"Putnam, che è forse il più influente filosofo americano vivente, ha scritto questo articolo per il Sole 24 Ore-Domenica ...". "Peter Sloterdijk è indubbiamente uno dei maggiori filosofi contemporanei, almeno se consideriamo la sfera continentale...". "Emanuele Severino è uno dei maggiori filosofi contemporanei...". Si potrebbe continuare a lungo con citazioni del genere, pescando naturalmente anche fuori dello stagno della filosofia, di cui si stanno qui solo casualmente rimestando le acque. Quando la figura di un (presunto) sapiente ha un'epifania che il medium che la rende possibile vuole vendere come consolidata, se ne può stare certi: il superlativo relativo ricorrerà. E così, capita ogni giorno e talvolta più volte al giorno di ascoltare o di leggere "una delle più illustri poetesse", "il maggiore biologo", "l'astrofisico più autorevole", naturalmente "vivente", "contemporaneo", "della modernità", "The last of this century."
The assumption is that the giver of the superlative is capable of such judgments. In the face of those who heard or read it, if he makes it in any event sponsor. And since it knows the rules of good manners, officiates the ceremony always smugly. It adorns the superlative, often with adverbial expression. It is hyperbole, pretending to mitigate it with a "maybe" (the worship style, you know, are loth). Doubt creeps doing shows to deny, "undoubtedly".
--- In 1921, Albert Einstein landed in the United States, for the first time. Cheers and welcome to the mass demonstrations, never before in this form bestowed to a man of science, he became so "Albert Einstein: the greatest living physicist". And maturity (or only come in bright light) a matter of fate, perverse and paradoxical, knowledge and science in the Modern: do social fetish of new religions.
During the twentieth century, profited from the ideological perversion totalitarian systems of every color. There was no fascism whose (alleged) men of culture were not "the greatest contemporary X". There was the World Conference (today we would say overall) Cominform whose participants, "Intellectuals for Peace," were not all ipso facto awarded the superlative. Modesti composers of verses, colorful paintings were projected on Parnasi become so dusty, meanwhile, maybe, but from which no one then was instructed to recall them ever since, as needed, can always be useful. Mature Years of modernity and its farcical tragedies.
today, trying to profit from the fetish of modernity crumbling religions: totalitarian without even meaning to (which is the perfect way to be so). Obtuse considered liberal, indeed, as much from his singers (which is enough, apparently, reached the degree of totalitarianism) but by his opponents (who would want one even more).
The sky glittering eight-twentieth-century ideological stupidity has so changed in the obvious needs of the shopkeepers on the market and that, for having made ragioni di spettacolo, non per questo sono meno ideologiche. Anzi.
Come abito di scena del clown, dell'artista da circo, la forma linguistica del superlativo relativo attribuita dal presentatore al (presunto) sapiente di turno è così trascorsa dalla rappresentazione di una farsesca tragedia alle mille e poi mille repliche di una tragica farsa e le conferenze cominformiste grigio-metallo sono diventate colorati festival dei libri e di ogni branca dello scibile umano: "ed ora, signore e signori, dopo la più celebre contorsionista del Vecchio mondo, si esibirà davanti a voi il più grande trapezista del Nuovo...". Valeva la pena, cari i miei due lettori, di pagare il prezzo del biglietto che si è acquistato per assistere allo show this shabby company of strolling players which also happens, as the servants of the scene to join!
