Senator of PRC denies being among the "revisionists"
Valpiana: "The 180 can not be touched and should be applied: the law is the best in Europe '
Alessandro Antonelli
Over all we had tried Francesco Storace, during his meteoric appearance at Ministry of Health before being sucked into the scandal Laziogate and dispose of the interim by Berlusconi, until the capitulation of April. Replace hand to 180, the law "Basaglia" which in 1978 had closed the asylums. Stopped at the last attempt by the center, with the support of the entire civil society with the exception of some combination of family members of mentally ill people, desperate (and sometimes innocently) convolti a risky play by the electoral Morituri government.
A clash of civilization, in short, has so far prevented any threats restorers to turn into facts. But the controversy reinvigorates seasonally. And even when there is not, there is always someone who is responsible for a restart. Like yesterday, through a bold and creative reconstruction by of a news agency - which, unfortunately, has "misled" even our newspaper ("Reforming the 180? cattocomunista Proposal") - has included among the "revisionists" the senator of the Communist Refoundation Tiziana Valpiana, a member of the Senate Committee on Health , next to Mrs Paola Binetti, movement science and life, in an unbelievable restyling. Dry Valpiana
refutation of "The journalist who asked me a question about the need to change the law Basaglia I said absolutely not. The 180 is one of the best laws in the country, an achievement of civilization that are the envy across Europe. " The real weak point in case, thinks the senator, its application is stunted, "Beyond the sacrosanct closing of mental hospitals, the law was little and badly applied, were never made available the necessary resources to tackle the problem in the area. We do not want families to feel isolated. "
Mental health complex and sensitive, which is likely to overflow at each leap in the vast sea of \u200b\u200berrors and misunderstandings, some generated in good faith, others, like yesterday, definitely not. The Turkish Minister Livia had the courage to take up the challenge, putting the issue of psychological suffering among the first items on the agenda of his department. The perspective is that of an adaptation of the health facilities to meet the hardships faced by patients and their families, who sometimes feel abandoned to themselves without resources and providing for an effective treatment that replace the barbaric institution of psychiatric prisons. How to disagree? But that does not mean distorting the 180, perhaps to introduce surreptitiously other "containers institutional and proceed in the wake of apartheid. Hypothesis emphatically rejected by the Democratic Psychiatry: 'It is inconceivable - explains the national secretary Emilio Lupo - someone preach the abandonment of the 180 just as many European countries try to adapt to the guiding principles of law Dr. The real problem is to invest in public health, doing to contribute more actors, State, local authorities, third sector and volunteering in a project in which the patient's family is not left alone, but have a daily backup. All this - concludes Wolf - must be made with adequate resources that enhance health professionals'.
resources, it is true, but also a new way of looking at mental illness and its various manifestations, as suggested by Senator Valpiana, focusing more on prevention: "It's not just about treatment of mental illness in recent years have increased the disturbances in eating habits and depression: This is to prevent such conduct through reconstitution of a social culture. " The object of
dispute, yet another summer hit, the Union's program there is no mention of the desire to upset the system of 180, a law that scholars have revolutionized our culture but also social health, and returned dignity to the sick person and no more prisoners.

Democratic Psychiatry: absurd to lock up the "diseases"
Reform Basaglia if anything is waiting to be accomplished
of Louis Attanasio and Angelo Di Gennaro
From the article "Reforming the 180? - Proposed captive-Communist Liberation appeared on August 9 we learn to say the least surprised that the debate on the revision of 180 is open, but this time not from a right pre-election period aimed at collecting some of the few family votarello unfortunately become sterile instrument of propaganda, but senior figures in the center-left majority. A
then nothing is worth the effort to stop the project right after the time limit approved by the Hygiene and Health - Minister Storace - which planned to return to a form of manicomializzazione more or less veiled? For us, however, the situation is clear already from 1978 and we have strongly advocated, no ifs, ands or buts, in an article entitled "The new government to restart Basaglia" always appeared on Liberation May 13 last year. With the 180, the law of assistance and care, but also of civilization and democracy, it is desired to express the outrage of civil society that has refused so any kind of segregation in the name of human right to existence of cultural, political, psychological and social.
not want it to hand or tamper with the 180 for three reasons. The first: the government's program Prodi page. 186 states that "the applicant attempted to return to the past and re-manicomializzazione mental health must be rejected in whole by applying the law 180", why not do it, then, instead of dealing with right now to reform the 180? What sense, if not to be - perhaps - the result of a maneuver referred to arbitration without knowing the design more generally?
