Newman’s Concept of Natural Religion in the Oxford University Sermons
Summary: Il presente studio prende in esame la concezione della religione naturale del Card. John Henry Newman a partire dall’analisi degli Oxford University Sermons. Newman fu impegnato nella corretta comprensione della religione pagana come primo passo per evidenziare gli errori del liberalismo. Nell’articolo si cerca di mostrare gli aspetti che distinguono la concezione liberale di religione da quella di Newman sulla base dell’applicazione dei concetti newmaniani di “nozionale” e “reale”.
Parole chiave: Filosofia della religione, religione rivelata, religione naturale, liberalismo, John Henry Newman.

La morte di Socrate. Alcune riflessioni ricavate dall’Apologia di Platone
Summary: The year 2001 recalls the 2400th. anniversary of the condemnation and execution of Socrates. This work tries to glean from Socrates’ Apology, written by Plato, elements constantly present in Western Thought. After some initial considerations about the Socratic question and the documental value of the Platonic story, three fundamental ideas are presented in Socrates’ defence: the search for truth, the enigma of death and the importance of the soul, considered as the “I” and its call to live in justice. These are central ideas in the whole of human Thought that cannot be forgotten in the millennium that begins.
Parole chiave: Socrate, Platone, verità, sapere, morte, anima.

La coscienza situata come “polo opposto” della norma morale
Summary: In this paper, I examine the thought of Romano Guardini regarding human conscience and its consequences for moral theory. One specific feature of Guardini’s view of conscience is his focus on the concept of “situation”, which could make him appear close to the position of so-called “situation ethics”. However, situation is only one pole of reality, i.e., the subjective one, which as such requires another, objective pole – the norm. To explain this kind of relation I find the Guardinian image of “ellipse” particularly useful. Conscience cannot but be always located between the two foci of an existential ellipse: one’s own situation which requires certain action and the objective goodness of acts revealed in universal norms.
Key words: ethics, conscience, ellipse, situation.
