The pamphlet Ferrarotti

What will save us from the technique? Franco Ferrarotti, the answer is clear: art. Where the subjective form of knowledge becomes a shared heritage, the social fabric. To carry the argument, to extol "the artistic act 'as' act of love," is a booklet by the famous Italian sociologist, slender and full of rhythm: Art, Science, Society (Editions for art, 13 €). A real look into the controversial pamphlet of the twentieth century, in the name of a restructuring of the human in its complexity, mortified by so many ideological reductionism of the past century. From idealism, but also, by historical materialism.
one anti-social conception of the artist, be more able to perceive the universal in the particular, and other bodies that deny the irreplaceable value of the subject. "The reconstruction of" social "and" individual "- writes Ferrarotti - a closer look is a false problem, as it is conceivable a society where individuals and do not give individuals without society. " From this assumption, it unravels the thread of the book: the artist manipulates reality and entrusts his creations aesthetic appreciation of others. Empathy allows users to take and the work of art to transform the individual work of the artist, his subjective view of the world, in social knowledge. "The artistic act - Ferrarotti writes - is the gap in the net saving technicized impersonal society."
art, so is knowledge able to defeat the ideological rationalism of the positive sciences, it is not intended to be objective but to be shared. Limit does not fear and insecurity, but lies within the dimension sensitive. It is an anti-dogmatic humanism which, like the Renaissance, it allows for knowledge (science included) to keep the empirical complexity of things. The dense rows of pamphlet evoke concepts, texts and protagonists of the twentieth century, from Marc Augé Joseph Rykwert and Italian Emilio Garroni. It denounced the disappearance of art by contemporary society. "The true artist is hiding - writes Ferrarotti - Advance your way 'technical serial reproduction of works of art. "Docile to the capricious gust of fashion and the seductions of the market."
