How to pay for the war in times of imperfect commitment. Adam Smith and David Ricardo on the Sinking Fund
2014
AbstractThe paper proposes a comparative analysis of Smith's and Ricardo's views on the sinking fund. It shows that Smith and Ricardo agreed in stressing the ineffectiveness of the sinking fund as a policy instrument targeted at public debt repayment and tax-burden relief, pointing out that its actual workings had paradoxically helped to increase rather than reduce British total debt-load. Moreover, their explanation of the sinking fund paradox integrates a defective fiscal commitment technology with powerful politicians’ incentives to siphon off the money stored in the sinking fund to meet sudden increases of public expenditure whenever the occasion arose.
Soothing Lyres and epodai: Music Therapy and the Cases of Orpheus, Empedocles and David
2014
Within the frame of the role of music in ancient Greece, this short essay focuses on the soothing effects of the lyre as evidence for the use of music not only for religious or educational purposes, but also for therapeutic ones. The music of the lyre proves useful both for the performer, and for people listening to it. The main two pieces of evidence analyzed, namely Iamblichus, De Vita Pythagorica 113, and, within a different cultural context - the biblical one - 1 Samuel XVI.16, that after many centuries was taken up again by the historian Joseph Flavius (Antiquitates Iudaicae VI 166-169), well illustrate the healing effects of music.
Universal Gravitation and the (Un)Intelligibility of Natural Philosophy
2019
This article centers on Hume's position on the intelligibility of natural philosophy. To that end, the controversy surrounding universal gravitation shall be scrutinized. It is very well known that Hume sides with the Newtonian experimentalist approach rather than with the Leibnizian demand for intelligibility. However, what is not clear is Hume's overall position on the intelligibility of natural philosophy. It shall be argued that Hume declines Leibniz's principle of intelligibility. However, Hume does not eschew intelligibility altogether; his concept of causation itself stipulates mechanical intelligibility. peerReviewed

2019
El presente artículo pretende exponer la posible influencia que la filosofía de José Ortega y Gasset ejerció sobre el filósofo español del exilio republicano Juan David García Bacca, con el fin de poder determinar hasta qué punto y, de qué modo, fue clave en la gestación del proyecto metafísico garcíabacquiano.

Par cilvēcisko lietu nepastāvību
1598
Teoloģiski ētiskais, vēsturiskais traktāts “Par cilvēcisko lietu nepastāvību” iesākas ar veltījumu dažādiem Rīgas rātskungiem. Par savstarpējo apmaiņu ar laipnībām var uzskatīt Dāvida Hilhena vēstuli grāmatas autoram un savukārt Georga Cīglera sacerēto dzeju par godu D. Hilhenam. G. Cīglers nopublicējis savā grāmatā arī Rostokas zinātnieka, vēsturnieka Dāvida Hitreja vēstuli autoram. Hitrejs raksta, ka neraugoties uz redzes problēmām, esot iepazinies ar G. Cīglera grāmatu (grāmata iznāca 1598 un 1599 gadā). Pazemīgie veltījumi ietekmīgām personām ieviesās arī tāpēc, ka sacerētāji tādējādi kompensēja trūkstošo autora honorāru, jo bagātie patricieši parasti parādā nepalika. Eksemplāriem atšķi…

"Ultra vestimenta seu ornamenta ecclesiastica que etiam dedi eidem ecclesie". Tracce di un'eredità palermitana dell'arcivescovo Jean de Carondelet (1…
2016
Lo studio, dopo una breve biografia aggiornata di Jean Carondelet, importante colto ecclesiastico e politico fiammingo, che fu anche arcivescovo di Palermo dal 1520 al 1544, ne indaga la committenza artistica (vetrate istoriate, paramenti sacri ricamati, stalli corali lignei intagliati, manoscritti liturgici miniati, dipinti, sculture marmoree) tra Franca Contea, Paesi Bassi borgognoni e la stessa Palermo, col supporto di un'inedito testamento secondo cui egli avrebbe donato già in vita "vestimenta seu ornamenta ecclesiastica" di grande valore alla cattedrale palermitana, tra cui forse la mitria e il paliotto già tradizionalmente identificati col suo cognome.
