Orizzonti mantovani. Spunti e dinamiche paesaggistiche ne L'Illustrissimo di Alberto Cantoni
No full textIn the literary production of Alberto Cantoni, short story writer and novelist between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the novel L'Illustrissimo is highly important both because it is the last publication of the author, from Pomponesco, a small town a few kilometers south of Mantua, both because it summarizes in a single text the different nuances and different directions that his writing has taken over the course of his literary career, also due to a writing and processing time that embraces the entire span of years of his career itself. In the foreground, in addition to the numerous and brilliant characters, one of the protagonists is the Mantuan landscape which, not a simple background, becomes a true literary parameter which in different and significant ways affects the purposes and mechanisms of the novel
Whose Adam Smith? The limits of law’s action
No full textAdam Smith has usually been regarded as having provided the key planks on which to develop liberist and ordoliberal visions. By means of taking seriously Smith’s legal theory, it is here argued that a different reading is plausible and preferable, in which the elements with which to defend a radical transformation of the socio-economic order emerge. The argument starts by identifying two fundamental insights in Smith’s work, namely (1) the characterization of human beings as norm producers and norm followers, who systematically raise claims to normative correctness; and (2) the affirmation of a creative tension between (methodological) individualism and the social constitution of human beings. On such a basis, it is argued that the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments emphasized not only the fact that modern law is a social creation, but also the structural association between law and other means of social integration, in particular both positive and critical morality. This leads Smith to highlight the constitutive role that modern law plays in the creation and reproduction of modern socio-economic structures. Consideration is then given to the main reasons why Smith has been regarded as one if not the fundamental source of liberist and ordoliberal thinking. While such readings are plausible, or at least partially plausible, they fail to consider the extent to which the identification of the socio-economic constitutive role of law highlighted by Smith can be relied upon to imagine new and different socio-economic orders.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y Universidades (España)Depto. de Filosofía y SociedadFac. de FilosofíaTRUEpu

Rosmini’s Liberalism and the Shadow of Adam Smith
No full textThe purpose of this article is to show the impact on Rosmini’s economic thinking
from one strain of classical liberal economics—that of Adam Smith. Rosmini’s
reflections on Smith, which are far from episodic, show a degree of affinity and
a strong intellectual preference for laissez-faire versus economic interventionism.
This article explores selected instances in Rosmini’s economic and political
works in which either Rosmini himself quotes Smith, or the latter’s shadow seems
unmistakable. It focuses in particular on Rosmini’s approach to economics as a
science (and his criticism of “mechanical” utilitarianism); his views of competition,
monopoly, and protection; and his fiscal theory, as the places in which his
reading of Smith most reverberates. Rosmini’s approaches to these problems
constitute sufficient evidence to place him within the classical liberal tradition

O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaA pretensão desta dissertação intitulada O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes é investigar a relação entre o sentir e o puro pensar, usando como referência a poesia O Guardador de Rebanhos, de Alberto Caeiro, que apresenta de forma evidente o tema; e como este assunto é tratado nas Meditações Metafísicas de René Descartes, também de forma claramente visível. Podemos perceber em ambos os autores, uma diplopia, uma espécie de duplo olhar sobre a relação sentir e puro pensar. No primeiro capítulo vou falar sobre a tese do duplo olhar de Descartes, a respeito da relação sentir e puro pensar na leitura de Merleau-Ponty, salientando a visão de natureza. No segundo capítulo, parto da leitura das três primeiras Meditações Metafísicas para caracterizar a tensão que se pode verificar entre Descartes e Alberto Caeiro quando se referem ao puro pensar. O foco principal de Descartes, nas três primeiras Meditações, é o pensar puro, e neste ponto Alberto Caeiro critica o pensar puro. No terceiro capítulo, analisando as três últimas Meditações, percebe-se que há uma virada no pensamento de Descartes, no qual o autor inverte seu ponto de vista, aproximando-se da idéia de Alberto Caeiro. No quarto capítulo, mostrarei a leitura que outros autores fazem acerca do sentir e do pensar na obra de Alberto Caeiro, mostrando que assim como Descartes, este também ostenta uma diplopia, não do sentir, mas do pensar. The pretension of this work entitled O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes is to investigate the relationship between the feeling and the pure thinking, using as reference the poetry O Guardador de Rebanhos, by Alberto Caeiro, that presents in an evident way this theme; and as this subject is treated in René Descartes' Metaphysical Meditations, also in a clearly visible way. It is possible to notice in both authors, the diplopy, a sort of double look about the relationship between feeling and pure thinking. The thesis about Descartes'double look regarding the relation of feeling and pure thinking, in Merleau-Ponty reading, pointing out the nature vision, will be treated in the first chapter. In the second chapter, I start from the reading of the first three Metaphysical Meditations to characterize the tension that can be verified between Descartes and Alberto Caeiro when they refer to the pure thinking. Descartes' main focus in the first three Meditations is pure thinking and, in this point, Alberto Caeiro criticizes pure thinking. In the third chapter, analyzing the last three Meditations, it is possible to notice that there is an alteration in Descartes' thought, in which the author inverts his point of view, approaching of Alberto Caeiro's idea. In the fourth chapter, I will show the reading that other authors do concerning feeling and thinking in Alberto Caeiro's work, showing that as well as Descartes, this also shows a diplopy, not of feeling, but of thinking