The second: it is good to know that dealing with mental illness is not only an act of "clinical" is one way to know the world and the quality of human relationships that develop between them, shut up and hide these reports, although "sick" , in a kind of mental qualsisi means of depriving a valuable way to learn, deplete and reduce our tools to live healthy lives. Psychiatrist Democrats want us to continue to assist the public with the current organizational structure, the territorial departments of mental health, improved like everything in life, but not to upset with the opening of new containers institutional (residential hard) instead of land resources interconnected to the context of life and work, we also want to know the world through the eyes of many people who have accompanied us and accompany us in this long journey: people, families, administrators, ordinary citizens and Democrats. Delete the 180 means for us to reverse a course that has allowed to victims of crimes of peace, "objects" of violence, to become agents of their own care and their lives. The third
: July 13 - as well stated Robert Musacchio always on Release of July 14 - ended with a "yes" by a large majority in the Committee on Environment and Health of the European Parliament, the vote on the report Bowis for mental health, document which represents a decisive step towards a future without asylums in European Union countries, the report follows the approval of the EU Green Paper where mental health is considered a fundamental condition for the welfare of the citizens and therefore a right to be guaranteed to all, and is largely inspired by the Italian experience Basaglia law, the 180, which closed the asylums. This report was also made a trip about a year ago at the European Parliament in Strasbourg from "44 crazy people" - including us - when, by Giovanni Berlinguer and Roberto Musacchio, become sensitized MEPs Borrell and the president to approve a formal recommendation to the Member States.
For all this we say no to any form of review of the 180, but rather claim its full implementation.

The Tao of Capitalism and the Chinese challenge
EAST AND WEST
What is the secret of the psychological economic spectacular leap of China today? An essay by François Jullien sinologist on the 'China effect' tries to answer evoking the ancient Eastern philosophy
Bruno Gravagnuolo
Japan must take seriously, it was said in the past decades. And Taken Seriously Japan was the title of a famous essay by Ronald Dore, a sociologist at the London School who invited us to the end of the 80 Japanese to understand the miracle, able to spread the Western economy thanks to its ingredients: total quality, welfare and Asian Zen Buddhism. Since then much water has passed under the bridge. Japan went into crisis under the weight of several factors: high costs of welfare, finance, restructuring of Western economies. And among the Asian Tigers jumped to first place as China, tiger not only Asian but global. Pace of development and consumption of raw materials such as to upset the equilibrium of the world economy. Of course, not a day goes by that emphatic business commentators on the scene failed to weave the wonders of modern China after the Tien An Men. The one that now rivals New York skyline with the skyscrapers, and vomiting million m blocks of buildings in the old and new cities. And the costs of producing tons of infinitesimally small markets on the planet. And therefore what the commentators do not tell, as well as appalling human costs - from state violence to special classes for the better at school - is "the imaginary secret" of the great leap. The chemistry of old and new thoughts, and influential ideas that govern deep impulses.
'Taken Seriously China "rather than Japan, then it should be the imperative of cross-cultural today. And not for food on the ancient ghosts of yellow peril and neoetnicista League coinage. To magnify or terrifying "honors" of records to produce a lazy scorn of European economies. Tedious task of clear Liberal brand. But to capture the thoughts of the giant, his emotional rationality. The result of a cultural substratum old, able to colonize and assimilate within it the Western rationality, uses it to make a spectacular explosion of power. A good way to begin, following the method of Dore, is the reflection of a great sinologist that is both philosopher François Jullien, historian of philosophy at the University of Paris-Saint Denis. That China has spent an entire lifetime with the foot in both camps. Poised between Eastern and Western thought, and increasingly elsewhere, the act of staying in one of two "poles." Jullien, plus a lover of aesthetics and psychology, held last year a series of lectures on China, for the benefit of Western managers working in that vast arena. It has made a wise agile and accurate in the guise of inner travelogue for anyone who wants to approach the people of the 'Middle Kingdom' (as he calls himself the imperial China the center of everything known). The essay is titled Thinking effectiveness (Yale University Press, pp. 102, Euro 10). It is an attempt to penetrate the logic of success aimed at purposes, from a Chinese point of view. That is the logic of efficient practice, the successful work of strategic success in China. From the war, politics, economics, business, and any other transformation process.
