Adam Smith and Gaetano Filangieri. Two alternatives face of enlightenment science of legislator
2017
The article proposes a comparison between the thought and works of Adam Smith and Gaetano Filangieri, two of the greatest exponents of European Enlightenment. We can find some important coincidences in their profiles. Smith and Filangieri met with outstanding international success and their works were translated into most known languages. Both were the main representative scholars of their respective schools: Scottish and the Neapolitan. Each of them planned to write a great work concerning the science of legislator but they died before completing it. Despite these resemblances, a deep difference is evident in their thought which makes their works paradigmatic of two different scientific vi…

The COMPASS experiment at CERN
2007
The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensitymuon and hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarized target inside a superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a RICH counter and both…
La "società commerciale" e il tema della corruzione nel dibattito del XVIII secolo.
2018
La tradizione repubblicana, a partire da Machiavelli, pone la corruzione come l'elemento disgregatore della convivenza civile, la cui diffusione conduce al prevalere del vantaggio del singolo sul bene della comunità e alla perdita di libertà dei cittadini. La riflessione su virtù e corruzione nei secoli XVII e XVIII assume sempre più rilievo a seguito dell'affermarsi di una moderna economia di mercato e della transizione verso forme più avanzate di capitalismo. Tale dibattito giunge al suo più maturo compimento nel tardo illuminismo quando il tema della società commerciale - l'espressione con cui Adam Smith definisce quelle organizzazioni sociali fondate sul mercato- impone un ripensamento …
Rights, the Distribution of Wealth, and Happiness: Gaetano Filangieri’s Constitutional Ideal of Justice
2018
This article presents the ideal of distributive justice of Gaetano Filangieri whose realization is entrusted to the constitutional project elaborated in his work La Scienza della Legislazione. The article shows the main features which, in the outline of the Enlightenment, distinguish the core of the Filangerian proposal: the happiness of the nation needs an equitable distribution of wealth; the definition of the perfect model of justice is founded on an original utilitarian analysis which employs elements which anticipate the marginalism of the next century; to increase both the level of national welfare and the civic participation the laws have to improve the position of the least advantag…
