Lo Scolastico che faceva un partito a sé (faisait band à part). Leibniz su Durando di San Porziano e la disputa sui futuri contingenti
No full textIn his "Theodicy", on two occasions, Leibniz evaluates Durandus of Saint-Pourçain positively, while in two cases he expresses a negative judgement on him. The two positive mentions concern the problem of the divine prescience of creatures' free act. The two negative mentions concern the problem of God's Concurrence in creatures' action and being. Leibniz's passages on Durandus confront us with the core of his philosophy of action. Distancing himself from Durandus, Leibniz tries to escape a view according to which. after choosing the best of possible worlds, God plays no role in the world. Nonetheless, his points of agreement with the medieval author show his attempt to save the causal powers of creatures too
“La place d’autruy”. Etica filantropica e immaginazione morale in Leibniz
No full textThis article identifies an intermediate position in Leibniz’s moral thought between
deontological and sentimentalist morality. Whereas in his early writings obligations
towards others are derived from obedience to God, Leibniz later comes to conceive
of “charity” towards others as a state of mind that arises spontaneously in
those whose intellect can identify convergences between different interests (“perceiving
harmony”) and imagining feelings and judgments of other agents (“putting
oneself in the other’s place”). On this basis, Leibniz would be able to outline
an “ethics of recognition” (rather than a kind of “ethics of law”) which has original
characteristics and clearly anticipates the later philosophies of “dialogue” or
discourse, although never emancipated from the theological dimension and rather
proposed as an interpretation of evangelical precepts. In the last part of the essay,
the author also examines the limits of this approach, based on the attempt to
universalize a model of relationship that is originally and typically interpersonal
Cum maxime unusquisque homo suum utile quaerit, tum maxime homines sunt sibi invicem utiles. Note su Ethica IV, prop. 35 e corollari
No full textThe paper concerns the crucial categories of the fourth part of Spinoza's Ethica. In the opinion of the author, Spinoza's definition of "utility" and, more widely, his views on practical reason are quite original and based on the ontological notion of "convenance" (convenientia) which is not easy to reduce to the classical ends/means view of utility. In the opinion of the author, Spinoza is trying to ground a crucial point of Ethics, part IV: only a person which is useful to herself can be really useful even for me
Le gabbie identitarie tra razzismi classici e post-moderni
