Bøker av Francesco Belfiore

This work, with its seemingly provocative title (In Praise of Imprecision), consists of a philosophical reflection that tends to show, in simple and clear language, that all human activities, whether in the sphere of thinking (ideas), feeling (feelings), or acting (actions), are characterized by imprecision. This is true both for activities directed at "single" objects or events, and for activities directed at "classes" of objects or events, including most scientific statements. But imprecision turns out to be of great benefit to all human activities, because it allows us to deal with an immense amount of data that would be impossible if we were striving for precision. Of course, there are different degrees of imprecision, but the degree of imprecision suitable for human nature can only be defined imprecisely. Because of the relevance of the topics covered, this book may be of interest to philosophers and all those who enjoy cultural insights.

The Triadic Structure of the Mind provides a philosophical system that offers fresh solutions in the fields of ontology, knowledge, ethics, and politics. The second edition includes a more extensive treatment of the topics addressed in the first edition, the introduction of new concepts, and the inclusion of additional thinkers.

This book represents a unique attempt to restore a 'new-classical' aspiration towards a philosophical system able to provide some certainties. Using the distinctive feature of presenting an original and complete philosophical system, author Francesco Belfiore diverges from the philosophical literature of the last decades, which has been ever more focused upon specific fields.

This book explores the nature of human society and the justification of the democratic system, often charged with favoring numerousness over quality. Belfiore contrasts his views with those of other thinkers, which results in an original and exhaustive text that is useful for a better understanding of the democratic society.
