Community, immunity, biopolitics
Full text linkThe author examins the relationship between the concepts of ‘community’, ‘immunity’ and ‘biopolitics’. Each of these terms takes its fullest sense only in relation to the other two. If ‘communitas’ is what binds its members in a commitment of giving from one to the other, ‘immunitas’, by contrast, is what unburdens from the burden, what exonerates from this responsibility. In the same way the community refers to something general and open, immunity refers to privileged particularity of a situation that is defined by being an exception to a common condition. Since the phenomenon of immunity is inscribed precisely at the point of intersection between low and biology, between medical procedure and legal protection, the politics that it give rise to is a form of ‘biopolitics’, in direct relationship with biological life
Per un pensiero istituente
No full textThe essay elaborates a theory of the institution at the point of intersection between the languages of philosophy, anthropology, sociology, law and politics. Against a conservative and static conception of institution, it identifies its dynamic and innovative character. Moving from the noun “institution” to the verb “istituire”, the author reconstructs and develops the line of thought opened from Ricoeur, Deleuze, Merleau-Ponty, Lefort, Hauriou and Romano
The person and human life
No full textIn this essay the author analyses the history of ‘biopolitics’ through the category of ‘person’. Tracing the development of this category from its Roman precursors to its centrality in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, he argues that, while the philosophy of the person evolved in response to the reduction of human life to mere biological being, it ends reifying from another direction the division between the biological and the rational-spiritual. Personalism does not so much resolve the problem of the biologization of life, as offer another ground on which such a reduction might take place. Turning to the work of Maurice Blanchot, Sigmund Freud and Simone Weil, the author suggests an alternative to the philosophy of the personal, in which rights adhere not to the persons but to bodies which offer their own normativity, one that is immanent to life and its infinite multiplicity
Politica e metafisica
No full textLa filosofia non può evitare di porre alla politica la questione metafisica del suo carattere essenziale. Dopo aver esaminato le risposte date ad essa da Carl Schmitt, Dolf Sternberger e Nicole Lauraux, il saggio analizza la nozione di ‘metapolitica’. Coniata alla fine del diciottesimo secolo dallo storico tedesco August von Sclhöze, per Manfred Riedel esso indica la implicita presenza di presupposti metafisici nel pensiero politico. Tale presenza si rivela nelle opere di autori antichi e moderni, dalla Politica di Aristotele al Leviatano di Hobbes, alla Filosofia della storia di Hegel. Il concetto di ‘metapolitica’ può riferirsi alla fondazione delle teorie politiche – come vuole Riedel in “Metafisica e meta politica” -, ma anche a una sorta di ‘biopolitica dello spirito’, come ritiene Erich Unger in “Politica e metafisica”

No full textAutonomia patrimoniale del fondo pensione, indifferenza alle vicende personali dei finanziatori, unitarietà nei rapporti interni ed esterni ci inducono ad individuare l'esistenza di un autonomo centro di imputazione di effetti giuridici.Più precisamente, non appartenenza, esistenza di un'organizzazione, giuridicamente autonoma, ed unitarietà di disciplina ci confortano nell'idea che si tratti di un autonomo soggetto di diritto (nota a Cass. 15 giugno 1990, n. 7201
