A Modern in Disguise? Leo Strauss on Marsilius of Padua
Full text linkThis article analyzes Leo Strauss’s interpretation of the political thinker Marsilius of Padua advanced in the only piece that he wrote on the Italian author. At first glance, Strauss appears to characterize Marsilius as possessing an anticlerical temperament. Yet, upon deeper analysis, Strauss’s account of Marsilius presents him as a more controversial figure. First, Strauss’s analysis suggests that Marsilius’s anticlericalism actually disguises an antitheological attitude, bringing him closer to Machiavelli. Second, Strauss claims that Marsilius has an unusual notion of contemplation and “lowers his sights” prior to Machiavelli. Reading between the lines, one can see that for Strauss, Marsilius ends up being the last classical philosopher while also setting the stage for Machiavelli’s modernity in a disguised manner

The name refers to the striking black metallic colour of the legs. Remarks. Coenosia metalleg sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: thorax and abdomen black without vittae or spots, coxae black, trochanters yellow, and femora and tibiae metallic black, mid tibia with one anterodorsal and one posterodorsal median setae, anterodorsal seta shorter and positioned below the posterodorsal seta, cercus metallic black, longer than broad with hair-like seta, and distiphallus with hairs on ventral surface In Stein’s key (Stein 1911), C. metalleg runs to C. setiventris. These two species are distinguished by differences in the male terminalia of C. setiventris (Couri and Pont 2020), and their general colouration, particularly the colour of the legs. In Malloch´key (Malloch 1934), C. metalleg runs to C. inaequalis, but the metallic black colour of the femora can separate it from C. inaequalis.Published as part of Patitucci, Luciano Damián, Couri, Marcia Souto & Mulieri, Pablo Ricardo, 2021, The killer flies Coenosia Meigen (Diptera: Muscidae) of southern South America: the Coenosia chaetosa species group with two new species, and notes on male terminalia patterns, pp. 1499-1519 in Journal of Natural History 55 (23 - 24) on pages 1510-1513, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2021.1954711, http://zenodo.org/record/546986

Il pensiero di Pandora. Donne e politica dall'antichità al Settecento.
No full textSiamo abituati a pensare che la storia delle grandi idee politiche del passato sia stata scritta soltanto da uomini, molti dei quali particolarmente critici nei confronti delle donne e dell’eguaglianza di genere. Ma è davvero così? Il libro offre uno sguardo diverso sull’avvicendarsi delle teorie e ideologie politiche pre-ottocentesche, in cui a fare da protagonisti sono invece alcuni pensatori e pensatrici distintisi per la loro concezione innovativa sui rapporti tra i generi e sulla condizione femminile. Da Aspasia a Averroè e Christine de Pizan, da Cornelio Agrippa a Mario Equicola e Lucrezia Marinella, da Margaret Cavendish a Thomas Hobbes, Mary Astell e Olympe de Gouges, il testo mette in risalto filosofi, filosofe e scrittrici che dall’antichità al Settecento hanno utilizzato i linguaggi politici del mondo precedente all’età contemporanea per affrontare, spesso in modo del tutto originale, il tema complesso del rapporto tra i generi. Ne risulta un’indagine in cui dalle filosofe di Platone si passa attraverso le imama di Averroè, fino agli umanisti e alle scrittrici rinascimentali che teorizzavano la superiorità del genere femminile su quello maschile per concludere con alcune protagoniste delle rivoluzioni politiche del Seicento e del Settecento
The Language of Democracy between Aristotle and Machiavelli
Full text linkWhat was it like to speak of and think about democracy in Machiavelli’s
time? This paper first reconstructs the pre-modern language of democracy in late Medieval and humanist political thought (from the translation of Aristotle’s Politics in the thirteenth century to Machiavelli’s context) discussing its conceptual implications. Second, it analyses Machiavelli’s ideas on pre-modern democracy vis-à-vis books 3 and 4 of Aristotle’s Politics and book 6 of Polybius’ Histories. Situating Machiavelli
into earlier reflections on democracy shows that while Machiavelli’s thought provides crucial conceptual innovations, his debt to the classical sources on democracy is much deeper than a simple and unqualified rejection of the latter’s languages
Da Machiavelli a Aristotele : Donato Giannotti sul governo misto e il regime popolare nella Repubblica fiorentina
No full textThis article analyzes Donato Giannotti’s theories of the mixed constitution and the popular regime in his work The Florentine Republic in two different ways. First of all, it reconstructs the debt of Giannotti’s ideas with the thoughts of Polybius and Machiavelli.
