130Parafrasando Vignaux. Il posto della logica nella storia del pensiero medievaleIn Fabrizio Amerini, Simone Fellina & Andrea Strazzoni (eds.), _Tra antichità e modernità. Studi di storia della filosofia medievale e rinascimentale_. Raccolti da Fabrizio Amerini, Simone Fellina e Andrea Strazzoni, E-theca Onlineopenaccess Edizioni. pp. 974-1044. 2019.A sound historiographical account of the role of logic in the development of medieval philosophical and theological reflection requires a thorough examination of its historical roots and its theoretical implications. An apparent historiographical bias, due to the idea that only the development of contemporary formal logic enables a proper reconstruction of the whole history of logic, can be exposed by taking into account the case of the medieval discussions on the topics, starting from their lat…Read more

20The Origins of Humanities Computing and the Digital Humanities TurnHumanist Studies and the Digital Age 6 (1): 32-58. 2019.At its beginnings Humanities Computing was characterized by a primary interest in methodological issues and their epistemological background.

Lo strano caso dell’ 'intensio' e la storia della logica medievaleRivista di Storia Della Filosofia 51 (1): 95-111. 1996.Fourteenth- and fifteenth-century current historiography doesn't seem to offer a satisfactory reconstruction of medieval terminism, so as to be able to solve the problems of interpretation regarding to the notion of ‘intensio’. In order to analyse appropriately the relationship between the notion of ‘intensio’ and the mathematical representation of its ‘latitudo’, a thorough examination of the semantic nature of the notions of intensive qualities and of their logical behaviour is here attempted.

1487Common Natures and Metaphysics in John Duns ScotusQuaestio 5 (1): 543-557. 2005.The paper is about the relationship between Scotus’s notion of ‘natura communis,’ for an examination of the main features that Scotus ascribes to ‘common natures’ can shed substantial light on the nature of metaphysics in itself. Some preliminary observations on historiography are also deemed to be in order.

18Blasius Pelacani, the Paradoxes of Implication and the Notion of Logical ConsequenceIn Ignacio Angelelli & Paloma Perez-Ilzarbe (eds.), Medieval and Renaissance Logic in Spain, Proceedings of the 12th European Symposium on Medieval Logic and Semantics (Pamplona, 26-30 May 1997), G. Olms. pp. 54--97. 2000.Blasius Pelacani’s two questions on the paradoxes of implication in his commentary on the Tractatus of Peter of Spain aptly introduce to a substantial discussion of the notion of logical implication in medieval authors such as Abelard, Ockham, Scotus, and Blasius himself. Methodological assumptions on the history of logic in general are also analysed.

18Per una lettura laica della teologia medievaleDoctor Virtualis 9 199-231. 2009.Is some form of epoché possible on theological concepts? In which way? Is it possible consider their importance leaving their religious scope aside? Can the theological concepts tell us something unless we consider their essential reference to our relationship with a divine being? The answer to these questions let us to understand what means to be a secular scholar of medieval philosophy. It's impossible conversely to discuss this problem without dealing with medieval theology. And this concerns…Read more

631Nicholas of Kues and the Eicona DeiIn Alberto Melloni & Riccardo Saccenti (eds.), In the Image of God, Lit Verlag. 2010.The notion of 'imago Dei' is central in Cusanus' thought and an examination of his treatise 'De visione Dei' is crucial to the understanding that, in his view, what it means for us to be an image of God, is to engage in a process of mystical ascent, very much inspired by its Neoplatonic model, that amounts to getting to know ourselves as 'imago Dei'. It is the living experience of the unknowability of God, the 'docta ignorantia', so achieved, that constitutes the inspiring motive of his pursuits…Read more
