2025: anno distopico

Il 2025 si profila come un anno distopico, evidenziando la tensione tra utopia e distopia nella società contemporanea. L'utopia ha dominato la nostra visione di un futuro migliore, mentre la distopia si manifesta come un incubo da esorcizzare, astraendo elementi delle esperienze storiche di oppressione e totalitarismo. Attraverso opere come "1984" di Orwell e "Il racconto dell'ancella" di Atwood, si segnala la vulnerabilità della libertà individuale di fronte ai regimi autoritari) e al controllo tecnologico. Il rischio di un'involuzione delle libertà richiede una riflessione sui principi etici e sulla governance inclusiva per prevenire cicli di oppressione e disuguaglianza.

Drawing inspiration from Vasco Rossi's metaphor on creativity, the Equilibrium Project promotes a balanced approach to training.

The article explores the intersection of philosophical practices and political phenomena, particularly reflecting on the recent U.S. elections and Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

It argues that political narratives must resonate emotionally with voters, utilizing archetypal imagery. The success of right-wing leaders stems from their ability to connect with voters’ deep-seated archetypes, contrasting with the left's failure to effectively mobilize similar sentiments. Ultimately, the piece suggests that philosophical practice can aid in decoding these dynamics for better political engagement.

Antifonte e l’avvocato

Una simpatica vicenda è il pretesto per parlare del filosofo Antifonte, che si dichiarava in grado di curare i mali dell'anima con la filosofia, e il secondo principio del dialogo interiore. Ma forse la stessa narrazione di un fatto immaginario non è un dialogo interiore? A nice story serves as a pretext to talk about the philosopher Antiphon, who claimed to be able to heal the ailments of the soul through philosophy, and the second principle of self talking. But perhaps the very narration of an imaginary event is not itself self talking?

Il triangolo sì

We have seen how philosophical practice intersects with coaching in mental preparation for sports, leading to the idea of a philosophical coaching manual, previewed in these articles. Starting from the archetype presented by Plato’s Auriga myth, we become aware of the existence of different components within our psyche. These parts must be brought into connection, so that they act harmoniously. A key tool of effective philosophical coaching is self-talk. In this section, we lightly outline its general features and address the three pillars of this technique: speaking to oneself positively, reframing events, and naming things. Here, we sketch the outlines of the first characteristic: speaking to oneself positively.
