    No full text
    Il testo raccoglie gli scritti scaturiti dal dibattito scientifico nato in seno al convegno intitolato Francisco Suárez S.I. (1548-1617): alle soglie della modernità tenutosi a Genova il 1 dicembre 2017. L’occasione del IV centenario dalla morte del gesuita è stata, infatti, anche in Italia, un ottimo terreno di confronto tra diversi punti di vista teorici, che hanno contribuito, nella diversità delle loro prospettive, a restituire la complessità di un autore come Suárez. Essi costituiscono l’architrave del volume organizzato in tre grandi sezioni dove confluiscono gli approfondimenti filosofici, giuridico-politici e storiografici di Ilaria Acquaviva, Giancarlo Colacicco, Costantino Esposito, Simone Guidi, Francesco Ramella, Gian Pietro Soliani, Simona Langella, Cintia Faraco, Maurizio Merlo, Damiano Simoncelli, Sofia Torre, Ilaria Pizza, Daniele Rolando, Raffaella Santi, Antonio Allegra, Gianluca Dioni

    Quizás en compañía de Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Espósito es uno de los autoresque más ha trabajado y redefinido la noción de biopolítica (re)inventada por MichelFoucault en el decenio de 1970. En este trabajo presentaré el modo en que Foucaulty Esposito conceptualizan la noción de biopolítica, y sostendré que las críticasrealizadas por el autor italiano se basan en una incorrecta presentación del autorfrancés.Perhaps in company with Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito is one of the authors that has most worked and redefined the notion of biopolitics (re)invented by Michel Foucault in the 1970s. In this paper, I will present how Foucault and Esposito conceptualize the notion of biopolitics and I argue that the criticisms made by the Italian author are based on an incorrect presentation of the French author

    Decision-making styles in an evolutionary perspective

    Naturalistic decision-making (NDM) investigates the cognitive strategies used by experts in making decisions in real-world contexts. Unlike studies conducted in the laboratory, the NDM paradigm is applied to real human interactions, often characterized by uncertainty, risk, complexity, time pressures and so on. In this approach, the role of experience is crucial in making possible a quick classification of decision-making situations and therefore in making an effective, rapid and prudent choice. Models of behaviour resulting from these studies represent an extraordinary resource for research and for the application of decision-making strategies in high-risk environments. They particularly underline not only that most of the critical decisions that we take are based on our intuition, but that the ability to recognize patterns and other signals that allow us to act effectively is a natural extension of experience. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020

    The inclusion of a person with intellectual disability, such as Down Syndrome (DS), depends not only on the skills of the person himself, but also on the attitude that other persons have to him. Most of the studies that focused on the attitude towards people with DS did not thoroughly investigate the beliefs on the competences of people with DS. Our aim is to identify the commonly held beliefs towards the social and cognitive competences of people with DS. Specifically, we want to verify if there are any differences among the beliefs held by parents of Typical Development (TD) children, parents of people with DS and people without children. A second aim is to evaluate a possible association between the level of knowledge about the Syndrome and related positive beliefs. 363 subjects from 18 to 70 years old (M = 37.56; S.D. = 14.73) were recruited. The sample was divided in three different groups: 1) subjects with TD children; 2) subjects with DS children and 3) subjects without children. An ad hoc self-report questionnaire was administered. Results show that people with Down Syndrome are considered more competent in terms of motor skills, but less competent in social skills. The level of knowledge of the Syndrome correlates positively with beliefs in all competences. There are differences in beliefs between the three groups: parents with DS children have more positive beliefs about all skills, especially as regards the socialization. Knowing the beliefs on the skills of DS people can be very useful, in order to improve inclusiveness of those with DS
