Reasons, Rules, Exceptions. Towards a Psychological Account
2018
In this paper we defend a psychological account of rule-based reasoning, specifically of the relationship between rules and exceptions. The topic of our inquiry are the relations between rules, the reasons underlying them, and exceptions. In analysing these relations, first, we outline an apparent paradox, the “paradox of rules”, and a related problem, the “problem of reconsideration”. Then, we propose a solution to, or better dissolution of, the paradox, grounded in an account of the psychological processes underlying rule-application and reconsideration. We claim, that is, that the problem of reconsideration should be answered by appealing to matters of sheer psychological fact. The upsho…
Genealogia della normatività. La normatività come controllo
2018
In this paper I draw the outline of a psychological genealogy of normativity: an account of normativity as a complex neuro-psychological fact, entirely analysable in non-normative terms. As a first step, I introduce two of the main problems faced by the genealogical approach. I call the first one “Gibbard problem”: what kind of neuro-psychological state is normative judgment? I call the second one “irreducibility of normativity problem”: normative dynamics seem to be irreducible to causal dynamics. As a second step, I examine the “dual model” of the psychology of normative judgment developed by J. Haidt and J. Greene. I argue that the dual model is not able to solve the aforementioned probl…
Potere. Una rilettura di Michel Foucault
2019
Questo libro propone una dettagliata analisi critica del discorso di Michel Foucault sul potere, evidenziando le equivocità, le tensioni, le incongruenze che lo attraversano, e le trasformazioni che subisce nel corso del tempo. L’analisi mostra come, nei suoi ultimi anni di vita, le idee di Foucault vadano progressivamente convergendo verso una concezione del potere significativamente diversa da quella, apparentemente espressa nelle opere e nei corsi della metà degli anni settanta, che ha dominato la ricezione del suo pensiero da parte sia dei critici che degli apologeti. Alla luce di questa concezione più tarda, diventa possibile ricomporre tensioni e incongruenze in un sistema concettuale…
Eight Questions for the Speakers
2019
In this paper, we raise a few questions for Bartosz Brozek, Monica Bucciarelli and Philip Johnson-Laird. The questions we ask to Bucciarelli and Johnson-Laird concern the nature of the “sense of correctness” which is at the heart of our normative judgments and reasoning, and the status of the laws of logic relating to mental models. Our questions to Brozek concern the distinction he traces between rudimentary and abstract rules, the role of language in normative behaviour, and the role of mental simulation in the understanding of abstract rules.
Human Rights & Security: Justifying Exceptions
2017
Since its introduction in the 1990s1, the concept of securitization has received widespread attention well beyond the field of international relations in the context of which it first appeared. The concept indicates the discursive process in which: (i) an agent claims (securitization move) the necessity to adopt exceptional measures which bring about serious violations of otherwise binding rules, in order to protect a certain value from a grave and extraordinary threat, with the scope of convincing a specific audience to accept those measures and the violations to follow; (ii) the move is successful and the audience effectively accepts the exceptional measures (securitization). One of the p…
