The Democratic Ethos: An Interview with Alessandro Ferrara
No full textIn his recent book ‘The Democratic Horizon’ (2014), political philosopher Alessandro Ferrara analyses democracy from a critical philosophical perspective in relation to globalisation and economic crisis. Ferrara’s earlier work has mostly focused on grounding notions of ethics and identity in contemporary pluralist society. In this interview, a connection between the areas is sought while the subjects of education and the clash of cultures are also touched on.</jats:p

Representation redux:A rejoinder to Alessandro Ferrara
Full text linkAlessandro Ferrara has raised four sets of issues about the model of legal order I have developed in my earlier writings, issues which, in his view, remain problematic, despite my reply to his earlier comments. Each of these issues leads back, from different perspectives and with different accents, to the key notion of representation. This rejoinder fleshes out more fully how representation sheds light on legal ordering as an authoritative politics of boundaries, exploring points of convergence and divergence with Ferrara’s judgment-centered theory of legal ordering
Giudizio estetico, morale e cancel culture a partire dall\u27opera di Alessandro Ferrara
Full text linkAlessandro Ferrara\u27s moral philosophy is centered on the concept of “exemplarity”, that is conceived of as an aesthetic notion. I aim to use this kind of approach, that I interpret relying on the reference to the inductive inference, in order to deal with the issues of the “cancel culture”.Alessandro Ferrara\u27s moral philosophy is centered on the concept of “exemplarity”, that is conceived of as an aesthetic notion.

Rousseau and Critical Theory
No full textInRousseau and Critical Theory, Alessandro Ferrara argues that among the modern philosophers who have shaped the world we inhabit, Rousseau is the one to whom we owe the idea that identity can be a source of normativity (moral and political) and that an identity’s potential for playing such a role rests on its capacity for being authentic. This normative idea of authenticity brings unity to Rousseau’s reflections on the negative effects of the social order, on the just political order, on education, and more generally, on ethics. It is also shown to contain important teachings for contemporary Critical Theory, contemporary views of self-constitution (Korsgaard, Frankfurt and Larmore), and contemporary political philosophy.</jats:p
Interview with Alessandro Ferrara: Political Liberalism and Democracy as a Global Horizon
No full textAlessandro Ferrara is Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata), and former President of the Italian Association for Political Philosophy. He is the founder and Director of the Colloquium Philosophy & Society in Rome and the Director of the Center for the Study of Religions and Political Institutions in Post-Secular Society at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Since 1991 Alessandro Ferrara has been a Director of the Yearly Conference on Philosophy and Social Science in Prague (formerly held at the Interuniversity Centre of Dubrovnik), and since 2007 he is on the Executive Committee of the Istanbul Seminars on Religion and Politics, held under the auspices of the Association Reset - Dialogues of Civilizations. He has lectured in a number of universities and institutions, including Harvard University, Columbia University, Yale University, New School for Social Research, University College London (UCL), Oxford University, the Chinese Academy of Social Science and many others. Alessandro Ferrara's work revolves around the formulation of an authenticity- and judgment-based account of normative validity, which by way of incorporating a post-metaphysically reconstructed version of the normativity of Kant's 'reflective judgment', could be immune to antifoundationalist objections and yet represent a viable alternative to the formalism of standard proceduralist accounts of normative validity. He is the author of Modernity and Authenticity. A Study of the Social and Ethical Thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1993 (transl. into Italian); Reflective Authenticity. Rethinking the Project of Modernity, 1998 (transl. into Italian and Spanish); Justice and Judgment. The Rise and the Prospect of the Judgment Model in Contemporary Political Philosophy, 1999 (transl. into Italian); The Force of the Example. Explorations in the Paradigm of Judgment, 2008 (transl. into Italian and Spanish) and The Democratic Horizon. Hyperpluralism and the Renewal of Political Liberalism, 2014 (transl. into Spanish). The Democratic Horizon, Ferrara's latest work, presents his particular elaboration of the 'political liberalism' articulated in the later works of John Rawls, which Ferrara proposes as an 'adaptive countermeasure' to what he sees as the ever more inhospitable global conditions for contemporary democracy. This interview addresses some implications of Ferrara's insightful and multifaceted theoretical perspective.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
