Tradición y modernidad en las políticas educativas en España: una revisión de las últimas décadas
2008
In the present paper, we will present an approximate outlook of a few of the more relevant issues that determine, at the same time that reflect, the Spanish educative policies deployed from 1980 up to now. This scan of the last 25 years will allow us to see (even in a superficial and inevitably partial fashion) the tension and dialectic between tradition (noted for the persistence of outdated forms of conceiving and delivering education) and modernity (bearer of innovative trends, although not exempt from ambivalence and contradictions in its own development). We will pay close attention to those axes that can work as a starting point for our reflection, namely: educative policies, organiza…
Stato, Chiesa e secolarizzazione: in dialogo con Antonio Rosmini
2021
The relation between state and Church is one of the main topics of Western political debate. In this essay I will stress that there is not a clear formula to face this topic. Therefore, it is necessary that Catholic philosophy and theology always reflect on the way this relation has to be thought as time goes by. More specifically, I will argue that the premise of liberal Catholicism, that is that a clear distinction between state and society exists, is today not more easily acceptable at all. This point is very important in order to reflect upon the relation between state and Church, political and religion, and public and private sfere in our age.
Religious spaces as continually evolving modernities: Forms of encounter with modernity in Christian Orthodoxy and Islam
2022
The present study deals with the encounter with modernity in two neighbouring religious spaces: Christian Orthodoxy and Islam. Relying on Eisenstadt’s theory about multiple modernities and on its further developments by Thomas Mergel and Kristina Stoeckl, Islamic and Christian-Orthodox dynamics in relation to the challenges of modernity are examined under two aspects: first, the decoupling between religion and culture as elaborated by Olivier Roy, and second, the development of modernist and fundamentalist currents as phenomena of modernity. The study contributes to the sketching of the profile of Islamic and the Christian-Orthodox modernities, pointing both to some of the commonalities and…

Cabiria, opera d'arte autonoma
2020
Cabiria is ‘an autonomous work of art’, between aesthetical and stylistic peculiarities. In order to legitimately recognise these specificities, we should not exalt the high level of the technical cleverness mixed with ‘tricks’ or mechanisms of technological artificiality. On the contrary, we should – first and foremost – be aware of the identity of the movie, expression of the figurative art which combines painting, sculpture, architecture, theatre and cinematograph, constitutive nucleus of a poetics of the marvellous, created by d’Annunzio’s fervid fantasy and by the director Pastrone, invention – though in a real historical context – precise as regards the chronological limits, of forms,…
Il cerchio si chiude: dall'autorialità anonima e condivisa alla scrittura collettiva
2020
L’autorialità, concepita come caratteristica ineludibile di un’opera d’arte è un’accezione nata nella modernità. È solo a partire dal rinascimento, infatti, che si assiste all’affermazione dell’autore esaltato poi nel corso del romantici- smo. il Novecento, smarcandosi dalla concezione tradizional-borghese di lette- ratura, rimette in discussione il ruolo dell’autore, proponendo nuove forme di creatività. Authoriality, considered an ineludible trait of a work of art, is an idea born of modernity. Only during the renaissance, in fact, did the author assert himself, later exalted during the age of romanticism. the twentieth century, freeing it- self from a traditional-bourgeois conception of …
A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PRIDE. ANTONIO ROSMINI’S “CATHOLIC” MODERNITY
2020
Antonio Rosmini is considered one of the leading Catholic philosophers in modern age. His reflections on politics, law and society can be very useful in facing the challenges coming from the so-called populist movements. M. Nicoletti suggests, in his last work, to consider Rosmini’s conception of human person not only as theLeitmotivof his political philosophy but, broadly speaking, as the real chance to build a society in line with the great tradition of Modernity and Christian values.
La constitución de la imagen actual del hombre
2013
The article analyses critically three dififerent models about human being: the homo faber, or tecnocratic humanism, dominant along Modernity from Descartes and Bacon to Marx; the homo natura and the homo ludens , which represent antihumanist models of the late Modernity. In front of these models we can find a fourth one: the homo patiens or excentric humanism, openned to God, others and nature. Only this model gives a consistent foundation to the universality of the rights because it identifies the concepts of human being and person.
Incertezza, precarietà, capacità di immaginazione del futuro e modernità: un confronto tra Appadurai e De Martino
2017
Though apparently distanced for their temporal and historical moment, their conceptual terminology, their interlocutors and the fields of their empirical research, it is possible to get some notable parallelisms of theoretical vision between the anthropological work of De Martino and that of Appadurai. In both cases, their starting point is in fact the uncertainty of human condition and social orders, and at the heart of their theory, there stands the issue of identifying the different kinds of ethos and cultural activity which permit people to historically and existentially confront this uncertainty through establishing their belonging to a “cultural homeland” (De Martino) or forms of soci…
Państwo opiekuńcze i przestrzeń publiczna w płynnej nowoczesności
2016
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie stanu państwa opiekuńczego i przestrzeni publicznej w epoce płynnej nowoczesności, omawianej w dziełach Zygmunta Baumana. Tekst rozpoczyna analiza zwrotu neoliberalnego w kontekście upłynniania się nowoczesnego świata. Neoliberalne myślenie zdominowało bowiem społeczne, polityczne, ekonomiczne i kulturowe aspekty życia. Na tym tle przedstawiono zjawisko społeczeństwa sieciowego, związanego z technologiami informacyjnymi i komunikacyjnymi, takimi jak Internet i telefon komórkowy, a także omówiono globalny kryzys nierówności, niweczący wysiłki podejmowane na rzecz demokracji.
