Uno sguardo di passaggio. Mimesi e desiderio nelle Horae canonicae di Wystan H. Auden [A passing glance. Mimesis and desire in Horae canonicae of Wystan H. Auden] (review)la Società Degli Individui 33 68-83. 2008.In Horae canonicae W. H. Auden ha messo a tema la dimensione mimetica della condizione umana. Il saggio ricostruisce in tal senso l’antropologia negativa di Auden, prendendo le mosse dall’analisi del desiderio di riconoscimento quale elemento centrale dell’identità storica. Attraverso una lettura dei motivi della folla e del doppio, e sullo sfondo del poema The Age of Anxiety e della produzione saggistica di Auden, si mostra che la «routine della lode e del biasimo» innesca meccanismi im…Read more

524Criticism and normativity. Brandom and Habermas between Kant and HegelIn D. Canale G. Tuzet (ed.), The Rules of Inference. Inferentialism in Law and Philosophy, Egea, Milano, Egea (pp. Pp. 29-44). 2009.In this paper, making reference to Robert Brandom's philosophical proposal - and against the background of Brandom's debate with Jürgen Habermas - I shall endeavor, first, to define the relation between recognition and normativity and then between recognition and criticism; in the final part of the paper I shall suggest a perspective that approaches recognition in terms of capacities. On this basis I attempt to see the critical attitude as something that is founded more on individual potentials …Read more

1761Ragione e relazione: la fenomenologia di Hegel come tropologiaGiornale di Metafisica 25 (2): 371-392. 2003.This article deals with the question of skepticism within Hegel's Phenomenology. The article reconstructs the role played by the tropes of ancient skepticism in Hegel's criticism of foundationalism and monological thinking. Furthermore, the skeptical method applied by Hegel is read as a sort of negative dialectics that is constitutive of a relational theory of rationality, and which culminates in his conception of the Absolute Knowing as speculative tropology.

686Ontology of the False State: On the Relation Between Critical Theory, Social Philosophy, and Social OntologyJournal of Social Ontology 1 (2): 271-300. 2015.In this paper I will argue that critical theory needs to make its socio-ontological commitments explicit, whilst on the other hand I will posit that contemporary social ontology needs to amend its formalistic approach by embodying a critical theory perspective. In the first part of my paper I will discuss how the question was posed in Horkheimer’s essays of the 1930s, which leave open two options: (1) a constructive inclusion of social ontology within social philosophy, or else (2) a program of …Read more

27Negli scritti dei primi anni trenta Adorno si propone di superare l’antitesi fra natura e storia senza ricadere in un modello fondativo di conciliazione. Attraverso una critica della ripresa nella filosofia contemporanea dell’accezione mitica della natura come origine e come invariante , Adorno intende recuperare il carattere polisemico dell’esperienza della natura e del suo intreccio paradossale con la storia. Il concetto di ‘seconda natura’, ripreso attraverso il confronto con Lukács e con B…Read more

51Dominant Patterns in Associated Living Hegemony, Domination, and Ideological Recognition in Dewey’s Lectures in ChinaTrasactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society, 2017. forthcoming.: In this paper I will focus on the notion of “dominant patterns”, as revealed by the recently discovered typescript of what we can assume to be Dewey’s fragmentary and incomplete preliminary lecture notes for the Lecture Series on Social and Political Philosophy. I will show that the way the notion of “dominant patterns” is dealt with in the text of the lecture notes is not only consistent with the conceptual content of the whole series of the Lectures in China as published by R. W. Clopton and…Read more

49Selbstbewußtsein und zweite NaturIn Klaus Vieweg & Wolfgang Welsh (eds.), Hegels Phänomenologie des Geistes - Ein kooperativer Kommentar zu einem Schlüsselwerk der Moderne, Suhrkamp, Frankfurt am Main, 2008, Suhrkamp. pp. 286-307. 2008.My aim in this paper is to bring into focus the concept of self-consciousness showing the reciprocal connection between the notions of recognition and second nature. The very evolution of Hegel's thought from the writings of his youth to those of his maturity reveals a strict connection between these notions. This reading will be justified through an articulate interpretation of the "Self-consciousness" section of the Phenomenology and then through an interpretation of the systematic connection …Read more
