Thinking of Work

Editoriale inglese

Abstract

Spaziofilosofico begins its publication in January 2011 with an issue devoted to “Work.”

Once it would have been normal that a philosophy journal addressed such a theme; today, we think, it might be so again: there is more than ever a need to think of work.

Spaziofilosofico tries to fulfil this task by intersecting the tools of philosophical theory and politics; of practices (understood as dissemination of thought competence in the world) and philosophical historiography.

In doing so, Spaziofilosofico attempts the experiment of a theoreticity for everyone (the “open access” tool is part of such an experiment).

It is not a matter of popularizing. No one who contributes an essay to this journal will be asked to simplify. We do not believe in simplifications. We believe in the social and political relevance of thinking, which, in order to be relevant, must not by any mean cease being rigorous and, in order to be rigorous, must not pay for it with irrelevance.
