DEFINIZIONE E PREDICAZIONE: DA FREGE AD ARISTOTELE
2018
La ripubblicazione di un volume apparso nel 2005 in una casa editrice minore è occasione di ripensare la letteratura critica sul confronto fra Aristotele e Frece nell'ultimo cinquantennio. Aristotele e Frege sono concordemente ritenuti i padri della logica e dell'analisi del linguaggio. Ma è opinione comune che, in materia di logica e di analisi del linguaggio, Frege abbia detto di più, e meglio, di Aristotele. L'autore cerca di ribaltare questo luogo comune. Mentre la teoria della predicazione di Frege presenta suoi termini teorici ('concetto', 'oggetto', 'verità' etc.) come termini primitivi, non uteriormente passibili di definzione, Aristotele fonda la sua teoria della predicazione su un…
Prologue to the Spanish translation of Michael Dummett, Origins of analitical philosophy
2020
After an examination of the motivations behind the writing of 'Origins of analitical philosophy,' the discussion moves on to themes which are central to Dummett's book such as: the priority thesis, the linguistic turn, the comparison between some important aspects of Frege's and Husserl's philosophies, the relationship between language and thought.

Truth, Negation and Meaning
2013
‘True’ and ‘False’ are defined through a linguistic rule requiring the negation operator. This is the elaboration of an idea proffered for the first time by the Stoics on the basis of some remarks by Aristotle and then in modern times by Frege and Wittgenstein. Another thesis of this essay is the following: the true/false rule is a sort of UR-Regel underlying all linguistic practices (including prayers and commands) and all human cultures. Reinterpreting the notion of Spielraum put forward by Wittgenstein in 4.463 of the Tractatus, I will present an implicational pragmatic theory of a true proposition. Jokes and reductio ad absurdum are explained as examples of Spielraum.
