Recensione a STEFANIA TARANTINO, άνευ μητρός - senza madre. L’anima perduta dell'Europa. María Zambrano e Simone Weil, Napoli, La scuola di Pitagora editrice, 2014
The Author treats the idea of Birth in European culture, way back up to the roots of european western thought, which is conceived as a thought without birth, or better, “without mother”, as the title says, from a verse of Euripides' Eumenides. Tarantino supports this thesis by analyzing two main female philosophers of XX century, María Zambrano and Simone Weil. In María Zambrano is underlined the idea of violence in western history, due to an original plan to build a “Civitas Dei” not only in contemplation, but in reality, to whom Zambrano opposes her poetic reason, “razón poetica”, that reveals the traces of an other underground way of thinking in European philosophy and literature. The book focuses then about Simone Weil's critics to western imperialism, based on both the roman imperialism and the jewish theology of domination. The exit way is through another way to think the action, as “non-acting-action”, reintroducing the concept of maternal birth giving in all its amazing transforming power.
