FRANCESCO D’EPISCOPO (University of Naples Federico II, 2023)
Synergies The Eleatic School, the Medical School, the Empathic School: the cultural triangle of the territory of Salerno, from Parmenides to Lerro
It now seems that the decisive and concrete moment has come to join and to coordinate, rather than to divide and separate, as today, in most cases, they are proposals, prospects, and creative and critical drives, linked to specific territorial realities, places, and characters, that have marked, and continue to mark, the story of an overall and joint relaunch of their most authentic and authoritative motivations. We are the sons of Parmenides, born at Elea (Velia, then Ascea). The extraordinary example he set as a philosopher, poet, and doctor can and must establish the basis for a movement that unites the arts and confirms the fundamental principle of feeling by thinking and by thinking to feel on which Giambattista Vico lay the foundations of his “new” science. Our proposal (started by the leader and founder of Empathism, Menotti Lerro, who, as in his creative work, shows himself always to be a worthy heir to the great predecessors) is to re-found this movement, linking it to another prestigious movement, the Southern School of Salerno, which, during the Middle Ages, along with Montpellier, a French city that our Italian city is twinned with, represents an indispensable beacon of interdisciplinary culture, where the same medicine claimed a space—not autonomous, but shared with other disciplines—aimed at healing the soul as well as the body. All this, to which much more could be added, in modern and contemporary times had to converge and flow into the great sea of “empathy.” This is a gift that in life is reserved for all those who—endowed with a culture to share with others and, above all, a marked sensitivity to grasp common elements, and precisely those people who can share—tend to experience the processes of collaboration and of aesthetic, ethical, and operational conjunction. In this sense, the school is intimately and intensely connected with life, and not so much and not only institutionalized and regularly practiced life, but life that is invented, putting it in close relation to the triple, cultural, hereby-indicated direction. |
