Il significato da dare alla virtù cristiana della povertà ha sempre avuto carattere estremamente problematico nell’intera vita della Chiesa. Per accostarsi ad un’interpretazione distante da ogni visione utopica e da ogni impostazione ideologica occorre riferirsi all’intero bagaglio dell’intelligenza teologica e del buon senso naturale. Il primo patrimonio dell’intelligenza teologica è offerto dal modo con cui Gesù si è rapportato ai beni materiali mentre dal buon senso naturale il cristiano recepisce quel realismo che non rappresenta alcuna riduzione della fede, ma l’ambito stesso della verifica umana dell’esperienza cristiana.

La virtù della povertà. Cristo e il cristiano dinanzi ai beni materiali

La Prima Guerra Mondiale «fu il risultato di una lotta lunga ed aspra contro lo spirito liberale e l’inizio di un’epoca di contestazione ancor più aspra dei principi liberali». Questo pensiero di Ludwig von Mises consente di rendere subito chiara una spiegazione delle cause remote e prossime della Grande Guerra, spiegazione molto differente da quelle più comuni. Questo testo intende documentare come l’accrescimento dei poteri politici sia all’origine della conflittualità che portò al disastro: una “guerra totale”, inevitabile conseguenza della costruzione dello “Stato totale”. «Con questo suo nuovo libro, Di Martino ci dona una lettura inedita della Grande Guerra, che appare come un grande conflitto tra un liberalismo ottocentesco che non pervenne mai a reale maturazione, e le nuove forze liberticide e centralistiche che terranno per oltre mezzo secolo in pugno l’Europa e il mondo, e la cui presenza è ancora purtroppo molto viva all'inizio del terzo millennio» — Paolo L. Bernardini (Accademia dei Lincei - Università dell’Insubria) «Dopo i riconoscimenti ricevuti per il libro Rivoluzione del 1789, Di Martino ha confermato le sue notevoli doti di storico pubblicando uno studio su un altro avvenimento decisivo della storia contemporanea: la Prima Guerra Mondiale» — Guglielmo Piombini (saggista ed editore) «Una rassegna critica delle principali interpretazioni con una personale, convincente riflessione di Di Martino. Mi complimento con l'autore perché è riuscito a coniugare tante idee e condurle allo scopo» — Marcello Pera, professore emerito di Filosofia della scienza, già presidente del Senato della Repubblica Italiana «Il centenario della Grande Guerra ha visto la pubblicazione di una cospicua quantità di studi sull’argomento, ma il saggio di Di Martino si caratterizza per un’interpretazione decisamente originale e innovativa» — Giuliana Iurlano (Università del Salento)

La Grande Guerra 1914-1918. Stato onnipotente e catastrofe della civiltà

Leonardo Caporarello

Marcello Martinez

This book offers a multidisciplinary strategy for finding new and more effective human-computer interaction approaches, in particular from a socio-technical perspective, that facilitate the exploration and exploitation of benefits that information technologies (IT) offer organizations. Though the relationship between IT and organizations is certainly very strong, it is also one of the greatest obstacles to securing benefits from their interaction. The participation of organizational users in the planning and design stages of IT interfaces is the main area of human-computer interaction, where a wealth of contributions are positively enriching both the academic and management discussions. Thus, a new approach for managing this relationship is needed, one in which the different stakeholders are suitably taken into account. Moreover, the outstanding success of the 2.0 phenomenon offers an example of a relevant platform where human-computer interaction has been widely developed and exploited. Consequently, this will influence and already is influencing – the way IT and users interact with each other. The book is based on a selection of the best papers – original, double blind peer-reviewed contributions – from the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, held in Milan, Italy in December 2013.

Fostering Interaction Between People, Technologies and Processes

Smart Organizations and Smart Artifacts

Antonio Esposito

This book focuses on the Internet of Everything and related fields. The Internet of Everything adds connectivity and intelligence to just about every device, giving it special functions. The book provides a common platform for integrating information from heterogeneous sources. However, this can be quite reductive, as the Internet of Everything provides links not only among things, but also data, people, and business processes. The evolution of current sensor and device networks, with strong interactions between people and social environments, will have a dramatic impact on everything from city planning, first responders, the military and health. Such a shared ecosystem will allow for the interaction between data, sensor inputs and heterogeneous systems. Semantics is a fundamental component of this since semantic technologies are able to provide the necessary bridge between different data representations, and to solve terminology incongruence. Integrating data from distributed devices, sensor networks, social networks and biomedical instruments requires, first of all, the systematization of the current state of the art in such fields. Then, it is necessary to identify a common action thread to actually merge and homogenize standards and techniques applied in such a heterogeneous field. The exact requirements of an Internet of Everything environment need to be precisely identified and formally expressed, and finally, the role of modern computing paradigms, such as Cloud and Fog Computing, needs to be assessed with respect to the requirements expressed by an Internet of Everything ecosystem.

Serving as a flagship driver towards advance research in the area of Big Data platforms and applications, this book provides a platform for the dissemination of advanced topics of theory, research efforts and analysis, and implementation oriented on methods, techniques and performance evaluation. In 23 chapters, several important formulations of the architecture design, optimization techniques, advanced analytics methods, biological, medical and social media applications are presented. These chapters discuss the research of members from the ICT COST Action IC1406 High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet). This volume is ideal as a reference for students, researchers and industry practitioners working in or interested in joining interdisciplinary works in the areas of intelligent decision systems using emergent distributed computing paradigms. It will also allow newcomers to grasp the key concerns and their potential solutions.

Oh Liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom! Marie-Jeanne Roland de la Platière La Rivoluzione francese ha scompaginato l’intera storia dell’umanità. Come è stato possibile che una serie di eventi di efferata brutalità, o di indubbia immoralità, siano stati recepiti nella coscienza moderna in una luce così positiva? La aprioristica glorificazione del 1789 sconfessa proprio la filosofia che l’ha ispirata. I Lumi si proponevano di rischiarare la ragione ottenebrata dai pregiudizi. La rivoluzione giacobina è stata generalmente intesa come una grande affermazione dei diritti individuali. In realtà essa ha rappresentato la imponente accelerazione del centralismo statalista che ha ridotto la persona alla totale dipendenza dal potere politico. Strana emancipazione quella avviata nel 1789. Di Martino passa sinteticamente in rassegna la vicenda dell’Ottantanove francese attraverso eventi e tematiche particolarmente rivelatrici sulla natura dell’ideologia che vi si affermò.
