Preliminary study of the Salvia collection in Hanbury Botanical Gardens
No full textSi riportano i risultati preliminari del lavoro di catalogazione effettuato presso i
Giardini Botanici Hanbury (Ventimiglia, Italia) delle specie di Salvia appartenenti alla
locale collezione. Il criterio seguito è stato quello fitogeografico, in base alle diverse
aree di origine, seguendo la sistematica del genere riformata da Alziar ed Hedge. Le
zone geografiche di biodiversità del genere sono sei: Stati centro-meridionali degli
U.S.A. e California, 40 taxa (17 in California); Messico, 300 taxa; Sud-America 210
taxa; Europa, Africa Mediterranea ed Asia Occidentale, complessivamente 210
taxa; Sud-Africa, 70 taxa; Asia Orientale, 90 taxa.
L’elenco dei taxa del genere Salvia L. riportato nel catalogo Hortus mortolensis,
pubblicato nel 1995 da Campodonico, è stato confrontato sia con i taxa presenti
attualmente, sia con quelli presenti nei cataloghi precedenti, allo scopo di verificare
se nel corso di oltre un secolo, l’acclimatazione di specie provenienti da altre zone
del mondo in questo Orto Botanico è stata efficace, e se quindi il clima ne consente
una coltivazione ottimale.
Sono state anche citate sinonimie evidenziate nel corso del tempo.

Before (pseudo-)Virgil : anonymity, pseudepigraphy, and authorship in "Catalepton"
No full textRecent scholars rightly believe that the fifteen poems transmitted under the title "Catalepton" and attributed to Virgil are 'pseudepigrapha', which were deliberately com- posed to appear as a youthful work by him. However, direct connections with Virgil are only present in some poems (1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15) and are missing in others (2, 3, 6, 10, 12, 13), which instead refer, often polemically, to other people. The article argues that this latter series of poems may have initially circulated anonymously and only later been attributed to Virgil. The other poems, whose author clearly wears Virgil’s mask, interact with these texts, and were perhaps composed from them. Therefore, the poems of "Catalepton" hardly appear to have all been written by the pen of a single author
Specificità e pluralità della Virtue Ethics
No full textThe paper explores the central role of Virtue Ethics in contemporary moral philosophy, with a particular focus on its roots, its main approaches (aristotelian, humean, nietszchean etc.) and the challenges that this view has to face (e.g. charges with egoism, situationism, contextualism, elitarism etc.). The author argues that the Neoaristotelian perspective endorsed, among others, by Rosalynd Hursthouse, Julia Annas, and Daniel C. Russell is more coherent than other approaches within Virtue Ethics and better suited for meeting those challenges. The argument supporting this thesis grounds in four main elements that the Neoaristotelian Virtue Ethics, unlike other approaches, endorses: (i) the balanced concept of human nature; (ii) the harmonious relationship between reason and emotions, (iii) the main role of practical reason (phronesis) and (iv) the role of education in character building
In the name of Tibullus. [Tib.] 3, 19 and Horace
No full textElegy 3, 19 of the so-called Appendix Tibulliana depicts the passionate and typically elegiac love for an unnamed woman by a poet who in v. 13 identifies himself with Tibullus. For this reason, several scholars have accepted, even recently, that the elegy is his work. However, several elements contradict this hypothesis, such as the fact that the authentic Tibullus only names himself in imagined inscriptions. It is more likely that [Tib.] 3, 19 is an instance of Tibullan impersonation: it seems to be constructed from the references to Tibullus found in Hor. epist. 1, 4 (his retreat into the siluae salubres) and carm. 1, 33 (his painful love for a bold and unfaithful woman). The author of [Tib.] 3, 19 thus creates an elegy that prefigures what Horace says in his texts addressed to Tibullus and assumes his authorial mask in an allusive literary game

Traditional Ethics Today. The Case of Thomas Aquinas
No full textThis paper concerns an ethics of our medieval tradition (in particular good, happiness, natural law and virtue) and tries to show how to recover it, facing the problems of pluralism, freedom and scientific approach in modern and contemporary age. The author points out: - The central role of the desire for good and happiness and for goods adequate or inadequate to the openness of desire (particularly of the human person). Today we speak of the meaning of life. - The role of ethical virtues as the flowering of the first principles of natural law. - The principle of the entirety of the good (bonum ex integra causa) in order to judge the moral goodness of an action and as a criterion to compare different ethics in a pluralistic world. This is to distinguish between different levels of the human and moral good. - The principles of natural law as a result of the encounter between certain inclinations and practical rationality that recognizes them as normative. Nature and natural law are the conditions of freedom, not primarily a limit to it. - Now we must increase the role of freedom of choice – which is based on rationality – and the virtues as a way to freedom. It is essential to emphasize the value of personal risk and the fact that evil can serve the good. In general the author tries to face the challenges of deontology, utilitarianism and contemporary virtue ethics

Human Nature, Desire for Recognition, Freedom
No full textThe author clarifi es some problems connected with the classical concept of hu-man nature, particularly in Aristotle and Aquinas. It is very diffi cult to compare between different cultures or to speak of human rights and education without having a normative concept of human nature in the classical or philosophical sense and not only in the biological sense. In particular: we cannot speak of desire for recognition and of freedom without presupposing a concept of human nature. It is still possible to speak of human nature and of its specifi city if nature is conceived in a finalistic and dynamic sense consistent with evolution. Actually form is also the goal of the human being. We have to stress that this goal means openness to being as such, freedom and desire for recognition that requires freedom
