Agenda

Giulio Gisondi
Istituto Italiano di Studi Filosofici

This talk presents a research project that aim at analyzing the theorization of the concepts
of crisis, memory and oblivion in Niccolò Machiavelli’s and in Giordano Bruno’s works. Crisis
constitutes a chronic factor of modernity and of the contemporary European civilization related
to the experiences of historical times and to the organization of the political space. Exercising
memory in response to a crisis means recomposing the individual and the collective history by
understanding removed contents in order to reshape the present and the future. Machiavelli’s
and Bruno’s philosophies offer us theoretical tools to understand and address the chronic crises
that still affect Europe today and rethink our idea of modernity.
