Only religious ethics can help achieve global environmental sustainability
Get PDFThis paper develops a theoretical framework for comparing religious ethics (from Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam) and secular ethics (based on duties vs. rights, current vs. future generations, humans vs. non-humans, intra- vs. inter-generational equity, teleological vs. deontological perspectives, anthropocentrism vs. biocentrism, cooperative vs. bargaining solutions, weak vs. strong sustainability, optimistic vs. current scenarios). I focused on the duties to nature (β) and future generations (γ), rights of future generations (δ), and aversion to intra- and inter-generational inequality (ε and ζ, respectively). To perform this analysis, I adopt an individual perspective to favor comparisons between religious and secular ethics. I also consider future scenarios for consumption preferences (α), population size (η), and improved technology (θ). I present empirical results for OECD and non-OECD countries, based on numerical simulations for current and maximum feasible parameter values and on statistical analyses for marginal reliable changes of parameters, within a single graphical framework. α, η, and θ are unessential for sustainability; β is beneficial but not feasible and unreliable in OECD countries; γ is detrimental in all countries; δ is beneficial, feasible and reliable in OECD countries, but inadequate; ε is detrimental and ζ is essential in all countries. The religious ethics were adequate, feasible and reliable for Hinduism or Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism

Promoting European active citizenship: a participatory intervention towards the politicization of youth social concerns
Get PDFDespite their normative and regulatory nature, schools, as contexts for democratic education, are also places for free discussion, critical analysis and imagining personal and societal change. Under the European project CATCH-EyoU, we developed a 2-years school-based intervention with a group of Portuguese secondary school students, inspired by the approach of youth participatory action research (YPAR). Having youths as co-researchers, both conventional (questionnaires and interviews) and emergent (theatre of the oppressed, photovoice) methods were mobilised to research dating violence, a problem previously identified by them as relevant in their community. The intervention process will be described, and its potential and limitations discussed

Lingue seconde e istituzioni. Un approccio storiografico
Get PDFIn 1832, Bachi published a work that is considered the first university grammar book of Spanish for learners of Italian, who were not Italian native speakers. It was dedicated to students of Harvard University (USA). As far as Italian is concerned – although there are some other previous texts (Spagnolo de Monaci and D'Ovidio 1879) – Egidio Gorra’s work (Lingua e letteratura spagnuola delle origini), published by Hoepli in Milan (1898), constitutes the first historical grammar book specifically dedicated to a higher-education audience. It is a work intended for students of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Pavia, which includes many of the typical features of a university textbook. The purpose of the paper is to consider this characterization in light of previous Spanish grammars for Italian speakers, highlighting those elements that distinguish it as a university textbook

Imparare la “seconda madrelingua” Il tedesco a Milano nella Scuola Germanica Istituto Giulia (1925-1993)
Get PDFBetween 1925 and 1993, the Istituto Giulia played an important role for German learning in Milan. Since it was founded and run by German nuns, German was a vehicular language from kindergarten to high school diploma and was taught as if it were the mother tongue. Most pupils being Italian, there were didactic problems partly solved with targeted strategies, especially at the nursery school and in the first primary classes, partly by relying on the initiative of individual teachers. Based on the material of the Congregation’s private archives and on the testimonies of teachers and students, this paper highlights some aspects of the teaching of German
Eliot, il potere temporale e quello spirituale. Con la traduzione di Murder in the Cathedral e il testo originale
Get PDF[Eliot, the temporal power and the spiritual one. With the translation of «Murder in the Cathedral» and its original text] Murder in the Cathedral was written by Eliot in 1935 and represented the same year in Canterbury. The chief character is the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Beckt, for a long time Chancellor of the King of England, Henry the Second. After a good friendship in the political questions, they didn’t accord on the relation between spiritual and temporal power. The spiritual power, from the point of view of Beckt, resigned as Chancellor of State, was the Pope’s power. I.e., a power that first is of God and then of Pope, a power that is higher of temporal power, a power that is the supreme guide for State and Church.
Beckt dies on December 29th, 1170. Four Knights kill him by their swords, in the name of King. So the temporal power, in spite of Middle Ages, triumphs on the spiritual power.
Dante and Shakespeare are still far-off. The Chorus, an another important character, expression of the poor people, closes the poetical drama with an invocation to God, Christ and Beckt
