The recent publication of Pascal’s “Opere complete” fills a certainly unjustifiable absence. Released last autumn in Bompiani’s “Il pensiero occidentale” series, the volume is now presented by Maria Vita Romeo and collects texts and documents never translated before. For the very first time the Italian public has so the opportunity to fully appreciate the author’s philosophical and scientific production. In this way, for the non-specialist reader, the vast panorama of single and sometimes partial translations of pamphlets, physical treatises, letters, biographical testimonies and minor Pascalian autographs is integrated and enriched, consequently favoring their more agile and broad consultation, as well as an approach more detailed and rigorous to the primary bibliography, even in its often neglected and yet fundamental offshoots.
帕斯卡的《歌剧全集》最近出版,填补了一个毫无道理的空缺。去年秋天,这本书在Bompiani的“Il pensiero occidentale”系列中出版,现在由Maria Vita Romeo出版,收集了以前从未翻译过的文本和文件。这是意大利公众第一次有机会充分欣赏作者的哲学和科学作品。通过这种方式,对于非专业读者来说,小册子,物理论文,信件,传记证词和次要的帕斯卡利亚签名的单一和有时部分翻译的广阔全景被整合和丰富,因此有利于他们更灵活和广泛的咨询,以及对主要参考书目更详细和严格的方法,甚至在其经常被忽视但基本的分支中也是如此。

This paper focuses on an important 18th Century admirer of Dante Alighieri, Agostino Paradisi the Younger. In 1758, at only twenty-two years of age, Paradisi published an inspired ode in defense of the Comedy so to highlight Dante’s ability to write in a masterly way regarding the divine mysteries, to investigate the depth of the human soul and to draw memorable images. Paradisi composed his poem, entitled Contra the Author of the Pseudo-Virgilian Letters to Lord Canon Ritorni, in reaction to the anonymous publication of the Ten Letters of Virgil (1757) by Saverio Bettinelli. The latter criticized, in these epistles, the Italian poetic tradition and above all the Comedy, a work he accused of obscurity, extravagance, deformity, and tediousness. For the rest of his life Paradisi would continue to praise Dante. This article ends with the full text of the apologetic ode written by Paradisi.

The text starts from the question posed by the nuns of Port-Royal: can the monastic condition ignore the voice of conscience? The dramatic results triggered by the questions had their roots in a book published in 1640: Augustinus by Cornelis Jansen who proposed uncompromising religiosity by appealing to the thought of the holy bishop. That book created around itself a spiritual movement that marked the seventeenth century with a brand of diversity and opposition to the ruling power, political and religious. But perhaps Jansenism would never have been such an attractive ethical reference without Port-Royal, which the king wanted to destroy precisely to disperse the movement.The Cistercian abbey, however, was first of all a community of women consecrated to prayer and yet, the extent of the theological controversies of which it became the center and the vast literary production that surrounded it, ended up eclipsing that primacy of the conversation with God that was the highest ambition of the religious group. On the other hand, it was difficult for a group of austere nuns who refused blind obedience not to cause scandal, in seventeenth-century France and beyond. However, the destruction of the abbey did not manage to silence the voices of its inhabitants and their behavior still challenges us.

Gaetano Antonio Gualtieri
This essay takes into consideration the themes of work and freedom in the philosophy of three important exponents of Southern Italian modern culture: Gianvincenzo Gravina, Giambattista Vico and Francesco Longano. Work and freedom interlace in the speculations of these three thinkers, even though the issues they emphasize about them are different. Gravina deals with intellectual work: the wise man, according to the philosopher’s point of view, is the only one who can bridle both the impetuousness of people and the rulers’ authoritarianism. As a consequence, it is only by the work of the intellectual that it is possible to reach and conquer freedom. Vico presents work in its historical development, focusing on the conflict between «heroes» and «famoli», first, and «patricians» and «plebeians», then. In Vico’s opinion, work makes little by little the weakest classes aware of their unhappy condition and lays the foundations for a change of society towards democracy. Finally, Longano faces up to the problem of slavery, still very diffused in the second half of the Eighteenth century, by proposing a “communist” society in the utopian city of Filopoli, in which both freedom and equality in work are guaranteed.

The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with a brief historical and historiographical summary of the main features of the cultural, political and social contexts in which Adam Smith develops his thought on human nature. There are two hypotheses to be demonstrated: 1) The need to talk about plural contexts rather than a single context in reference to the Scottish Eighteenth Century; 2) The fact that these contexts are characterized by three main elements: transition, progress and conflict.

