If Cusanus has collated Platonic and Neoplatonic reflection, in particular from Plato, Proclus and Dionysius, h…Read more

    British Journal for the History of Philosophy 27 (5): 941-958. 2019.

    La triplice idea di economia in Ernst Mach
    Scienza E Filosofia 9. 2013.
    Ernst Mach’s economic theory, simply categorized as “principle of economy”, reveals, instead, to a greater extent its complex theoretical nature, that could be summarized in three different concepts: the “economy of thought”, applied to every scientific mind, the “economy of nature”, valid without exception in the whole nature, and the “biological economy”, an original mixture of them, extended to all living organisms. This third concept is clearly meant to limit the most extreme consequences de…Read more

This article introduces Nicholas of Cusa monadic vision of reality: the world acquires sense and value as contraction Dei, that is the ability of God’s infinite power to concentrate, individualise and actualise itself in each and every created thing by the infinite divine power.

    Cusano e la tolleranza religiosa. La fortuna del "De Pace Fidei"
    Isonomia: Online Philosophical Journal of the University of Urbino 1-15. 2013.
    The article tries to reconstruct the Wirkungsgeschichte of the De pace fidei and it focuses on some fundamental moments of its fate. Nicholas of Cusa was one of the first not just to recognize other religions' value, but also to individuate a source of richness in religious pluralism. His work had fortune since the years after its draft, the 1453, known and quoted by Eimerico da Campo, Giovanni of Segovia, Juan de Torquemada and Pope Pius II. The debate, alive and still open, around the possible…Read more
