Oltre il dilemma monismo/dualismo: l’ontologia non riduzionista della coscienza nel naturalismo biologico di John Searle
2006
La relazione mira a testare la fecondità del modello naturalista ed antiriduzionista dell’ontologia della coscienza elaborato da John Searle alla luce della sua capacità di superare l’apparentemente inevitabile dilemma monismo/dualismo. La posizione searleana rivela la propria attendibilità nella sua capacità di superare le aporie concettuali alle quali sembrerebbero esporsi alcune tra le più avanzate proposte teoriche contemporanee sull’ontologia della coscienza, con riferimento in particolare alle proposte elaborate da Dennett e Chalmers in chiave rispettivamente eliminativista e dualista. Si analizza inoltre la proposta searleana in ordine alla sua capacità di proporre una soluzione conv…
Recensione a John R. Searle, La mente, Raffaello Cortina Editore, Milano, 2005
2005
La recensione mette in rilievo la fecondità teorica della filosofia della mente di Searle, per la prima volta presentata in questo volume come teoria unitaria del mentale capace di far fronte efficacemente, in una prospettiva naturalista ed antiriduzionista capace di superare il tradizionale dilemma tra monismo e dualismo, ai principali problemi sul tappeto del dibattito contemporaneo, dal problema della coscienza a quelli dell'intenzionalità, della causalità mentale e del libero arbitrio.
Monopoles and dualities in 3d N=2 quivers
2021
Seiberg-like dualities in 2+1d quiver gauge theories with 4 supercharges are investigated. We consider quivers made of various combinations of classical gauge groups U(N), Sp(N), SO(N) and SU(N). Our main focus is the mapping of the supersymmetric monopole operators across the dual theories. There is a simple general rule that encodes the mapping of the monopoles upon dualizing a single node. This rule dictates the mapping of all the monopoles which are not dressed by baryonic operators. We also study more general situations involving baryons and baryon-monopoles, focussing on three examples: SU−Sp, SO−SO and SO−Sp quivers.
Elimination of spurious kinematic modes in hybrid equilibrium elements
2011
Hybrid stress elements are proposed as alternative to standard finite elements for linear and non linear analysis. Hybrid stress formulation is developed in a rigorous mathematical setting and an original approach for elimination of spurious kinematic modes is presented. Hybrid equilibrium method is compared to classical displacement based method by linear elastic analysis of some well known structural examples.
Hybrid equilibrium elements for accurate stress analysis
2010
It is widely recognized that displacement elements produce poor stress fields, which do not satisfy strong equilibrium conditions. In several fields of computational mechanics, such as cohesive crack propagation and cohesive delamination, stress fields drive all the nonlinear phenomena and very fine meshes have to be employed in order to avoid numerical instabilities. In fact, inter-element equilibrium condition is generally not satisfied and stress fields can abruptly change between adjacent elements, producing strong inconvenient in crack propagation analysis. In the present paper hybrid stress elements are proposed as alternative to standard finite element for linear and non linear analy…
Il tramonto dottrinario del mito della giurisdizione unica alla luce dell’esperienza tra Orlando e Mortara
2019
The work concerns with the evolution of the italian system of administrative justice in XIX cent. between monism and dualism in the light of the most important italian scholarship
“Pensare con” i popoli indigeni dell’Amazzonia i rapporti tra uomo e cosmo
2020
Despite the devastation produced by centuries of European colonization, Amerindian societies have maintained worldviews and conceptions of humanity which present a great richness, originality and variety. As shown both by Lévi-Strauss (1992) and, in a study perspective closer to Eliade's approach, by Sullivan (1988), they share some common characteristics which it is useful to compare, by difference and analogy, with those of Euro-Western cosmologies. As Viveiros de Castro argued with specific reference to the indigenous cosmologies of the Amazon, the importance of the aspects of relationality of reality, its eminently transformative dynamic nature, the ontological multiplicity of its compo…
A non-reductionist Physiologism. Nietzsche on Body, Mind and Cosciousness
2013
This paper addresses the following questions from the point of view of Nietzsche’s philosophy: What is the mind, and which kind of relationship does it hold to the body? Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to show that Nietzsche’s philosophy suggested a view of the mind that allows to outline an alternative stance to both mentalism and physicalism, as well as to both dualism and reductionism. It is argued that Nietzsche’s rehabilitation of the body as the specific seat of the mind in opposition to the Cartesian supremacy of the Ego still is of a great interest for contemporary philosophy, since it is not equivalent either to a reversed form of Cartesian dualism or to a physicalist reducti…
Use of tailored intraperitoneal ePTFE dual mesh in permagna inguinal hernia
2012
Here we report a case of a giant inguinoscrotal hernia in an elderly patients treated by means of an open positioning of intraperitoneal ePTFE dual mesh. In patients with giant inguinoscrotal hernia the forceful introduction of viscera in abdominal cavity and primary wall closure is burnened from respiratory complication, abdominal compartment syndrome, and defects in wound healing thus exposing the patients to further morbidity and mortality risk. The management of these patients is difficult because of the high occurrence of morbidity factors that affect the success on intervention independently of the technique of surgical repair. The tension- free technique we adopted consented us to ob…
USE OF INTRAPERITONEAL PTFE DUAL-MESH IN A GIANT INCISIONAL HERNIA AFTER RENAL TRANSPLANTATION: A CASE REPORT
2008
Objectives: We evaluated the incidence of incisional hernia after kidney transplantation, predisposing factors and the results of surgical repair of a giant incisional hernia by intraperitoneal PTFE dual mesh. Patients and methods: We report our experience about an incisional hernia in a 55 years male after renal transplantation treated with an intraperitoneal dual mesh prosthesis. The cause of incisional hernia was probably due to an urinoma for a total necrosis of distal graft ureter that needed to reopen in 2sd day post transplant with primary fascial approximation. Thirty days after transplantation we discovered a large incisional hernia that rapidly became monstrous with migration of o…
