468The Respect Fallacy: Limits of Respect in Public DialogueIn Christian Kock & Lisa Villadsen (ed.), Rhetorical Citizenship and Public Deliberation, Pennsylvania State University Press. 2012.Deliberative politics should start from an adequate and differentiated image of our dialogical practices and their normative structures; the ideals that we eventually propose for deliberative politics should be tested against this background. In this article I will argue that equal respect, understood as respect a priori conferred on persons, is not and should not be counted as a constitutive normative ground of public discourse. Furthermore, requiring such respect, even if it might facilitate d…Read more

383Scepsis and ScepticismIn De Laurentis Allegra & Edwards Jeffrey (eds.), The Bloomsbury Companion to Hegel. Bloomsbury/Continuum (2012), Bloomsbury Academic. pp. 273-278. 2012.Hegel's philosophy aims at responding to the questions raised by modern scepticism concerning the accessibility of the external world, of other minds, and of one's own mind. A key-role in Hegel's argumentative strategy against modern scepticism is played here by Hegel's theory of recognition. Recognition mediates the constitution of individual self-consciousness and intersubjectivity: self-knowledge is not logically independent of the awareness of other minds. At the same time, recognition insti…Read more

929How Does Recognition Emerge from Nature? The Genesis of Consciousness in Hegel’s Jena WritingsCritical Horizons 13 (2): 176-196. 2012.The paper proposes a reconstruction of some fragments of Hegel’s Jena manuscripts concerning the natural genesis of recognitive spiritual consciousness. On this basis it will be argued that recognition has a foothold in nature. As a consequence, recognition should not be understood as a bootstrapping process, that is, as a self-positing and self-justifying normative social phenomenon, intelligible within itself and independently of anything external to it.

70Brandom's Reconstructive Rationality. Some Pragmatist ThemesTowards an Analytic Pragmatism. Workshop on Bob Brandom's Recent Philosophy of Language. 2009.Abstract. Focusing on part one of Tales of the Mighty Dead and on its relation to the afterword to Between Saying and Doing, I illustrate what reconstructive methodology is and argue that theoretical thinking is one of its instances. I then show that the historical understanding involved in telling the story of a philosophical tradition is another case of reconstruction: one that deepens our understanding of the retrospective character of reconstruction itself, adding something new to our…Read more
