The Influence of Alfred North Whitehead on Eric Voegelin

Risultato della ricerca: Contributo in rivista › Articolo in rivista › peer review

Abstract

[Ita:]Lo scopo di questo articolo consiste nel mettere in luce alcuni aspetti del pensiero speculativo di Alfred North Whitehead che sono stati accolti e sviluppati da Eric Voegelin. Seguirò le dichiarazioni di Voegelin prima di introdurre le mie riflessioni teoretiche. In particolare, mi focalizzerò su tre concetti proposti da Whitehead che si ripresentano nel pensiero di Voegelin, ossia quello di "clima di opinioni", di "fallacia della concretezza mal riposta" e di "processo" (considerato nella sua relazione rispetto al concetto di "simbolo"). Mettendo in luce alcuni aspetti di continuità intellettuale tra i due autori (senza con ciò dimenticare le differenze di prospettiva) rifletterò sul ruolo da loro esercitato nel corso della storia delle idee.
