What is Topology? The interview revolves around this concept, which first of all-according to Vitiello-points to a practice of thinking before than an hermeneutic theory. "Which ethos belongs to topology?" is the question which Vitiello raises. This point concerns the status of this prospective: which is the responsibility of philosophy if not to focus on the relationship of philosophical, moral and political thought with its own limit? *** Introduzione Con l'intervista a Vincenzo Vitiello, apriamo una finestra sulle più importanti espressioni che la filosofia italiana assume oggi riformulando e reinterpretando la tradizione classica e in particolare il grande tema dell'idealismo. Vincenzo Vitiello, formatosi all'Università "Federico II" di Napoli con una tesi su Benedetto Croce, e poi a lungo Professore di Filosofia teoretica all'Università degli Studi di Salerno, per poi passare all'Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele di Milano, è tra i più ...

In the second chapter of Analytic of Principles, Grundsätze are exhibited as synthetic judgements of pure understanding. In the explanation of the possibility of synthetic judgements there is at stake a special delimitation guaranteed on «principles that could effect a necessary renunciation of the right to dogmatic assertion» (A 768 B 796). A renunciation that will be completely reached at the time that the transcendental logic of truth will be articulated in the whole of pure principles, without which any empirical judgement or scientific knowledge will lose its objective connection and thus its truthful content. This necessary attribute is expressed by the definition of the pure rules of understanding, that are not only the unities influencing every unification of manifold, but «are rather even the source of all truth». By examining and comparing the second chapter of An. of Pr. and the Discipline of pure reason, my purpose is to note the specific ostensive nature of the proofs of transcendental and synthetic propositions and to demonstrate why this character is really meaningful in order to be able to articulate the faculty of pure reason making experience possible.

Quello rappresentato dallo statuto ontologico della stessa impresa critica e del suo esito trascendentale, nonché dal valore da attribuirsi alla sua pretesa veritativa.
