10La « Révolte des pulsions » : la puissance, la Bildung et le concept Schélérien de sublimationPhenomenology and Mind 25 (25): 92. 2023.At the time of the fragile Weimar Republic, when the crisis of parliamentary democracy was accompanied by a “frightening massification of life” and of public opinion, Scheler posed a challenge: How to achieve a cultural and spiritual transformation that can contribute to a true rebirth of Germany and Europe? If this renaissance is to be achieved, Germany and Europe must be examined as a whole, and the ideas underlying their institutions must be renewed. Cosmopolitanism and the age of integration…Read more

91Che “effetto” fanno i colori sull’organismo? La prospettiva di Kurt GoldsteinMateriali di Estetica 10 (1): 175-197. 2023.The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between “health” and the “efficacy of colours” on human life. What is the importance of colours in our life? An interesting case, from a biological and philosophical point of view, is the neurologist and psychologist Goldstein’s investigation on colours. The first part of this article deals with his holistic theory of the human organism. The second part has to do with Goldstein and Rosenthal’s study on the effect of colours on the human organism …Read more

236„Schatten der Irresponsivität“: Pathos ohne Response/Response ohne Pathos. Trauma, Widerstand und Schelers Begriff der seelischen Kausalität”Phenomenology and Mind (23): 120-133. 2022.This paper discusses possible forms of loss or weakness of the ability to interact with others and the ways in which this arises. In particular, in the context of socio-affective knowledge and related failures, it focuses on certain deficits that primarily involve the body. The article aims to show that the “destiny” of our inner drives and our lives—the specific solutions to which they are forced in their vicissitudes—is less “blind” than it appears, leaving (albeit minimal) margins of escape, …Read more

Archive International Pour L’Anthropologie, la Psychopathologie Et la Psychothérapie Phénoménologiques 34 (31-34): 216-235. 2022.This paper deals with a classical issue that remains at the core of the contemporary philosophical debate: the fact that the meaning of life is interlaced—in both negative and positive ways, with respect to morality—with happiness. On some historical conceptions, individual happiness must be sacrificed for the moral (universal, objective) good of a life, where the good fundamentally coincides with the meaning of life. On other approaches, happiness and flourishing (where flourishing is understoo…Read more

171The World as "‘Representation": Scheler’s Philosophy of PsychopathologyIn Susan Gottlöber (ed.), Max Scheler in Dialogue, . pp. 63-100. 2022.Max Scheler’s Formalism – and other of his essays on the philosophy of psychology, such as The Idols of Self-Knowledge and Ressentiment – continues to be in dialogue with contemporary philosophers of mind, psychiatrists and neuroscientists. Moving essentially from Formalism and essays from the same period, this paper provides an outline of a genuine Schelerian philosophy of psychopathology, investigating the close connection between “identity” and “freedom”. Not only did Scheler contribute to ph…Read more

108Identity Disorders and Environment. A Phenomenological Model of DelusionIn H. R. Sepp (ed.), Phänomenologie und Ökologie, . pp. 132-146. 2020.In this paper, I am generally concerned with certain mental disorders and the doxastic attitudes that sometimes characterize them. According to recent Anglo-American philosophical studies on this topic, the latter involve beliefs that have somehow “gone wrong”: strange or irrational beliefs and cases of “motivated irrationality”. I aim to focus on pathological and deceptive phenomena such as delusion and self-deception. From a phenomenological perspective, these can also be investigated with reg…Read more

159Felicità e significato dell’esistenza. Il contributo della fenomenologia all’analisi della «sindrome della felicitàDialegesthai. Rivista Telematica di Filosofia 21 1-41. 2020.This paper examines the connection between happiness and the meaning of life, where life is meant in terms of both its potentiality and its fragility, as incorporating both health and disease. Fundamentally, the problem at hand is an ethical or axiological one since it concerns the value of life and people’s judgments about the value of their own lives and existence—people who more or less share a world with others and who, consequently, must respect certain universal values. These values can co…Read more

1La felicità sulle spalle». Modi positivi di esperire la propria soggettivitàMateriali di Estetica 3 (7): 226-274. 2020.The issue of the nature of happiness or well-being and that of the role that it plays in the meaningful life of people are widely debated today, not only in the theoretical ambit, but also in the empirical one. Most philosophers and psychologists, above all in the Anglophone community, privilege, from this point of view, the traditional paradigms of hedonism or eudemonism. After having expounded my perplexities regarding these models, I present a positive phenomenological account of happiness. F…Read more

192Autenticità e Alterità: Il ruolo dell’esemplarità nella trasformazione morale di sé .DYNAMIS. Rivista Di Filosofia E Pratiche Educative 1 (1). 2022.The terms “destiny” and “fate” are often used interchangeably in common parlance. In the course of history, in its relation to morality and religion, fate has sometimes prevailed over destiny as an irrational law or necessity capable of determining the course of events according to an inscrutable order. Scheler— whose philosophy inspired this contribution on authenticity as a fundamental quality of one’s identity—excludes all possible forms of fatalism. In this regard, he phenomenologically dist…Read more
