The idea of SALVATORE VECA - contained in Dell'incertezza. Three philosophical meditations (Feltrinelli 1997) - that
-- "Taking language seriously, which means tracing or recognizing boundaries and intertwining with activities, experiences, intrinsically non-linguistic emotions, goals, interests, purposes, transactions and actions.
" In a world they discover
«Strange and complicated that it is not inherently" them ",
men and women recurrently engage in the never-ending enterprise of adopting and reworking vocabularies, to describe and redescribe oneself and the world, communicate this to others by targeting a variety of audiences and, jointly, based on a variety of purposes, interests, ideals, values or needs concerning treatments, ways of living the finite lives they have, after all, in common to live.
(The idea here is this: we are essentially interested in converting a world into a reality, shared on a lasting basis with others, of facts and values. We aim to share what there is and what, for us, is worth) ».
DEPARTURES
Departure (departing souls)
In me your memory is a rustle
only of velocipedes that go
quietly where the height
of the afternoon descends
to the brightest vespers
between gates and houses
and sighing slopes
of windows reopened on the summer.
Alone, of me, distant
a train lament lasts,
of souls that go away.
And there lightly you go on the wind,
you get lost in the evening.
Hydrangeas say:
- she left tonight
and the dark country has enclosed itself
behind the lantern
guiding his steps -
they also say: - it's over
summer died in her,
and the cold will know nothing
green autumn stars -.
A dog barked at the dead of hour
to the rain in the shade of the mill
and the house the garden
it veils of light humidity.

The real way to make things present to us is to represent them in our space (and not to represent us in theirs).
This is also the case with the great things of the past. It is not we who move into them, but they who enter our life.

think COMPLEXITY
What is complexity? In the first instance, complexity is a fabric (complexus: that which is woven together) of heterogeneous constituents inseparably associated: poses the paradox of the one and the multiple. Secondly, the complexity is actually the fabric of facts, actions, interactions, feedbacks, determinations, hazards, which constitute
our phenomenal world. But then the complexity presents itself with the disturbing lines of the jumble,
of the inextricable, of the disorder, of the ambiguity, of the uncertainty ... Hence the need, for knowledge, to put order in phenomena by rejecting disorder, to remove the uncertain, that is to say to select the elements of order and of certainty, to purify ambiguity, to clarify, distinguish, hierarchize ... But similar operations, necessary for purposes of intelligibility, they risk making blind if they eliminate the other characters of the complexus; and actually there they have made us blind.
Now complexity has returned to us, in the sciences, along the same path that had expelled it ...
… It emerged that life is not a substance, but a phenomenon of extraordinarily self-eco-organization complex that produces autonomy. From this point on, it is evident that the anthropological-social phenomena do not they will certainly be able to obey less complex principles of intelligibility than those now required for natural phenomena.
We must face the anthropological-social complexity, and no longer dissolve or hide it.
The difficulty of complex thinking consists in having to face the jumble (the infinite game of inter feedbacks), the correlation of phenomena with each other, fog, uncertainty, contradiction. But we can elaborate some of the conceptual tools, some of the principles for this distinction / conjunction adventure that allows for to distinguish without disjoining, to associate without identifying or reducing.
Edgar Morin, Introduction to complex thinking. The tools to face the challenge of complexity (1990),
Sperling & Kupfer, 1993, p. 10-11
But complexity doesn't just include quantities of units and interactions that challenge our computational possibilities;
it also includes uncertainties, uncertainties, random phenomena. Complexity, in a certain sense, always has a dealing with the case.
Complexity therefore coincides with a share of uncertainty, either relative to the limits of our intellect or intrinsic to phenomena. But complexity doesn't come down to uncertainty, it's uncertainty within highly organized systems.
It concerns semi-random systems whose order is inseparable from the hazards that characterize them. Complexity is therefore linked to a certain mix of order and disorder, an intimate mix, unlike order / disorder statistical, in which order (poor and static) reigns at the level of large populations and disorder (poor, as pure indeterminacy) reigns at the level of elementary units.

In my hermitage in France there is a japonica bush, the Japanese quince.
It usually blooms in spring, but in a mildly warm winter, the buds appeared early. A night came a cold wave and brought the frost with it. The next day, during walking meditation, I noticed that all the buds of the bush were dead; It occurred to me: “On New Year's Eve we won't have enough flowers for."

