Understanding political violence: a criminological analysis
No full textUnderstanding Political Violence introduces political violence in the context of sociological and criminological debates. The author distinguishes between political violence from below, for example collective violence, insurgency, armed struggle and terrorism; and political violence from above, which includes indiscriminate repression, institutional and state violence, torture and war. Vincenzo Ruggiero discusses and critiques the contribution of criminological theory to understanding political violence. He draws on stimulating case studies to illustrate the theory, including interviews with former members of the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Brigate Rosse in Italy.The concluding chapter examines the recent development of a criminology of war and calls for a general ceasefire and the criminalisation of war, the most extreme form of institutional violence.This is essential reading for students and researchers in criminology, political studies, sociology, and war and conflict studies.
This book, published in 2006, is now available in Italian and a Spanish and a Russian edition will soon be available

Ruggiero: un trovatello, ma di famiglia illustre
No full textThis paper sets out some considerations about Ariosto’s Ruggiero. In the first part, the author discusses some ambiguities that apparently interfere with Ruggiero’s effectiveness as an encomiastic figure. In particular, the focus is on Saint John’s speech in the moon episode (Orlando Furioso, XXXV) and on Ruggiero’s exemplarity. In the second part, the author compares Ruggiero’s story with the hero pattern as analysed by the psychoanalyst Otto Rank. As a result, the connections between Ruggiero and the traditional aristocratic ideology are highlighted, also through a parallel with Machiavelli’s Life of Castruccio Castracani

Philosophical premises
No full textTaken from Il ritorno alla ragione (1946), this late essay marks a further decisive break between de Ruggiero and Croce. Drawing on Nietzsche, de Ruggiero argues that nineteenth-century German historicism resulted in disengagement from and indeed ambivalence with respect to the present. He goes on to argue that while Croce’s more sophisticated version of historicism provided a valuable bulwark against the encroachments of ‘irrationalism’ in the Fascist period, it also encouraged the rejection of the idea of any permanent, universal values whatsoever. Against Croce’s objections, de Ruggiero argues that the best insights of historicism should be incorporated into a return to Enlightenment reason and a ‘moving synthesis’ of immanence and transcendence
Italian thought and the War
No full textWriting for a French audience in 1916, de Ruggiero here reviews the major intellectual currents that culminated in Italy’s entry to the First World War in May 1915. Though events cannot be properly understood while they are still in motion, argues de Ruggiero, the dispute over the war revealed certain profound truths implicit in these competing ideologies and schools of thought. Democratic, Catholic, socialist, nationalist and liberal arguments for and against the war gave way to a new scene, and a new set of problems, once the decision was made and war arrived. De Ruggiero goes on to discuss the political, philosophical and cultural implications of the war, again stressing—in line with his early historicism—that these would become fully apparent only with the benefit of hindsight

The ethic of historicism
No full textIn this essay, one of four in Problemi della vita morale (1914), de Ruggiero develops a thought he first expressed in La filosofia contemporanea (1912), describing his conception of the historicity of spiritual value, which unifies ‘historical fatalism’ and presentism. Appreciating the courses our cultures, institutions, values and ideas have followed to arrive at their present forms, argues de Ruggiero, grants us a better understanding of ourselves and our relation to the future. We are at once the creators and the products of history. In light of the historicity of the real, we see ourselves and our world in a new way. It falls to us to actualize the reality in which we live

Idealism reconsidered
No full textIn this pivotal essay, first published in 1933, de Ruggiero explains why he no longer considers himself an idealist. He criticizes the forms of Hegelian and post-Hegelian idealism that had animated his early philosophical work, as well as that of Croce and Gentile. While acknowledging the value of its ‘incomparably profound exploration of the life of the mind’, he argues that modern idealism, especially in its recent forms, has resulted in intellectual narcissism—claiming privileged insight into the truth, while in fact making real problems incomprehensible and insoluble. The essay concludes with a brief sketch of the kind of inquiry with which de Ruggiero thinks we should engage, motivated by a sincere concern for concrete problems and a corresponding desire to solve them
