Relativism grants poor overall direction, however. We see its results as a Pixar movie with the occasional horror interlude (or the other way around).

Enter our glorious post-philosophical age - the long struggle to achieve truth, method, logos, reason, etc. yielding to local narratives and reasonable agreements on a neo-pragmatic basis... Relativism grants poor overall direction, however. We see its results as a Pixar movie with the occasional horror interlude (or the other way around). In front of the global community of diversities, the judicious relativist faces the future as a rather blind journey. An all-encompassing grasp is still what one intelligent being is entitled to look for and should care about. The postmodern demise of philosophy leaves a void that we had better fill with a new overall conception, one open to pluralism without giving up the kind of comprehensive understanding long sought by philosophers. A primary convergence of concepts below a seedbed of welcome difference is what prosophy attends to.

Autorenporträt
Italian by family and citizenship, I was born (1950) in San Marino, SM. Got my PhD from Bologna 'Alma Mater' in 1974 with a master thesis on the education of James Joyce. Teacher in San Marino public schools, first in junior high (Italian, History and Geography, 1974-1995), then in high school (History and Philosophy, 1995-2010) until retirement. During my teaching years I have been active in individually-tailored teaching aids for Down children, action-research, educational counselling, and unbiased evaluation. Since retiring I focused on elemental biography, or the conceptual basics of inclusiveness: the most comprehensive meditation a human being can offer on being alive, no matter who's living what, when, where and why. Four of my essays on this widest of subjects are available here on Smashwords. A fifth essay also on elemental biography, Genesi. L'origine qui e ora, is soon to be published, here or elsewhere, in early 2025. Other works: Parentesi, 1983, a collection of poems; Ripeness Is All, 2012, a 15m-long walk-on carpet showing 125 pictures in five tableaux; La cura di sé (in giovane età), 2018, a bildungsroman; Epidrammi, 2023, collected poems (1972-2022).
