Immaginazione
2022
The most recent discoveries deriving from the exchanges between aesthetics and neuroscience – especially those stressing the importance of the sensory-motor system in both scientific and aesthetic experience – have raised a particular attention on the subjectivity of mental processes, especially those related to the knowledge processes, and on the role of imagination. These results have, still nowadays, influence and confirmation in literature, which many scholars interested in a cognitivistic approach consider as related, if not just the same, to the ability of mankind to make tools and, thus, to make sense. An example of this reciprocal influence of neuroscience and literature is without …

The Reason of Imagination. The Blazing Worlds of Margaret Cavendish and Siri Hustvedt
2020
One of the peculiarities of 17th and 18th centuries literature is the link between knowledge and imagination, a relationship in which narration sometimes accompanies science, sometimes goes beyond it. The idea of imagination as a true means of knowledge is the subject of Margaret Cavendish’s best known work, The Blazing World (1666), where her alter ego is free to built a whole social and philosophical system based on corporality and subjectivity.

I maintain that the image displayed by the jouster was inspired by the iconography of the virgin-martyr Saint Margaret of Antioch, and I propose a theory about the identity of the lady addressed and, with less certainty, about the identity of the jouster and the occasion when the invención was displayed, using Pinar’s Juego trobado as a tool of research and invoking a passage on the sinfulness of the fashion among ladies and damsels for wearing hooped petticoats in a treatise by Hernando de Talavera.

L'eredità politica di Margaret Thatcher e la costruzione della società aperta
2014
The paper offers a prospective interpretation of Margaret Thatcher’s political legacy and offers some observations about the chances for a reproduction of her pro-freedom policies in the current historical circumstances. In so doing, the paper discusses the political relevance of classical liberalism and suggests that, if we want to increase individual freedoms and affirm the open society, we must change the “book of prescriptions” currently used by classical liberals.