Sapienza indirect
commensurate with this scale - an abstract but very real, Jullien we show as a sort of Matteo Ricci in the act of advancing in the psyche of Chinese philosophy. With no small difference that while the Jesuit Macerata is torn between awe and anxiety apostolic intelligent, our secular scholars wonder that he placed a long time. And if anything, descending into a full ancestral Chinese mentality, makes us feel the wonder that today a Chinese test yet for the Western mind, although it is also used to having to use. In the bottom of Jullien is a unique experiment: tear to his roots (the West). For riapprodarvi eye changed, returning to recognize them after they have been abandoned. What is the key concept on which Jullien keeps on hitting? It is the huge difference between two types of rationality. In the first, western, action is guided by an abstraction formalizing the daughter of a logical or a priori conceptions of deductive / inductive, and projected into the future. Vice versa in the second practice is a process nourish. Of the factors supporting a finding and "winds" that move transformations. To "surf" on them - so says Jullien - and finally landed on the shore, sull'abbrivio the forces involved. Thus, a Part of the objectives set and planning will Aristotelian teleology, which bends itself time and speeds away in the forecast. Indirect knowledge of the other, which makes folding lines of fate undecided and open, "inclined" to be fulfilled as it is. The key example is that Jullen mobilizes the art of war and martial arts. Where Von Clausewitz plans, provides extrabellici factors include upstream and downstream, the General Tao "says, wait. Examines the way of realizing the potential opponent to his advantage in order to decompose and hoarding power or momentum badly used (the enemy). It is the same law of Kung Fu, Taoist art par excellence, nice art. Where victory is assured lord balances and imbalances. Aiming to crack the dynamic center of gravity of the antagonist and twisting its aggressive push against him. Dominating the laws of gravity. Sure
Taoism does not know the laws of universal gravitation as well as the Newton has known, mathematical. But certainly a couple of millennia guess that matter is made of suspended solids with acceleration, motion and trajectory. In addition to electromagnetic charge. It is in virtue of this intuition that the proceeds for quakes and become a Taoist adjustments aimed at peace and the restoration of balance constantly changing. Well why the master of the Tao-Lao Tzu which in Chinese means "the way, transformative process," is a kind of perpetual dialectic circle where the sky meets the earth. And where time is only the illusion of becoming the rebound on the threshold of consciousness. So that every event has already happened, only one of the many repetitive mode 'happened' as possible.
The possibilities of Heaven
is why the Chinese general, Sun Tzu says in his Art of War (IV-V century BC.), Not battle, if not trascinatovi. Do not force the situation. Do not declare victory nor emphatically proclaimed victorious. He says Jullien, is only the executor of one of possibilities offered by Sky. Heaven is not an unfathomable mystery, but the specific configuration of forces that has been created according to the immanent necessity of circumstances. And in the end the victory is only as a final master stroke. Operations as a sanction an epilogue to the circumstances well attended to push. There is no metaphysics, and even in all these (Fritjof Capra explained it well). But fate of the ductile domain, waiving the rhetoric of the "great personality." And above all there is completion of a cosmic balance, reduced in size in the case of battle or particular firms. Again, no future in this vision. No pro-meteismo (no métis / cunning applied to the future). No forecasting or triumph of the will. On the contrary, Wu Wei, says Lao-Tzu. Do not. But inaction is not as absolute, but as that "do not, so something is done and that nothing so" not "be done." That is, according to the double negative is not unknown to China - so that it is doing anything but "waiting."
Via dualisms?
Well you may say, via the western dualisms, by the Platonic-Aristotelian logic schematics, design abstractions via the Enlightenment. It, however, two objections. The first: it is not very well known even to the dialectic of Western thought? The logic of the dialectic processes that sees "the basic factor of all" sequences than deductive and insulators? Hegel at the end he did not have almond-shaped eyes? And with him they were not the case Spinoza and Vico, and the historical and romantic? And the other objection: the China of today has not made its way into the Western technical and obsessive? Jullien and respond to one another objection, but not exhaustively. By noting first that succinctly and 'indirect' rationality of the Chinese even if there was us, was episodic and not continuous in the Western tradition. The wisdom and polymorphous "hermeneutics" of Ulysses would be so happy just the trace of an archaic and West 'pre-Socratic " (But is not it!). And as for Hegel is ... Only one swallow does not make a summer.
contrast, the response should be another, quite in keeping with the rest of the argument Jullien. What makes the difference between Hegel and Lao-Tse in fact the case is not the dialectic of the One elusive, neither the concept of "void", the German philosopher who is "merely" continuing the destruction of isolated individual moments of becoming. Instead, it is a real difference to the Subject: consciousness. That is, the "memory of psycho-logic" in Hegel summarizes and stores already happened and who rules on the return of time eternal. There is room in the western Hegel for a future government, which holds within itself (as a 'system') around the world that gradually takes place. Where in the Tao, as in Zen Buddhism, forgetful of wisdom prevails and the deconstructionist perennial forms of quotas, including the arrogance of reason abstracting. Becoming Taoist replay again and again his game, shatters the ego, and prescribes a Teh, a virtue to keep seeing his "communality" to move heaven, where opposites chase and ask to be deciphered all over again (light and dark, yin and yang). Perhaps there is a certain kinship with the Taoist philosophy of Heidegger, who in 1945 began translating the book millennial de I Ching . It is a philosophy that Heidegger's Being that extracts (such as "empty link" between the entities) from the cage of language, taking heed of the "truth as no concealment," a-letheia that "speaks" and the subject does not match never with them. And then another common feature is undoubtedly the 'do' in the sense mentioned above. So Wu wei Chinese Gelassenheit Heidegger as a "letting be" or "lasciatezza ', which is not' doing nothing '.
