L’evoluzione della morale. Tradizione e progresso in Friedrich von Hayek
Full text linkL’articolo propone una reinterpretazione in chiave realista della prospettiva etico-politica di Friedrich von Hayek. La prima parte esamina le origini economiche della teoria hayekiana dell’ordine spontaneo. La seconda delinea le applicazioni morali di questa teoria, concentrandosi sulla concezione evolutiva della morale secondo Hayek e sulla sua lettura del rapporto fra tradizione e progresso. La terza parte presenta una valutazione critica della posizione hayekiana, in cui sostengo che – andando oltre il dettato dello stesso Hayek – la sua etica può essere conciliata con una prospettiva filosofico-morale realista e persino moderatamente razionalista.This paper proposes a realist reinterpretation of F.A. Hayek’s ethical-political perspective. The first section examines the economic origins of Hayek’s concept of spontaneous order. The second section outlines Hayek’s moral application of this concept, focusing on his evolutionary view of morality and his understanding of the relationship between tradition and progress. The third section presents a critical assessment of Hayek’s stance, arguing that, contrary to Hayek’s own assertions, his view of morality can be reconciled with a realist – and even moderately rationalist – moral framework
Il progresso morale attraverso il concetto di responsabilità
No full textIl contributo si propone di analizzare l’evoluzione del concetto di responsabilità come indicatore del progresso morale, inteso sia come affinamento delle credenze individuali sia come miglioramento delle pratiche sociali. Partendo da un desideratum emerso nella letteratura recente – in particolare nello studio di Buchanan e Powell – l’autrice evidenzia come il concetto di responsabilità, pur menzionato, sia ancora poco esplorato. Attraverso un confronto tra la teoria hegeliana della responsabilità e la sua elaborazione giuridica da parte di Michelet, si mostra come il passaggio da una concezione puramente causale a una che include intenzionalità e consapevolezza morale rappresenti un esempio paradigmatico di progresso morale. Infine, si sottolinea l’urgenza di una riconcettualizzazione del concetto di responsabilità alla luce delle sfide globali contemporanee
Verso un progresso morale possibile. Il ruolo dell’educazione morale
No full textThis paper examines the potential of character education to foster moral progress in a rapidly changing world. While the concept of moral progress has faced challenges, recent scholarship has renewed interest in this crucial area. Neo-Aristotelian approaches to character education aim to cultivate virtuous individuals. However, concerns arise regarding potential limitations, such as the risk of indoctrination and the perpetuation of a static moral framework. This paper argues for a character education approach that balances stability and flexibility. By emphasizing the development of practical wisdom as the core of virtuous character, this approach encourages individuals to navigate diverse moral contexts and contribute to meaningful social change. This necessitates a focus on inter-situational virtuous conduct, including exposure to a range of real and hypothetical scenarios, to cultivate ethical expertise and foster a dynamic and responsive moral character
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
Il quadro, il visibile e la donazione in Jean-Luc Marion
No full textThe essay endeavours to make the theme of the work of art interact with some instances of French contemporary phenomenology, and in particular with the work of an author that believes to have characterised this trend in a significant, certainly original way: Jean-Luc Marion. In particular we endeavour to show how the originality of the development that this author believes to have given to phenomenology has to do with, finds a certain reason and maybe an origin in, and surely finds an element of strong, exemplary demonstration in, that event that we should call work of art
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