A few weeks later the weather began to warm again. Walking in the garden I saw new buds: the japonica showed another generation of flowers. I asked them: “Are you the same flowers that died of frost, or are you others flowers? ».
The buds answered me: 'Thà y, we are not the same and we are not others. When conditions are sufficient there we manifest, when the conditions are not enough we go back to hiding. It's that simple!
This is what the Buddha taught us:
when conditions are sufficient, things manifest themselves;
when conditions are no longer sufficient, things retreat waiting for the right moment to manifest itself again ».

think about democracy
By democracy I don't mean anything vague like "people's rule" or "majority rule" at all,
but a set of institutions (and among them especially the general elections, that is the right of the people to dismiss the government) that allow public control of the rulers and their dismissal by the governed and that allow the governed to obtain reforms without resorting to violence and even against the will of the rulers.

think about addictions
Drug addicts are neither delinquents who can be re-educated with work nor sick people who can be cured
with magical products.
They are human beings who have a particular relationship with drugs, as others have it with alcohol, with tobacco or 6with tranquilizers.
For some time now, the addicts no longer form a well-defined marginal area: they are among us, sometimes they are indeed good integrated. We meet them every day. Drug addiction is mobile, plastic, resists adapting wonderfully to all situations, all repressions, because it arises from a need, a lack, a challenge, one feverish search for something else - all sources that persist and will always persist.
Every society generates its own drug addicts - addicted to heroin, alcohol or tranquilizers. When gives as supreme idol the golden calf and when the straight path takes the form of a toll highway, the deviants they flee and proliferate in the countryside.

"Observing the dust in a ray of sunshine helps us to see the invisible"
An exercise for 2003
Duration: from fifteen to thirty minutes
Material: a room, a ray of light
Effect: reassuring
A somewhat dark room. Taxes ajar. Through them a ray of light. Bright, scorching sun, oblique rays
of sunrise or sunset. Countless sparkles stand out in the light that passes through the shadow. It is certainly one of the
most exciting and most magical spectacles that men can contemplate.
Thousands of tiny splinters that hold and reflect the luminosity twirl, turn, pass and pass.
Dots, sticks, microscopic feathers, tiny bows, tiny aerial, light, dancing things cross the light
in a sublime, serious and joyful way, terribly busy, agitated by vortices and itineraries that are impossible to follow.
Fragments of trajectories, pure flashes of life.
What is most striking about this sparkle miracle is the density. Forget the memories of childhood, the games of a
weather, the country houses, the smell of the closets if that is the case. Don't cling to these amazing specks. The
the boundary between light and darkness is suddenly so rigid, sharp and direct that it seems almost possible to touch it
with hand. The swarm of particles appears and disappears on the other side of the barrier. And this is where it is possible to dream.
There are few simple experiences that give the sensation of an invisible world so intensely
suddenly unveiled. In the ray of light it appears as a different piece of space, inserted in ours, a
universe on the other side, on the other side of the globe, on the other side, suddenly made visible as if by forced entry.
What would the world be like if we saw dust sparkle all the time, everywhere and always? There is not
continuously, everywhere and always an invisible and at the same time present layer? A layer that is possible reach, a space wedged in what we know?
What if it was just a question of knowing how to close the shutters properly?
think ethics
Here lies the decisive point. We must clearly realize that any ethically oriented action can fluctuate
between two radically different and irreconcilably opposite maxims: that is, it can be oriented according to the "ethics of conviction "(gesinnungsethisch) or according to the" ethics of responsibility "(verantwortungs-ethisch).
Not that the ethics of belief coincide with the lack of responsibility and the ethics of responsibility with the
lack of conviction. This is certainly not the case.
But there is an unbridgeable difference between acting according to the maxim of the ethics of belief, which - in terms religious - sounds: "The Christian works as just and puts the outcome in the hands of God", and to act according to the maxim ethics of responsibility, according to which one must answer for the (foreseeable) consequences of one's own
actions.
think ethics
Who wants to try to "scientifically refute" the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount, or, for example, the maxim:
"do not resist evil", or the image of turning the other cheek?
Yet it is clear that, from the worldly point of view, an ethic of the lack of dignity is preached: one must choose between religious dignity, which is the foundation of this ethics, and manly dignity, which preaches something quite different:
"You must resist evil, otherwise you too are responsible if it prevails."
It depends on one's attitude towards the ultimate goal that one is the devil and the other the god, and it is up to the individual to decide which is for him the god and which the devil. And so it happens for all the systems of life. [...] But the fate of ours civilization is precisely this, that today we have become again and more clearly aware of what a millennium of orientation - which is assumed or affirmed exclusively - towards the grandiose pathos of Christian ethics he had concealed from our eyes.
think families marriage
The confrontation that two partners carry on throughout their life, the bond of a man with a woman until death, it could be a special way in the search for one's soul, a special form of individuation. One of the distinctive features of this path of salvation is the ineluctability: just as the anchorite cannot escape from himself, thus neither spouse can escape the partner. It is this impossibility of escape, partly exhilarating and partly
tormentosa, which constitutes the specificity of this path.

