Filosofie femministe e riconoscimento delle identità plurali: dalla differenza alle differenze
Una disamina della storia concettuale del femminismo dall'affermarsi della "differenza sessuale", dapprima declinata nell'orizzonte paradigmatico dell’eterosessualità, fino al proprio autotrascendimento che ha posto le fondamenta necessarie alla positiva attestazione di una pluralità di "differenze" nell'ambito del gender (genere, secondo il lessico grammaticale/sessuale)
Wittgenstein, Weber and Winch on Understanding Human Behaviour: A “Matter of Continuity”
The aim of this essay is to try to explain what "understanding" is – as a particular form of activity that conveys practical and moral consequences – in the philosophical and ethical conceptions of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Max Weber and Peter Winch.
The key-words around which this paper is structured are "understanding human behaviour", and this topic is tackled by comparing and contrasting these three authors for two reasons. First, because the kind of "understanding" that is in question here plays a fundamental role within the context of their specific philosophical and epistemological investigations, and in relation to the contribution that each of them gave – directly and/or indirectly – to the evolution of contemporary social sciences, in particular, sociology and cultural anthropology. Second, because it is a notion which shows a special kind of philosophical continuity between theoretical interests and practical attitudes in their shared concern about the ethical consequences of the action. For Wittgenstein and Winch, as well for Weber, ethics seems to be the hidden side of philosophy and human knowledge, but also the most relevant aspect in order to make intelligible the sense of a life
Filosofia, scienze umane e razionalità. Peter Winch e il relativismo culturale
This book examines in depth, historically and philosophically, the debate on rationality (Rationality-debate) as developed in the epistemology of the humanities and social sciences between the 1960s and 1990s in the 20th Century. In particular it deals with the role of protagonist played by the English philosopher Peter Winch (1926-1997) with his "strong reading" of Wittgenstein's philosophical paradigm. The issue of relativism is central to the debate in question, in all its philosophical and scientific declinations, as well as with its problematic relations to the definition of the concept of rationality. The critical "anti anti-relativist" engagement of the confrontation between universalists and relativists that takes place in this essay seeks to illumine the legacy of such a debate as it stands in the contemporary philosophical and cultural landscape
