19On the Kantian distinction between Ethics and Right: Linearity and MediationCon-Textos Kantianos 1 (13): 344-364. 2021.The aim of this paper is to provide an original account of the distinction between the spheres of Sitten that goes beyond the traditional one based on the nature of incentives, since this underestimates some of their characteristics. First, the paper identifies in obligatio a common source between Ethics and Right. Then, it explores how in the Metaphysics of Morals the connection between law and incentive constitutes a more relevant criterion to distinguish ethical lawgiving from juridical lawgi…Read more

15Beyond a diachronic indifference? Grounding the normative commitment towards intergenerational justiceCritical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy 26 (1): 120-135. 2023.In this essay, we aim at framing the ‘negative emotion’ of indifference, starting from its diachronic declination, which seems to beneficiate from a form of justification from the moral point of view (§1). In order to prevent indifference as an outcome – together with its intrinsic motivational strength –, we introduce a methodological account to frame the struggle of motivation internal to the single agent, by classifying different forms of ‘reasons to act’ (§2). We will develop a two-move stra…Read more

12Rethinking community in the aftermath of communitarianism: outlines of a phenomenological pathEthic@ - An International Journal for Moral Philosophy 12 (1). 2013.Three decades after it arose, the contemporary Communitarianism and the questions it raised still appear to beworthy of serious attention.

The first question asks how something can be shared amongst multiplebeings who are divided by emotional, ethical…Read more

10Towards a “Human Enhancement Society”? Opportunities for an Aristotelian Approach to Frame the QuestionHumana Mente 7 (26). 2014.The essay is subdivided into three parts. In the first and introductory one the current debate on human enhancement is presented, with specific reference to its interdisciplinary characteristics and to the aspects which explicitly challenge “the human condition” as a whole. The second and third parts attempt to frame the comprehensive area of questioning opened by such a perspective, which is grounded in the practical philosophy of Aristotle – a model that seems particularly neglected within the…Read more

5Climate Change and the Motivational GapIn Pellegrino Gianfranco & Marcello Di Paola (eds.), Handbook of Philosophy of Climate Change, Springer Nature. pp. 699-720. 2023.The chapter proposes first a definition of motivation and its intrinsic challenges, e.g., the expression and maintenance of motivation in a consistent form. Specific attention is devoted to the main obstacles toward the establishment of an intergenerational climate-change-sensitive motivation. The chapter explores then what could be considered the most relevant conceptual contraposition with respect to the adoption of climate-change-sensitive behaviors, both from an individual and institutional …Read more

Tra legge e virtù. La filosofia pratica angloamericana contemporanea. A cura di Angelo CampodonicoIl nuovo melangolo. 2004.Nella seconda metà del Novecento la conoscenza dell'etica anglosassone in Italia è stata alquanto parziale. Si pensava che il mondo dell'etica di lingua inglese fosse stato dominato nel Novecento dallo scientismo neopositivista o pragmatista che non riusciva a concepire l'etica se non nella forma tecnicizzata dell'analisi del linguaggio o metaetica. In questo modo si è ignorata tutta una ripresa dell'etica normativa, in particolare di Kant e di Aristotele, o la ripresa del diritto naturale che h…Read more

En la segunda sección, presento y discuto una idea metódica de armonía crítica, cuyas raíces están basadas en el marco del periodo pre-crítico y crítico. Finalmente, como presentación del e…Read more