... How many different ways do we judge things? How many times do we change our minds?
What I believe today and what I believe, I retain and believe it with all my conviction; all my tools and
all my devices support this opinion and give me as much guarantee as they can. "I could not
embrace any truth or hold it with greater strength than this. To it I have given myself whole, I have given myself really; but it didn't happen to me, not once, but a hundred, but a thousand, and every day, that I hugged someone other thing with these same tools, in this same way, and then having judged it "false?"
At least one must become wise at one's own expense.
If I have often found myself betrayed for this reason, if my touchstone usually turns out to be false and my
inaccurate and unfair balance, how can I be sure this time more than the others? This is not nonsense
let myself be deceived many times by the same guide? Although luck moves us five hundred times of place and not let us continually empty and fill, like a vase, our belief of always different opinions, the
present and the last one is always the certain and infallible one. For it one must abandon goods, honor, life and health and everything ... I who spy on myself more closely, who have my eyes incessantly fixed on myself, like someone who doesn't have much to

often trying to correct and give you new meaning, because I lost the first one that was better. I do not do than coming and going: my judgment does not always go forward; sways, wanders here and there ... Many times (how easily I happens to do), having begun for exercise and for fun to support an opinion contrary to mine, the my spirit, applying itself and turning that way, sticks to me so well that I no longer find the reason for my first opinion, and I walk away. I almost let myself be dragged where I lean, however it is, and I let myself be carried by mine
weight.
Everyone would say more or less the same about themselves, if they looked like I do ... In short, there is no existence constant, neither of our being nor of that of objects. And we, and our judgment, and all mortal things go rolling and rolling without rest. Thus nothing certain can be established from one to the other, both the judge and the judged by being in constant change and movement. We have no communication with being,
Since every human nature is always halfway between being born and dying, showing of itself only a dark appearance and a shadow, and an uncertain and weak opinion. And if, by any chance, you stare at your thought for wanting to grasp its being,
it will be neither more nor less than if you wanted to seize the water: for how much more it will tighten and grip what for its own nature drips away everywhere, the more it will lose what it wanted to hold and hold in its hand. Thus, being all things subject to passing from one change to another, reason, seeking a real consistency, finds itself disappointed,
not being able to grasp anything consistent and permanent, since everything either is going to be and is not yet completely, or
begins to die before being born ...

It is my belief that, expressing the problem of politics in the form:
"Who should rule?"
or "Whose will must be decisive?"
Plato produced a lasting confusion in the field of political philosophy. [...]
It is evident that, once the question: "Who should govern?" Has been formulated, answers to this cannot be avoided
genre: "the best" or "the wisest" or "the born ruler" ...
But such an answer, however convincing it may seem - in fact, who could argue the government of
"worst" or "greatest fool" or "born slave"? - is, as I will try to demonstrate, absolutely
sterile.[…]
But this leads us to a new approach to the problem of politics, because it forces us to replace the old

The unlikely starting point for an answer is "Going bear hunting", one of our children's books
favorites, in which a family sets out in search of a bear, only to find a series of obstacles: deep mud,
a cold river, a dark forest, a terrible storm.
Upon seeing each of these obstacles, the family sings: “We can't get over it. We can't go through it
under. We will have to go through it ”.

The question we must ask ourselves at this point is. because services have grown and continue to grow so high.
To answer, we need to analyze this very complex sector of the economy, examining the various types of services
separately:
a) Business services, such as marketing, accounting, design, engineering.
These first originated within companies, now they are contracted by companies externally, and this explains
the great growth of this type of services (which in OECD countries, for example, has doubled over the last few thirty years) This category includes financial, insurance and real estate services, which offer non-consulting
only to the business world, but also to society in general.
b) Product distribution services, both tangible and intangible such as knowledge and information. They include trade and communication services (mainly female employment) and transport (mainly male). These services typically account for 20% of all employment in OECD and EU countries. In the
USA, on the other hand, the percentage is higher, reaching around 32%, a consequence of a consumerist orientation greater and more developed trade.
e) Personal services including restaurants, laundries, hairdressers, housekeeping and housekeeping services. I'm gender, services that require a low qualification, and which until recently were mainly carried out in home.
The integration of women into the labor market has considerably increased the demand for this type of
services. In the US it has been calculated that for every woman who enters the job market, a demand is created that it produces three new jobs precisely in the field of personal services. Therefore one of the reasons that leads to increasing the integration of women in the labor market is given by the fact that this increases the number of jobs. As they say in the US "Working women create job" (women who work create jobs).

PROBLEMS PROBLEM SITUATION P. 18
"The most fruitful, perhaps, of the distinctions on which the sociological imagination works is that which contrasts them
"personal environmental difficulties" and "public problems of social structure". This distinction is a tool
characteristic of every classical work of social science.
The "troubles" occur in the context of the character of the individual and his immediate relationship with the
next one; they are connected with his self and with those circumscribed areas of social life of which he is directly and personally aware. The definition and resolution of difficulties belongs to the individual as an entity biological and its immediate environment, that is, the social framework that opens directly to his personal experience and, within certain limits, its voluntary activity. Difficulties are personal matters, they consist of feeling by the individual that his cherished values are threatened.
Issues instead refer to issues that transcend the individual's particular environment and boundaries
of his inner life. They refer to the organization of many individual environments in the institutions of a society
historical as a complex, in which these different individual environments overlap and interpenetrate, forming the larger structure of social and historical life. A problem is public matter, a group of individuals feel that one of his favorite values is threatened.