riding technique
But it is time to come to another issue: the unbridled use of technology by China. How does one reconcile with Taoism and Confucianism with, of which there is a strong plus rediscovery in China today? Presto said. The post-Maoist Chinese have realized that the world is the basic factor of globalism. And the market, which destroyed the USSR, but can save China. In what way? Dominating, introjected. Seconding the expansion for the sheer technical power, the planetarium in the world wishes to be indulged at all costs. So that for China now is like building a gigantic dam, shaping individuals on the extent of Necessity Celeste. Therefore, using the conservative and hierarchical view of Confucius, the Great Harmony. Just as the intimate interpenetration with the need action of a typical effort, "zen", which adheres to the task with no distinction between active subject and object. In addition, the long economic tradition of oriental despotism - Community and efficiently - in order to plot beautifully, though grafted on 'Privat'. Yet - and here Jullien finds all its sharpness - there is a problem. Just the impersonal logic of the 'China effect' is absent in the inner light. Lacks the balanced calculation of the perverse effects triggered by the development paradoxically become Promethean. The post-Maoist China, in other words, blindly follows the expansive power in a world that has become smaller as global and chained. Cozza so against other imperialists know (consciously fanatics) and active energy imbalances, financial, internal and external. Eventually the lack of a transparent and democratic control project generates unseen accumulation of resistance, designed to explode on a global scale. The hope is that Jullien final of Europe, as a true "middle ground", then mediate culturally aware. Exporting cosmopolitan law and diplomatic wisdom, to promote stable security arrangements geopolitical and geo-economic. Subtle message? Yes, but so wise and his "oriental". Launched from a continent that has already experienced its catastrophe of civilization at the height of the confusion in the Sky 900.

THE PDCI winger RADICAL TO REIMBURSE YOU SAY 'surprise and Sorrowful And the Trotskyist FERRANDO "INCREDIBLE DRIFT'
Bertinotti's party National Alliance, 's wrath of the Communists
ROME. The participation of Fausto Bertinotti to the National Alliance of Youth Festival, scheduled in Rome on Sept. 16 sparked the brawl in the left. 'E' worst of the allegations of Salò on Luciano Violante, "thunders the PDCI MEP Marco Rizzo, that the decision of the President of the Chamber to participate in the confrontation with Gianfranco Fini" is just the latest stages of the forces that are bent Bertinotti PRC, in a relentless and unstoppable march towards decomunistizzazione party. " "To complete renunciation of Bertinotti - continues Rizzo - the latter just missing piece: the end of anti-." This is echoed by Senator Prc Fosco Giannini: "I remain puzzled, surprised and saddened - he says -: so fast we have come so far? One thing is the internal debate on which there may well be too bitter differences and comparisons. Another thing to liquidate their history, their roots. He added: "Why give legitimacy to the heirs of Salo? It is not enough in my opinion a Fiuggi to erase the history and the deaths of our people.
very critical of the Speaker of the House also the Trotskyists. Marco Ferrando, secretary of the Workers' Party and former member of the PRC, calls "shocking" the decision of the Speaker of the House and "unlimited drift in place of bertinotti. Along the same lines, Senator Franco Turigliatto Prc. "I would not go - he says - would keep separate the roles especially in this case where there are opposite political perspectives." Bertinotti defends instead the leader of the Communist Refoundation Senate Giovanni Russo Spena, that "as chairman of the House Bertinotti can not go because he was invited by a group in this parliament to take part in a debate cultural and not political. " It calls "Rizzo and those who think like him to be calm," because, he says, "the decision of the Speaker of the House there is no shadow of historical revisionism." And while
Francesco Storace says that "the attacks are not funny but Bertinotti indignant," and young Forza Italy called on "the majority and its political youth movements to forcefully condemn the wrongs of the radical left," Vittorio Sgarbi stresses that "the Young of the National Alliance are not Nosferatu. " "Because - ironically - the iron is not good that the reasons which goes Bertinotti could be like that of an apostle? That is, to induce conversion? If it is true that on page 154 of the 'Anthology of Poets fascists "is given a poem by Pietro Ingrao the thirteenth year of the fascist era, perhaps look in the young Bertinotti An Ingrao masked the third millennium. I just have to think - he concludes - that had not been for Ferdinand, Bobbio, Ingrao and Mouth would have been fascists. "
