Marco Senaldi's 'Pensare oltre' on Philosophy, Art, and the Pandemic
In 2021, Marco Senaldi, a philosopher and columnist for Artribune, released 'Pensare oltre. Come la riflessione filosofica può aiutarci nell’epoca della pandemia' (Piemme). During a discussion with Marco Enrico Giacomelli, he critiques the trend of quick philosophical publications, referencing works by Pier Aldo Rovatti. He contrasts Jean Hyppolite's 'Genesi e struttura della Fenomenologia dello Spirito' (1946) with Alexandre Kojève's seminars from 1933 to 1939. Senaldi utilizes Hegel's concept of the 'double gallery of images' to examine modern issues, emphasizing the significance of art fairs and museums. He proposes alternatives such as exploring the Louvre or transforming fairs into treasure hunts. He also cites Raffaele Alberto Ventura's 'Teoria della classe disagiata' (2017) and introduces 'obversione' as a logical concept. The book is priced at €17.50, with ISBN 9788856679717.
