Tutto in Tutto - The Interconnectedness of All Things
Offered By: TEDx via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the philosophical concept of "Tutto in tutto" (Everything in everything) in this 19-minute TEDxMacerata talk by Filippo Mignini. Delve into the Western philosophical formula expressing the highest degree of "connection" between things, where each element inherently contains all others. Examine the dissolution of the assumption that things are substances existing independently, and discover how the crisis of the notion of substance in early modern philosophy led to its replacement with the idea of relation or node of forces. Learn how these forces express determined modalities of a single absolute power, the only true substance. Understand how every "thing" is an expression of this unique immanent power, making everything identically present in everything else. Gain insights from Mignini, a professor emeritus of History of Philosophy at the University of Macerata and a member of the Accademia dei Lincei, known for his expertise in modern thought, particularly Spinoza, and his extensive work on Matteo Ricci and Romolo Murri.