M. Giammarco
Solon’s reform in Athens (early 6th century BC) is the subject of wide discussions: an organic constitutional reform (politeia) or individual sectoral laws? Plato’s testimony has received limited attention from critics, who are mainly focused on the passages from Charmides and Timaeus, alluding to the kinship (syngheneia) between the two. Indeed, the philosopher is not generous with details and does not explicitly describe the ‘constitution of Solon’; however, a thorough examination of the references – in as chronological an order as was possible – has revealed clear data and an evolving thought. Unlike Aristotle and Herodotus, Plato outlines a somewhat reductive portrait of Solon as a poet and wise man; but, as a legislator, in his dialogues of maturity Plato repeatedly counts Solon among the ‘greats’ of the past, those who, through reforming the politeia, have fixed their State bodies identity. Finally, in the Laws, his last work, Plato shows his expertise on some of the Solonic laws and expresses a mild appreciation for their author. On the whole, while Plato’s testimony does not contradict Aristotle’s much more thorough and favorable one, neither does it coincide with it: on the person of the legislator, as well as on the thorny questions connected to his ‘constitution’– such as the ideology of the ‘mixed constitution’ and that of the Athenian patrios politeia – the positions of the two philosophers prove to be distant, both in the conceptual framework and in the political judgment.

This paper offers a brief account of the genesis and development of Voltaire’s interest in the figure of Peter the Great, and his immense homeland, Russia. Voltaire has dedicated two of his works to these topics: Anecdotes concerning Peter the Great (1748), and History of the Russian Empire under Peter the Great (1759-1763). In both texts, the famous sovereign is portrayed as an enlightened monarch who hated prejudice and ignorance, and managed to initiate a vehement modernization process that led to the civilization of the Russian folk, despite the vigorous opposition of the conservative forces (Eastern Orthodox Church, boyars, and streltsy).

Redatto nel 1776 e pubblicato per la prima volta postumo nelle edizioni di Kehl del 1784 e del 1785, la Storia dell’affermazione del cristianesimo ("Histoire de l’etablissement du christianisme") rappresenta l’apice delle prolungate riflessioni di Voltaire sulla religione. Le invettive che il filosofo francese lancia all’indirizzo del cristianesimo e della Chiesa, conseguenti ad una vera e propria indagine storica sulla religione cristiana, hanno lo scopo di sensibilizzare il lettore sui veri valori religiosi, stimolandolo ad uno sguardo critico che consenta di superare la visione dogmatica imposta dalla Chiesa nel corso dei secoli ed incitandolo ad abbracciare una religione pura, ossia il deismo (o, come preferisce chiamarlo lui, “teismo”). La recente edizione del libro, curata da Domenico Felice, nel presentare in modo esaustivo tutte le componenti del testo, rappresenta un ulteriore passo avanti nella delineazione della figura di Voltaire.

Considered by most of the critics as a mere work preparatory to "Esprit des lois", in extreme cases also as a divertissement, the book "Lettere persiane" by Montesquieu, edited by Domenico Felice, is seen in a new light. This work should be taken into consideration not only as anticipating Montesquieu’s masterpiece, but also as a political and philosophical treatise and, in addition to this, a writing with its own precise specificity and autonomy. Besides, "Lettere persiane", points out the author’s opposition to the despotism and the oppression of man in all its forms; by the use of irony, the French philosopher expresses a deep feeling of seriousness and a certain pessimism which deny the prejudice according to which this work of Montesquieu’s is the result of the author’s enjoyment.

Quest’articolo prende in esame la polemica letteraria italo-francese che scoppia nel 1765 e che, nonostante la sua breve durata, ha l’effetto di ravvivare il sentimento nazionale in una porzione non trascurabile del mondo colto del Bel Paese. La contesa inizia con una Lettre anonima, ma del bordolese Alexandre Deleyre (1726-1797), pubblicata nel marzo 1765 nella rivista parigina «Gazette litteraire de l’Europe»: secondo il controverso Enciclopedista, l’Italia settecentesca e in piena decadenza morale, culturale, politica ed economica. Il poeta emiliano Agostino Paradisi il Giovane (1736-1783) invia alla rivista veneziana «La Minerva» un’informatissima Epistola anonima che, stampata nell’ottobre 1765, e da considerarsi la risposta piu lucida e ponderata da parte italiana alle denunce e alle accuse di Deleyre.
这篇文章回顾了1765年意大利和法国之间的文学争论,尽管争论的时间很短,但在这个美丽国家的文化世界的很大一部分地区,这种争论激起了民族感情。这场争论始于1765年3月发表在巴黎杂志《欧洲公报》(Gazette litteraire del ' europe)上的一篇不知名的文章:根据有争议的百科全书,意大利在道德、文化、政治和经济上都处于崩溃状态。诗人埃米利亚诺·阿古斯蒂诺·帕拉迪西(1736-1783)向威尼斯杂志《密涅瓦》(La Minerva)发送了一份信息丰富的匿名信件,该信件于1765年10月出版,被认为是意大利对德勒的指控和指控做出的最清晰、最深思熟虑的回应。
