33Il principio dell’unicità del vero dalla bolla Apostolici regiminis alla Rivoluzione scientificaQuaestio 14 229-256. 2014.On December 19th 1513, the papal bull Apostolici regiminis sanctioned the dogma of the immortality of the soul, imposing the defence of the Christian doctrine during the courses in philosophy.

32Dalla metafisica all’ontologia: storia di una trasformazione editorialeQuaestio 11 255-288. 2011.The bibliographical history offers an interesting point of view for a better understanding of the rise and development of ontology, as an autonomous discipline, in early modern thought.

8La naissance de l’ontologie à Saint-Gall : Jacob Lorhard et la métaphysique monastique. Un état de la questionLes Etudes Philosophiques 134 (3): 17-36. 2020.À proprement parler, la première « ontologie » de l’histoire fut publiée en 1606 par Jacob Lorhard, recteur du Gymnasium réformé de Saint-Gall. L’article examine l’ontologie de Lorhard en la replaçant dans son contexte suisse, celui d’une « municipalisation » de la théologie qui concerna aussi la métaphysique.
