IL RITORNO DEL RIMOSSO. CARL SCHMITT E L’ULTIMO HABERMAS
2018
In this essay, I propose to look at Habermas’ recent work like an implicit recognition of the theoretical value of some Carl Schmitt’s ideas. Regardless of the harsh criticism that Habermas manifests towards Schmitt’s political theology in his latest essays.
Tra immanenza e trascendenza. Saggi teologico-politici su e oltre Carl Schmitt
2019
L’Occidente e l’Europa stanno attraversando oggi una fase di grande trasformazione dovuta a fattori di tipo economico, politico e culturale.
