Natural history Science and ethics Theodicy Naturalism (philosophy) Science and literature Philosophy Violence Poetry and poetics 20th century Celan, Paul Sebald, Winfried Georg

Il libro intreccia una riflessione filosofica intorno al tema della distruzione nel Dopoguerra tedesco, a partire dall’opera poetica di Paul Celan e privilegiando il tema naturalistico presente nelle sue composizioni. Il saggio lascia emergere come quest’ultimo non si sviluppi casualmente, ma secondo una scelta accurata di naturalisti, e delle loro opere, interessati a un rapporto corpi/ ambiente che oggi chiameremmo simbiotico o sympoiesis (dipendenza tra tanti). Attraverso questa lente si interroga tanto la teodicea, quanto l’epistemologia della storia naturale (anzi, delle storie naturali), configurate attraverso usi letterari alternativi (la storia naturale di W.G. Sebald, per esempio), che danno invece corpo a un modello di narrazione oggettivo, documentario. Mettendo a confronto il modello oggettivista con quello poetico-esperienziale, il saggio dischiude una prospettiva ecologica ed etica sulla narrazione del trauma. Pur restando rigoroso nel metodo storico, non si rivolge a un pubblico di specialisti, ma a chi vuole affrontare il problema filosofico del male in senso laico. [Abstract translated by DeepL Translator: This is the abstract in English… The book weaves a philosophical reflection around the theme of destruction in postwar Germany, starting with the poetic work of Paul Celan and privileging the naturalistic theme present in his compositions. The essay lets it emerge how the latter does not develop casually, but according to a careful selection of naturalists, and their works, interested in a body/environment relationship that today we would call symbiotic or sympoiesis (dependence among many). Through this lens we interrogate both the theodicy and the epistemology of natural history (indeed, of natural histories), configured through alternative literary uses (W.G. Sebald's natural history, for example), which instead flesh out an objective, documentary model of narrative. By comparing the objectivist model with the poetic-experiential model, the essay uncovers an ecological and ethical perspective on the narrative of trauma. While remaining rigorous in its historical method, it is not aimed at a specialist audience, but at those who want to address the philosophical problem of evil in a secular sense.]
