La caduta dell'uomo e la sofferenza degli animali nella Disputatio tra Francesco Pucci e Fausto Sozzini
No full textThis contribution traces the evolution of a specific topic in the Disputatio between Francesco Pucci and Fausto Sozzini: the differentiation between man and animal. Addressing the ethical consequences of this distinction, the author argues that this topic plays an important role in the four texts which Pucci and Sozzini exchanged between 1577 and 1578. In particular, the essay considers the question about man's ethical behaviour towards animals and the arguments for and against vegetarianism, as they are developed alongside the discussion of Adam's nature before and after the fall

Full text linkMedical and Ethical Aspects of Vegetarianism: On the Reception of Porphyry's De Abstinentia in the Renaissance
No full textIn this essay I focus on vegetarianism considered simultaneously as an ethical and as a medical practice, arguing that the first aspect cannot be separated in any way from the second one in the story I want to reconstruct, and that has at its centre one of the classical texts discussing the benefits of a vegetarian diet: Porphyry’s De abstinentia ab esu carnium. Medical, ethical and strictly religious themes constantly intertwine in Porphyry’s four books, contributing to construct a concept of vegetarianism which was highly influential.
The essay highlights only a specific phase in the reception of Porphyry’s work, that is the influence of this text on its Renaissance editors and translator
"Il primo filosofo tedesco". Il misticismo di Jakob Böhme nell'interpretazione hegeliana
No full textJakob Böhme "è propriamente il primo filosofo tedesco" - scrive Hegel al suo ex-studente van ghert. Certamente il ciabattino Böhme è uno spirito incolto e barbaro, ma allo stesso tempo straordinariamente profondo e addirittura violento nell'aver creato una sua lingua filosofica, con la quale ha tentato di esprimere il nucleo più speculativo del suo pensiero: il rapporto simbiotico tra il Divino e il suo opposto luciferino, ovvero l'origine del Male da Dio stesso.
Questo studio ricostruisce per la prima volta nei dettagli le ragioni dell'interesse di Hegel per la filosofia mistica di Böhme, a partire dal contesto storico, dalle diverse concezioni di 'misticismo' negli scritti hegeliani, e dal confronti con l'approccio di altri famosi lettori di Böhme, tra cui Schelling
Vielfalt der Kulturen aus Hegelscher Sicht
No full textIn diesem Aufsatz wird diese Fragestellung näher untersucht: Auf welche Weise kann Hegel als 'Universalist' bezeichnet werden? Oder mit anderen Worten: Welche ist denn Hegels eigene Arte und Weise Universalist zu sein? Und darüber hinaus, warum scheint gerade die hegelsche Perspektive in Bezug auf das Problemfeld des Universalismus besonder relevant zu sein für die Debatte über die mögliche Kombination von universalistischen Ansprüchen und der Vielfalt der Kulturen
