Master's Degree in Philosophy at UNICAL. Independent researcher publishing on academic journals and presenting at conferences in Europe.

Individual lessons or packages of 5 lessons or 10 lessons among the following:

1. - The origins of Western Philosophy from its roots in Ancient Greek Paganism. Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey", Hesiod and the "Theogony" as a necessary background for understanding the birth of Philosophy. The theory of the oriental influence behind the beginning of critical thinking.

2. - Thales and the "Arkhé": how in the beginning there was water. Water in Homer, Hesiod, and Thales. Water in Near Eastern mythology. The concept of "Arkhé" and its relation to the idea of "archaic" and the science of "archeology".

3. - Pythagoras and Numbers. Pythagoras' Theorem. The Tetraktys. Pythagoreans and their unknown character. The mysteries of Mathematics. Oriental origins?

4. - Anaximander and the Apeiron. Apeiron and Hesiod's Chaos. Apeiron and Fate/Necessity. Apeiron and the Original Sin. Heidegger's reading of the fragment.

5. - Anaximenes and Air. The Greek concept of "Pneuma" and Owen Barfield's theory of Poetic Diction. Ruach in the Old Testament. Luce Irigaray and the Air-Oblivion.

6. - Heraclitus: the Fire of Logos; "War is a father to all"; "You may not wash twice in the same river". The union of the opposites. A Romantic Age parallel: William Blake and "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Heraclitus.

7. - Parmenides and the question of Being: "What exists must exist and cannot disappear; what does not exist cannot exist and cannot appear". Emanuele Severino. Philosophy and Poetry.

8. - Hempedocles and the Two "Arkhai": Love and Strife. Who said we should have a monarchy in principles? and other highlights of philosophical dualism (and pluralism).

9. - Anaxagoras and the "homoiomeriai": the little particles of which everything is comprised of. Did we mention pluralism? Can we talk about evolution in Anaxagoras? What about reincarnation or "metempsychosis"? What about Buddhism?

10. - Democritus and the atoms. Is it philosophy or science? A precursor of modern discoveries or an ancient Pre-Socratic thinker? Does Democritus fit well with his precursors?

Acerca de mí
I am a humble seeker of the truth and I love to be able to help others in the same search. I believe it does not have to be a cohercion to learn, but only following the path your own nature suggests. If you do not feel the wish to learn within you, what may even the perfect teacher do? And if you instead wish so, how can a poor teacher convince you to let it go? Therefore I, who am neither perfect nor the worst, only think my purpose is to let you realize what you want for yourself.
