Eternal Immolation: could a Trinitarian coordinating-concept for Theistic Metaphysics solve the Problems of Theodicy?
No full textThe author contextualizes the Problem of Evil in Open Theism system, listing its main theses, primarily the logic-of-
love-defense (and free-will-defense) connected to Trinitarian speculation. After evaluating the discussion in
Analytic Philosophy of Religion, the focus is on the personal mystery of evil, claiming that, because of mystery
and vagueness, the Problem of Evil is undecidable. Recalling other schools of thought (Pareyson: ontology of
freedom; Moltmann: Dialectical theology; Kenotic theology; Original Sin hermeneutics), the author tries to grasp
their common insights. One of them is the evident explanatory failure of theodicies, expressed in the antinomian
statements ‘God is not innocent’. The author follows these insights, developing the concept of Eternal
Immolation (Bulgakov), arguing that, without a proper understanding of its mystery (what is, and what is not),
theistic theodicy could remain compromised. ‘Eternal Immolation’ is considered consequent – or already present
– in recent speculations, it stands or falls when we accept that these reveal some unresolved points in Christian
doctrine. Hence, ‘Eternal Immolation’ becomes a coordinating-concept, able to bring together their assumptions:
several kinds of kenosis, the ontology of freedom with a logic-of-love defense, strongly linked to a libertarian
human freedom, and the acknowledgement of the unresolved mystery of evil
Political Audiences. A Reception History of Early Italian Television
No full textThis book deals with the popular reception of early Italian television during the years of the so- called long “economic boom” (1954-1969). To do so, the author focuses on the Catholic and Communist audiences’ perception of the first TV programs. The investigation into these two main groups’ reception will be conduct- ed through the analysis of all the TV references published in the readers’ columns of the two most popular rotocalchi of those years: the Catholic magazine Famiglia Cristiana and the Communist weekly Vie Nuove. Showing the collective discourse about television, made by very different types of audiences through the use of letters published by these popular magazines, this study points out how television’s impact was also a mediated process. Therefore, the innovative proposal of this book is to suggest an in-depth study of the reception and cultural history of the early Italian television
L’ockhamismo nel dibattito analitico contemporaneo sull’onniscienza divina. Un bilancio
No full textOver the past three decades, the issue of the relationship between divine omniscience and human freedom has been the subject of great debate. Inside it, were compared many authors and many “solutions”. One of these is the one that is inspired by Ockham’s thought. The author, therefore, aims to present the main theoretical nodes of this solution, following the development that it has had in the various publications about this question. The author also tries to show its limits, to make understandable the transition occurred within the debate, which led to the Molinist solution and then to the open theism
Prospettive del molinismo nel dibattito contemporaneo sull’onniscienza divina
No full textOver the past four decades, the issue of the relationship between divine omniscience and human freedom has been the subject of a great debate in the context of Analytic Philosophy of Religion. Many authors have contributed to the debate by formulating some ‘solutions’, taking inspiration from the thought of classical authors (e.g. Boethius, Aquinas, Ockham). One of these, is inspired by Luis de Molina’s thought. The Author, therefore, aims to present the main theoretical thesis of this solution, following the development in the various publications about this question. The Author also tries to show how the thought of Molina has beeen “translated” in contemporary discourse, the limits of the solution, and make understandable the transition occurred within the debate, which led to the Molinist solution and then to the Open Theism
The Renaissance Editions of Festus: Identifying Paulus Diaconus
No full textOnly through a protracted and challenging process at the end of the nineteenth-century was Paul the Deacon (Paulus Diaconus) correctly identified as the author of the abridged version of Festus’s De verborum significatione that was in circulation in medieval times. However, a group of French scholars had already reached this conclusion during the Renaissance. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the cultural path followed by the antiquarians and philologists who were able to make this important discovery ante litteram: by examining the many Renaissance editions of Festus, the perception of Paul’s authorship emerges, revealing how scholars realised that the unidentified Paulus was in fact the Diaconus historian of the Goths and Lombards
Paradoxes of legal custom
No full textTraducción de Edith Cuautle RodríguezEn este artículo, el autor, inspirándose en la interpretación propuesta por Kripke de algunos pasajes de las Investigaciones Filosóficas de Wittgenstein, discute algunas paradojas en las que, en su opinión, incurren el discurso de la ciencia jurídica y el de la doctrina cuando identifican al usus y a la opinio iuris seu necessitatis como elementos esenciales de la costumbre jurídica.Under the light of Kripke’s interpretation of some paragraphs of Wittgenstein’ s Philosophical Investigations, the author of this paper denounces the paradoxes resulting, in his opinion, when usus and opinio iuris seu necessistatis are considered —as legal science and doctrine do—necessary elements in the identification of legal customs
La costituzione delle differenze. Giusnaturalismo e codificazione del diritto civile nella Prussia del '700
No full textThe book goes through the philosophical and theoretical origins of private law codification in Prussia, which ends with the promulgation of the Allgemeines Landrechte für die Preußischen Staaten of 1794. The Prussian codification movement seems to be very interesting from the point of view of historiography: it shows the attempt to conjugate the universality of positive law, as an expression of the unity of the State, with the particularity of the different social-economic characteristics of the German status society at the end XVIIIth century.
First of all the Author analyses the origins of this movement in the practical philosophy of Ch. Wolff, father of the preussisches Neturrecht. Wolff works out a theory of society and civil relationships based on the concept of status: he identifies rights and duties of individuals starting from their particular actions fields within the society, working for common purpose. Wolff’s work underlines, therefore, the persisting in the German XVIIIth century of the influence of Aristotelian social philosophy, throughout the typical mathematic method of modern Jurisprudence. The Author then, analyses the revision of juridical and political Wolffian’s philosophy within his School (Darjes, Nettelblad, Svarez, Klein): here the Aristotelian tradition is joined together with the principles of modern natural Law (Hobbes and Pufendorf), and with the concept of sovereignty: the particularity or the rights and duties, which belongs to every personal status, becomes a product of the sovereign’s will, in which everybody recognises his owns. This assumption opens to a new conception of civil order, in which the universality of law integrates with the particularity of personal conditions. The movement for civil rights carried out by German Enlightment before French Revolution, doesn’t involve the suppression of the ancient status society, but his integration within the administration of the State. Another chapter of the book deals with the transformations of roman law tradition in the XVIIIth century, which gave to the scientia iuris civilis his basic categories. The roman law tradition contributes in particular to create the normative instruments for the realization of this social and political project. In the last chapter the Author analyses the structure of the Allgemeines Landrecht für die Preußischen Staaten of 1794, showing how the principles of Preußisches Naturrecht became normative instruments and the differences between this code and the other European codification experiences

Fondamenti di un teismo trinitario
No full textThe Author proposes to describe the possible foundations of a Trinitarian theism that may be a philosophically adequate translation of the Johannine declaration: “God is love”, introduced by some contemporary thinkers as a key to resolving some aporias within classic theism. This is done by way of analysis of Trinitarian ontology and relational ontology, for which there is an attempt to provide a shareable phenomenological basis. The paper then goes on to questions of epistemology (hyperphatic theology) linked to the ability of human reason and human language to express the categories introduced in this analysis, categories that are nothing else but a renewed philosophical appreciation of the terminology proper to Trinitarian speculation
