Marcello Veneziani

A good book, very erudite and language a bit ' cryptic.
Veneziani is a sophisticated thinker, no doubt, but she has written better in my opinion.
In this essay has dealt a big topic, so single-subject, and then could not help but wander among the infinite worlds.
However, a useful book, because it thought-provoking and leaves just before the destiny. A vision is certainly not pessimistic, but certainly a bit '... Fatalistic.

From the back cover: "In the ordinary sense, destiny is conceived as a cruel policeman who pulls nails in the life of a lot. In reality, the fate of being rooted in the future, gives meaning to the incident , connects the existence of a draft and a persistence. To be is to have a destiny. "Today we live in a desert full of sense of accessories. We have everything except the meaning of life. And for the first time we feel a short space and time, which together produce eradication, that is an irreparable loss place felt like home and refuge, and "instant", that disappeared in the past and the future of this maelstrom. not free ourselves from the fate has given us the freedom and wisdom, he left us at the mercy of the case, a tyrant even more blind and more neutral. You can now reconsider the fate of recognizing intelligent design to life outside the determinism of science? Marcello Veneziani deals with the fate of reading by turning the key "to height of man "and passing by fate itself - and solemn metaphysical entity - her lovers, or those who before the sunset of history, faith and thought it does not pretend that nothing has happened, not to go back and even welcomes the release occurred, but again the thought in relation to reality and this tabula rasa. An attempt to overcome nihilism and Nietzsche, referring back to classical and neo-Platonic tradition, to Simone Weil and Maria Zambrano "

Why Do I Ache A Week After The Gym

The Craftsman by Richard Sennett

It 's a book that makes one think. On the most basic things and granted in our daily lives. So Rates do not notice them even more.
The use of hands, for example, has become a skill undertone.
The use of hands as skills related to thought, to deduct the rational implementation.
The "know how" everything has moved on intellectual abilities. Knowing how to use your hands just know how to use a keyboard, touch screen, mouse, remote control, a keyboard of a machine. As in the game.
capacity of observation, deduction and repair we have definitely lost. If something breaks, something concrete, simply replace it, if not directly buy back everything we have Ikea, Leroy Merlin, Trony, Ebay. Even we look to understand how it is made and maybe just replace a screw.

Our business activity has become the consumption function consumption.

And in the end our hands more and more detached from our minds: how to deal with the virtual reality and if it provides us with an iPhone application that mimics a cold or hot on the video phone, was thrilled as a big victory for progress.
We have fire and ice in nature, but prefer their virtual imitations.

Re-learn how to use your hands, get the manual, it means re-teach the mind to emancipate themselves and stimulating their spirit of survival.
A concrete example

told by Mauro Corona.
Two spouses were lost while hiking in a forest and were found frozen to death some days later. In his pocket, one of the two, had an entire box of matches.
The two have died, because they can not light a fire to warm up. Dramatic, but true.

From the back cover: "Being able to do good things for your pleasure: a simple and strict rule of life that has allowed the development of refined techniques and the emergence of modern scientific knowledge. Fabbri, jewelers, instrument makers united material knowledge and manual dexterity: the mind and hand worked reinforcement, an ensign to the other and vice versa. But is not the only manual work to take advantage of the synergy between theory and practice. Because those who know how to govern themselves and self determination and respect for rules, Sennett argues, not only will build a beautiful violin, a perfect mechanism, or watch from a bridge capable of challenging the millennia, but will also be a citizen right. The Craftsman tells of Roman engineers and jewelers of the Renaissance, the eighteenth-century Parisian printers and factories of industrial London, a historic route through which Sennett reconstructs the fault lines that separate technical and espressione.arte and crafts, creation and application. The best example of "know how" modern? the group that created Linux, the craftsmen of the modern computer cathedral "
