Libertà situata: la libertà oltre il libero arbitrio
No full textStarting from an analysis of the phenomenology of free action, this paper proposes a hypothesis on the functioning of the mechanisms of choice and a critical analysis of the concepts that sub-stantiate the idea of free will: will, indifference, indecision, personal identity, and deliberation. The absence of concrete experiential evidence concerning free will leads to the formulation of the idea of ‘pseudo-determinism’, and an analysis of the Spinozian theory of freedom introduces a brief illustration of the concept of ‘situated freedom’, the freedom left once the traditional conception of free will has been put aside, based on the awareness of the necessity that governs events as a means of satisfying one’s fundamental will to pursue pleasure and escape pain
After the “New Marx Reading”
Full text linkMichael Heinrich’s book The Science of Value marks a second generation of a reading of Capital known as the “New Marx Reading,” which began in West Germany in the late 1960s in the context of the student movement. This “new” reading is now 60 years old, and M. Heinrich’s book over 30 years old. The following comments are to be understood as an immanent critique that seeks to confront this reading with its implications, and seeks to make explicit its consequences, ones which the author has drawn elsewhere and explained in greater detail. The comments mainly concern the fixation on commodity exchange and money as a means of exchange. The necessity of a unity of money and value, on the other hand, can be understood through the technique of measure and measurement; in this way the capitalist determination of this unity can also be understood
Del diritto alla tecnica. Stiegler e la politica della memoria oltre lo stato di fatto
Full text linkThe title and subtitle of the paper purport to summarise the three phases of Stiegler's thought, techno-logical, pharmacological and neganthropological, and at the same time the title intends to exhibit the differential trace of the relationship with Derrida and deconstruction, from which Stiegler develops his ‘politics of memory’. In the first chapter, we will show the Stieglerian attempt to think technique beyond anthropocentrism and instrumentality, which consists in developing an alternative to the philosophical tradition, and which has epiphylogenesis or artificial memory as its main concept and Epimetheus as its conceptual character. In the second chapter we will describe the characteristics of the ‘politics of memory’ elaborated by Stiegler in his second phase, in which he develops a new critique of political economy focused on the pharmacological role of technology. In the third chapter, we will show the meaning of a possible ‘right to technology’, which in Stiegler's perspective would be intrinsically related to a ‘duty of philosophy’ caused by the urgency of the planetary condition. Finally, in the fourth chapter, we will stress the relation between ‘state of fact’ and ‘state of law’, in the third phase of Stiegler’s thought

Prospettive storico - giuridiche sulla transumanza nel territorio della X regio
Full text linkLo studio della transumanza nel mondo antico presenta numerosi profili di interesse; da un lato, vi è la rilevanza economica del fenomeno, legato allo sfruttamento della pastorizia, mentre dall’altro, si pu. riconoscere una rilevanza latu sensu amministrativa del fenomeno, legata invece alla gestione vera e propria dei terreni adibiti a pascolo, al loro regime giuridico e ai rapporti che il transitare degli armenti e/o delle greggi creava, ivi compreso l’insorgere di eventuali controversie. Gli aspetti qui analizzati, con particolare riferimento alla centralità della nozione di saltus come unità fondamentale per la configurazione di una transumanza in senso tecnico, coinvolgono necessariamente un approccio storico e giusromanista, ma si pongono altres. in relazione con le declinazioni moderne del fenomeno transumante e della gestione territoriale: lo scopo è quello di fornire un focus sulle prospettive storico - giuridiche della transumanza nel territorio della X regio, per meglio comprendere quale sia lo spazio, ora, di questa antica pratica pastorale
Teaching history in high school: a didactical challenge and a chance of changing.
Full text linkIt can be said that teaching history today, especially in secondary schools, is complex, at least for two reasons: the lack of specific training for teachers, who rely too much on textbooks and traditional lectures, and, consequently, a teaching approach that is far from a hands-on, research-based model. This more active and engaging way of teaching history would bring Italian students closer to the subject, which is often considered distant and, at times, useless. To assess the state of history education, an online survey was sent to teachers from 18 secondary schools in the Udine area, and the data was subsequently analyzed: some results were surprising, such as the interest in historical events, while others were already known, such as the lack of professional development courses.Si può affermare che insegnare la storia oggi, soprattutto nelle Scuole secondarie, sia complesso, almeno per due motivi: la mancanza di una formazione specifica per gli insegnanti, che si affidano troppo ai libri di testo e alle lezioni tradizionali, e, di conseguenza, un approccio didattico lontano da un modello pratico e basato sulla ricerca. Questo modo più attivo e coinvolgente di insegnare la storia avvicinerebbe gli studenti italiani a una disciplina spesso considerata distante e, a volte, inutile. Per valutare lo stato dell’insegnamento della storia, è stato inviato un sondaggio online ai docenti di 18 scuole secondarie della provincia di Udine, e i dati sono stati successivamente analizzati: alcuni risultati sono stati sorprendenti, come l’interesse per gli eventi storici, mentre altri erano già noti, come la mancanza di corsi di aggiornamento professionale

Full text linkThe Elasticity of the Presidential Role: Political Crises and Institutional Transformations in Federal Germany
Full text linkThe role of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany was shaped in the aftermath of the Hindenburg shock. The Weimar Constitution, by failing to clearly delineate the limits of presidential authority, paved the way for the disaster of 1933. Consequently, the framers of the Basic Law prioritized defining the President’s powers primarily in negative terms. In contrast, the Constitution left the President’s positive powers largely undefined, creating a discretionary space that has since been shaped through practice, with a strong emphasis on the Chancellor’s role. Nevertheless, the President has played a crucial role in the nation’s political education, particularly through speeches and public statements, which have proven decisive during times of crisis. Alongside the power of speech, the President’s activism in government formation and potential Bundestag dissolution underscores an increasingly interventionist role, suggesting the growing centrality of the Federal President in Germany’s political system.La figura del Presidente della Repubblica Federale di Germania è stata plasmata a partire dallo shock Hindenburg. La Costituzione di Weimar non delimitando in modo netto i limiti dell’intervento presidenziale, aveva di fatto spianato la strada al disastro del 1933. La priorità del costituente è stata delimitare i poteri del presidente, definendoli in un’accezione pressoché negativa. Per quanto riguarda i poteri positivi del Presidente, la Costituzione lascia uno spazio discrezionale, che è stato colmato con la prassi, la quale ha posto l’accento sulla figura del Cancelliere. Ciò nonostante, il Presidente ha svolto un importante ruolo di educazione politica della Nazione, che si è esplicato in discorsi ed esternazioni pubbliche, le quali sono state decisive in momenti di crisi. Accanto al potere di esternazione, va considerato l’interventismo del Presidente nella formazione del governo e nei casi di un possibile scioglimento del Bundestag. Questo crescente interventismo fa ipotizzare una centralità crescente della figura del Presidente federale
