lexicon, trying to reach a language 'as old as the ancient mariner, ancient and simple, full of all the wonder of books and travel. [... ] It 's the ideal language, lost in the diversification of social, historical, individual: each time found from the poem. It 's the first word of the language by which a man breaks the silence "(Geneva Bompiani).


The ice was here,

the ice was there,

Was the ice all around:
it cracked and growled,

and roared and howled, Like noises in

to swound!
(vv. 59-62)


(translation by Mario Luzi:

The ice was everywhere,

was here, was there:

was all around;

rattled, groaned and howled!

How, Sven, we hear a rumble room.)


The very deep did rot: O Christ!

That Should this ever be!

Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs upon the slimy sea
.

(vv. 123-126)


(translation by Mario Luzi:

The deep rotting, O Christ!

that happen this thing!

crawling sticky paws

bodies to inform the water slimy. )


I pass, like night, from land to land;
I have strange power of speech;
That Moment That I see His face, I know the man
That must hear me: my
To Him that I teach. .

(vv. 586-590)


(translation by Mario Luzi:

from land to land migrates as a shadow;

strange power is in my words;

as soon as he ch ' I I see his face,

know the man that I should heed:

to him my story kr)



In current Roman ticismo, we also find Caspar David Friedrich. This artist, to paint a landscape, trying to bring out the feeling that it transmits to humans. In line with the poetics of the sublime, depicting situations in which it occurs unleashed the power of the elements of nature. Often, this performance stands in contrast to the smallness of human being and his existential condition: thus man has the impression of being confined to a tiny dot surrounded by an infinite universe and majestic, capable of giving rise to this sublime feelings. Representations can be stated as clearly exemplify the Wanderer above the Sea of \u200b\u200bFog, Monaco by the sea, beach and sea ice Marshy, reminiscent of Coleridge's ballad.
To fully understand this poetics, it can be compared with that of the picturesque, whose greatest exponent was John Constable, whose paintings are real romances in which nature is peaceful friend of man.









Friedrich's art is also suffering from the influences of poetry cemetery cleverly transposed onto the canvas in Abbey in the oak case, the work also to make a valid comparison between the human dimensions and those of the natural elements, in this case the trees, thus confirming the dominant motif of Friedrich's painting: the sense of human finitude in infinity of nature.












PHILOSOPHICAL STUDIES


Reflections on the combination of work by Paul Ricoeur Marx, Nietzsche and Freud as "masters of suspicion '











The philosopher Pau Ricoeur interprets the Marx, Nietzsche and Freud as "masters of suspicion". This definition highlights the fact that these three thinkers have sought to portray the true essence of consciousness, and reality, destroying many of the traditional certainties of their times. From this arises the desecration of religion, explaining it as a system that was intended as a instrumentum kingdoms (the 'opium of people "Marx), as a" Platonism for the people "(Nietzsche), or as a set of collective rituals aimed to satisfaction of the atavistic desire to protect people in the dialectic son (humanity) - father (god), as interpreted by Freud. So writes Ricoeur, quote Heidegger: "The 'destruction' of the worlds is a retrograde positive task, including the destruction of religion, insofar as it is, in the words of Nietzsche, a" Platonism for the people. "
After the destruction of the illusory certainties that have suppressed the truth, it is necessary that it arises in its most clear expression of this need arises because the Nietzschean phrase: "Dead are all gods: now we want the superman alive! " (Thus Spake Zarathustra, Part I, by virtue of giving, par. 3). And to create the superman you must follow the reality without trying sovraterrene certainties thus remaining faithful to the earth. The reality must therefore be analyzed in hermeneutics, and this is accomplished by the three thinkers in question, each of which examined all of reality, not just a specific branch of knowledge, as the study of the three academic philosophers would have us believe. Ricoeur points out what he wrote: "We are still too attentive to their differences, that is, ultimately, the limits imposed on these three thinkers from the prejudices of their time, and we are particular victims of school in which they are closed down by their successors: that Marx is relegated in an economical and in the absurd theory of Marxist-reflective consciousness, Nietzsche is pulled toward a biological or even to an apology of violence, Freud is shelved in psychiatry, disguised in a ridiculously simplistic pansexualism.
All three make an analytical process in reverse, ie starting from the phenomenal manifestations of reality (which may appear disorganized in the first instance and without sense) to get to the factors that have been originated and processes through which they acquire the appearance with which they appear. Given these dynamics, we understand how the lack of order and sense identified above was only apparent. All three philosophers analyzed his material by the method of investigation that unfolds in Freud's interpretation of dreams, then in understanding the phenomena that gave a semblance irrational real memories. This is the meaning of the complex sentence of Ricoeur: "From them, the understanding is hermeneutic: finding meaning, now does not mean to spell awareness of the meaning, but deciphering his expressions."
