Publishing without perishing. Are there such things as “research products”?
No full textAt the end of Plato’s Phaedo, Socrates does not succeed in persuading Crito that the real Socrates is the Socrates who is now conversing and arranging the details of his argument, not the one whom he will soon see as a corpse. According to Ernst Cassirer, the philosopher is the one who knows how to die, by overcoming his individuality to participate in a universal conversation. Hence, while Crito’s Socrates has long become dust, Plato’s Socrates is still speaking to us: research is an unending process, not a competitive production of statical “research products”. If any research assessment is done à la Crito, by counting “products” and citations, academy may become so predatory and fraudulent that the difference between a respected scholar and an impostor faking his data would be just of degree, not of kind. And that the only viable route to open access, if any, would remain the grey road of administrative enforcement on scholars glad to be treated like zombies

Paradoxes of Open Access
No full textAim of my talk is to provide first of all a brief overview on the main problems related to OA in its currently different forms, in order to discuss more in detail some possible (partial) solutions, taking two fundamental questions in account: 1) which OA form should be preferred at the moment by young researchers, even considering the criteria underlying the evaluation (not only in Italy) of the quality of their scientific production, therefore of their career opportunities? 2) how should we evaluate the proposal of separating the editorial work of academic journals from the evaluation of the scientific quality of their papers, which should pertain to a public and independent authority

Stati Uniti ed Europa: sistema hobbesiano e sistema kantiano nelle relazioni internazionali
No full textUnited States and Europe nowadays do not share the same principles in foreign policy. Following the ideas of Robert Kagan, especially those contained in his book “Of Paradise and Power”, this work looks for the historical and ideological reasons of this situation. After the end of the World War Two, United States and Europe joined the Western bloc, in which the Americans held the leadership, economically and militarily. In this scenario, the Europeans were closely tied to American foreign policy, from which they drew benefits. When the Soviet Union faded away in 1991, the differences between United States and Europe increased. While the Americans live in a Hobbesian world, characterized by anarchy and the presence of dangerous and non-democratic states, the Europeans live in a “post-modern paradise”, where the “laws of the jungle” which are valid in the first one have been abolished in favor of co-operation between states and international law. This is possible for one reason only: while the Europeans realize the Kantian project of “Perpetual Peace”, the United States maintain their military pre-eminence, defending the European Union from external attacks and the dangers of international terrorism. Briefly, at the international level, exist a “zone of peace” and “zones of conflicts”. This can only lead to different ideological positions and a different conception of the use of the force
