Il paradigma perduto

Abstract

Abstract – Starting from a critical reading of the current historical moment, this article engages in the recognition of a poetic paradigm, questioning how it can be relevant in guiding the ongoing transitions in society to foster that which is good and just for humans and non-humans. This poetic paradigm, inherited from the Greek world, appears to have diminished in meaning and value over the years due to neglect by the western world. In pondering the need for a rediscovery of this paradigm, the discourse considers the contribution that can come from questioning AI; which, if understood in its potentialities and limitations, can be of use in re-knowing and re-evaluating what is proper to human beings and thus safeguarding humanity at such a complex time as the present.
