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. The Prologue ends with an examination of the Dummettian concept of proto-thought, as a thought whose vehicle is not language, which seems to open the way for the use of the empirical sciences in the construction of a theory of thought.

Linguaggio. Il discorso giuridico tra linguaggio e azioni
2019
Law uses language and it is a language for doing things. The contribution traces the different lines in which the relationship between law and language has been studied, both considering language as the tool of law, and considering language as part of law. This second aspect emerges in the context of the linguistic turn, where the point of view of participants is central.
