Utopía, derecho y moral en Mi lucha de K. O. Knausgård
2020
La novela autobiográfica de Knausgård es un caso paradigmático para el análisis del vínculo entre derecho y literatura, porque permite tener tres perspectivas del mismo: la del derecho en, de y como literatura. En este artículo se hace hincapié en la primera. La tesis que se defiende es que la problemática postura de Knausgård de hablar de “utopía nazi” es comprensible si se la compara con los problemas de hablar de un derecho nazi. Siendo el aspecto más criticable el relativismo moral que sustenta dicha concepción, que le impide tener una visión más cabal del elemento justificativo de las utopías y del derecho. Knausgård's autobiographical novel is a paradigmatic case for the analysis of t…
Un espacio para la pérdida: una aproximación particularista al conflicto de valores
2017
A lo largo de esta tesis, defenderé una lectura de los conflictos de valores que asume la pérdida trágica como un hecho inevitable. Desde esta lectura, allí donde dos valores o demandas entran en tensión genuina, atesorar o responder a uno de ellos comporta renunciar al otro, sin que un premio ulterior compense el daño causado por la pérdida. Por más que un sujeto o una sociedad se esfuercen en buscar una resolución consoladora, es imposible proteger todos los valores en juego y atender a todas las necesidades que afloran en este tipo de situaciones. Por ello, si los valores involucrados en un conflicto tienen un peso central en la vida de las personas afectadas, esta tensión marcará de por…
The attitude towards boycotts: determining factors
2019
According to the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior, the precedent to any human conduct is the intention to display such conduct. People’s attitudes are one of those precedents. Our work is framed within this line of research, as it seeks to analyze and explain the main determinants of attitudes towards boycotts. Thus, we understand that consumers’ attitudes towards boycott behavior depend on three fundamental beliefs: perceived legitimacy of the behavior, ethical idealism towards such behavior, and finally, ethical relativism towards boycott behavior. We emphasize legitimacy since the relevance of legitimacy processes in the businessclient relationship lies in the validation …
From Herder to Strecker: Birth and Developments of the Anthropological Notion of Culture in Germany
2023
Austrian and German anthropological traditions are considered in view of the influence they had on global anthropology. The chapter is built around the centrality of the anthropological notion of culture and cultural dynamics. The particularistic and relativist notion of culture is in fact believed to have emerged from Germany from the eighteenth century, where intellectuals have juxtaposed the term Kultur to Zivilisation. Within German anthropology, universalistic perspectives on culture have continued through the nineteenth century, as in the evolutionary approach of Gustav Klemm and Johann Jakob Bachofen. A different form of cultural universalism was introduced by Adolf Bastian with his …
A INVESTIGAÇÃO NARRATIVA EM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA E ESPORTE: QUE É E QUAL A SUA UTILIDADE
2011
Narrative inquiry is a burgeoning form of research in social sciences that has received little attention in physical education and sport sciences. In this article, we seek to balance this situation by offering an understanding of what narrative inquiry can be and can offer to our field. In order to gain some theoretical purchase on a difficult field, we first define narrative. Next, a distillation of guiding assumptions and characteristics are offered. Finally, some reasons as to why narratives may be of benefit for the field of physical education and sport. In conclusion, we consider narrative inquiry as a useful, although problematic, way of theorizing and doing research in the domains of…
Mente, linguaggio e razionalità. Il naturalismo di W.V. Quine ed il dibattito contemporaneo.
2013
Una lettura non riduzionista della filosofia della mente di W. V Quine, offre la chiave per apprezzare alcune fondamentali curvature teoriche del suo naturalismo epistemologico. Permette di evidenziare una concezione dell'osservazione quale cognitivamente permeata che non implichi forme radicali di relativismo conoscitivo e di rendere perspicua la rilevanza delle aperture sul tema dell'empatia nella comprensione dell'altro. Ne emerge, in dialogo con voci autorevoli del dibattito contemporaneo, un'interpretazione che si discosta da alcuni stereotipi storiografici consolidati e tratteggia i contorni di una peculiare concezione naturalistica della razionalità.
Submitting “Alternative Facts” to Debate: A Weberian Perspective on Post-truth Politics
2018
'Oxford Dictionaries' chose “post-truth” as the “Word of the Year 2016”, while the association of German linguists (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache) did the same for '“postfaktische Politik'”. “Alternative facts”, launched by Kellyanne Conway concerning the attendance at Donald Trump’s inaugural, was a third variant in this cluster. In this article, I shall discuss Max Weber’s parliamentary perspective on the critique of given facts and of the powers of science in relation to the debates around post-truth politics. A critical assessment of Leo Strauss’s critique of Weber as a nihilist and relativist introduces the problematic. One aim of the article is to illustrate how even trivial sloga…

Libertà e diritti tra India e Europa. Per un approccio genealogico ai valori culturali
2009
Freedom and Rights between India and Europe. A Genealogical Approach to Cultural Values - This paper will deal with the issue of human rights and multiculturalism away from cultural relativism and universalism while taking inspiration from Nietzsche’s Moral Genealogy. In particular, the concepts of karma, dharma and trivarga (an indian traditional form of particularism in the law) will be explained as they are expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most important texts of Indian philosophical literature. From this analysis it will emerge the impossibility of deducing the idea of human rights from the Sanskrit text. Not because the Bhagavad Gita adopts a communitarian conception of the s…
Sull’universalità dei diritti umani
2003
Nei pressi della locuzione ‘diritti umani’, in espressioni ordinarie e in celebri documenti, si trova spesso l’aggettivo ‘universale’. E tale aggettivo, apparentemente rassicurante ma tutto fuorché indiscusso, sarà il tema di questo decimo numero di «Kykéion». Si noti dapprima la polisemia del termine ‘universale’: in una prima accezione, significa ‘esteso a tutti’, di cui ciascuno partecipa e, riferito specificamente ai diritti umani, indica che questi dovrebbero essere riconosciuti a tutte le genti e ad ogni uomo, senza discriminazioni né eccezioni; che non dovrebbero essere il privilegio di individui particolari, di status speciali o di nazioni più agiate. In una seconda accezione, la vo…
