Ulysse et son double
Get PDFOdysseus’s dual personnality, both positive and negative, reflects the dual personnality of the god Hermes, the god in which opposite forces are united. So he faces recurrently «doubles» reproducing the dark face of his contradictory personnality, namely Thersites and Dolon in the Iliad, and Iros in the Odyssey (it is also the ground for the final fight against the Suitors) : he hits them, hurts them or possibly eliminates them (in Plautus’s Amphitryon, Hermes-Mercurius does the same with his double, Sosius, Amphitryon’s servant).

Placing the novel within the history of secularity reveals that Crusoe can tolerate Roman Catholics because their religion is represented in Protestant terms. In his global travels, an implicit Protestantism shapes his understanding of “religion”, which cannot accommodate idolaters. To promote a proper form of religion that he can tolerate, Crusoe turns to violence.In Daniel Defoe’s The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719), the Protestant protagonist treats Roman Catholics with a friendly tolerance, which seems at odds with his violence towards idolaters.

IL GOVERNO DELL’OPINIONE. L’EPISTEMOLOGIA POLITICA DI DAVID HUME
No full textThe essay analyses David Hume’s political epistemology by focusing on the issue of “general opinion” in its relationship with the questions of political obligation and of the production and infraction of order. Opinion emerges as the keystone of a new conception of politics in which a communicative vision of society redefines both the tasks of government and the concept of order. While government is supposed to protect order, it results in facts as its product.
