    Storia, storia del pensiero politico e teologia: un rapporto complesso

    No full text
    The paper deals with the relationship between medieval history and the history of medieval political thought. The author claims that, after a long period of time in which political thought was not considered a relevant object of a genuine historical inquiry, the situation is changing. In is opinion, the so-called linguistic turn has contributed to overcoming a prejudice against political thought, wrongly considered to be too abstract and unable to interpret historical reality. In order to support his claim, the author mentions not only recent volumes, such as The Languages of Political Society (2011), but also the contributions by Giacomo Todeschini and Paolo Evangelisti, deeply rooted in the legacy of Ovidio Capitani’s teaching. Enrico Artifoni’s ground-breaking studies on political communication in the Italian communi show how fruitful attention to language can also lead to a better understanding of the true functioning of civic institutions. In the second part, the paper focuses on the renewed attention to “political theology”, intended not exclusively in the terms of Carl Schmitt, but rather in those of Ernst Kantorowicz. Referring to Antony Black, the author shows that it legitimates to speak of a theological language as one among other medieval political languages through which life in society and its sense in history were interpreted

    Pensare la povertà tra uso povero e uso di fatto

    No full text
    This article considers the relationship between usus facti and usus pauper. It starts from the conviction that the Franciscan discourse on “use” has become a route for researchers to take, albeit a demanding one. – For indeed while a common language was being built up within this shared context, divergences were also emerging that it would be hard to reconcile. - Central to this consideration of the matter are several passages by Peter John Olivi and a proposed interpretation of that which divided Olivi from his adversaries, one that goes beyond the facile contrast between “laxists” and “rigourists.” The suggestion is that, for Olivi, “rich use,” meaning use that is habitually not limited to the truly needful, carries with it an element of appropriation, an

    L’ecclesiologia domenicana nella disputa tra frati Mendicanti e clero secolare nel XIII secolo

    No full text
    The paper argues that Congar’s very well known contribution on the eccle siological aspects on the Secular-Mendicant controversy in the XIII century is still valid in many aspects, despite the fact that it has been published more than half a century ago. More recent scholarship has improved our knowledge of the dispute, both publishing additional primary sources and throwing more light on specific issues. Scholars did not feel the need, however, to dramatically modify his interpretation. Its most controversial aspect concerns Congar’s comparison between Franciscan and Dominican ecclesiological positions, as Zuckerman’s, Horst’s and Bonino’s diverging interpretations show. Following Congar’s sugges tions, the present article maintains that, some differences in detail notwithstand ing, the most important consequence of the Secular-Mendicant controversy con sisted in the breakthrough of an ecclesiology of the universal Church as a unity, as opposed to an ecclesiology of the plurality of local Churches. This image of the Church became the common background of later Conciliar debates, where Do minicans played a significant rol
