Complete Issues by Lo Sguardo - Rivista di Filosofia
The re-discovery of Leibniz’s many facets depends on texts and letters made available to the scientific community; an enterprise decisively boosted by the systematic, critical edition produced by Akademie Ausgabe. Unlike previous editions of Leibniz’s papers – based mostly on a selection of texts – the Academy undertook a complete edition of Leibniz’s manuscripts found in the Niedersächsische Landesbibliothek in Hannover and elsewhere. Papers and letters have been published in chronological order, organized thematically in eight series of ‘der schwarzen Bänden’. The value of the Akademie Ausgabe work can hardly be underestimated: besides being an incredible effort to date and order Leibniz’s papers and letters chronologically, so that we can now reconstruct the genealogy of Leibniz’s ideas; the edition uncovered papers displaying some original and ground-breaking ideas by Leibniz, while their critical edition highlighted the sometimes tormented genesis of Leibniz’s view: the critical apparatus, reporting Leibniz’s and other’s intervention on papers and letters, registers both his accurate search for terminology and his constant improvement of demonstrations.
The recent revival in Bergsonian studies has been fuelled by an important critical edition project, led by Frédéric Worms. The most important stage was completed in 2011 with the republication of Bergson’s eight major works and the Écrits philosophiques. To these, two previously unpublished landmark texts have recently been added: the two courses Histoire de l’idée de temps and L’évolution du problème de la liberté, which were held at the Collège de France in 1902/1903 and 1904/1905 respectively. Péguy entrusted two stenographers with transcribing the lectures when he could not attend the courses himself. The transcriptions from the two courses were then donated to the Fonds Doucet in 1997, and finally edited respectively by Camille Riquier and Arnaud François for “Presses Universitaires de France”, which in coming years will carry on the publication of other previously unpublished texts from the same collection.
These publications lend a new voice to the philosopher through the famous lectures that so greatly contributed to his ‘glory’. Their content was hitherto completely unknown to 21st-century readers, with the exception of the brief summaries provided in the Mélanges and the few, partial transcriptions published in “Annales bergsoniennes” – some of which have already been translated into Italian (Storia della memoria e storia della metafisica, ETS 2007; Sul segno. Lezioni del 1902-1903 sulla storia dell’idea di tempo, Textus 2011).
La questione della tecnologia, e cioè dell’ibridazione tra umano e macchina, è ancora per molti il tratto più ‘appariscente’ del postumano, sia per la cultura popolare, sia per il senso comune all’interno dell’accademia; e tuttavia il trionfalismo di certo postumanesimo – e soprattutto delle sue derive transumaniste – ha alienato non pochi studiosi, a partire proprio da una delle ‘madri’ della teoria postumana, Donna Haraway. Resta il fatto che i livelli di intimità e intrusione della tecnologia nell’umano sono, semmai, enormemente cresciuti dai tempi del Manifesto Cyborg, come anche le resistenze a essi, e questo continua a sollevare inesauribili questioni ontologiche, etiche ed estetiche.
Una questione che ha invece assunto sempre più centralità è quella dell’‘animale’, tanto da imprimere una vera e propria ‘svolta’ – il cosiddetto animal turn – all’interno delle scienze umane. L’interdisciplinarità (o multidisciplinarità) che caratterizzava la ricerca sul postumano in senso spiccatamente tecnologico, orientandola primariamente verso le scienze hard (in particolare la cibernetica), si è aperta quindi anche a discipline come la biologia evoluzionistica e l’etologia, dove il post del postumano viene dunque a segnalare anche il superamento (o il progressivo sgretolarsi) della dicotomia umano/animale.
