4Vulnerability and the End of the World. Trying to Read the Post-pandemic Age (with Karl Jaspers and Ernesto De Martino)In Stefania Achella & Chantal Marazia (eds.), Vulnerabilities: Rethinking Medicine Rights and Humanities in Post-pandemic, Springer Verlag. pp. 45-57. 2023.This essay aims to explore the notion that the preventive measures and restrictions imposed during the pandemic exposed a significant aspect of our vulnerability. The pressure to maintain distance from objects and people and recognize their potential threat compelled us to adopt the behaviors of those afflicted with delusions, such as end-of-the-world hallucinations.

10Gli involucri tra forma e vita: per una difesa dell’inautenticoDiscipline filosofiche. 27 (1): 175-188. 2017.The present essay analyses Jasper’s concept of “Gehäuse”. The Gehäuse, “cases” or “shells”, are the forms that define subjectivity, which we work very hard to construct. When the subject experiences change or development, though, the “shell” can become too rigid and suffocating, so the subject feels the need to get out of that form, at the risk of ending up like “an oyster without the shell”. In Jaspers’ perspective these “casings” are unavoidable and their dismissal is a question of “metamorp…Read more
