The Notion of Eikos Within Conspiracy Theories. A Rhetorical Analysis
2022
Based on the analysis of one specific conspiracy theory, this paper will explore, from the rhetorical framework, the antic concept of likelihood [eikos]. Indeed, we believe that the rhetorical approach could allow us, on a larger scale, to (re)question, in the light of contemporary challenges, the complex relationship we have with the notions of rationality and truth. More precisely, to proceed with the rhetorical analysis, we will mobilise two types of logical reasoning: first, “the logic of the pot” argument from pragmatic logic and second, the logic of amplification and poetization of discourse. This will allow us to draw some comparisons between conspiracist speeches and, respectively, …
The Role of Searle's Constitutive Rules for the Rational Criticizability of Institutional Reality
2013
My hypothesis is that we can derive the normative conditions that institutions and institutional acts have to meet in order to be rationally acceptable/recognizable from the logical structure of institutional reality. Developing Searle's achievements on the constitutive role of speech acts in the construction of institutional reality and on their character of institutional acts, I'll show that the same types of constitutive rules underlying illocutionary acts also underlie institutional reality. I’ll then argue that we can derive a specific set of normative criteria for the rational criticizability of institutional acts from these constitutive rules in the same way that we can derive normat…
Beyond the eidetics of living beings: contingency, plasticity, individuality
2021
Saving living phenomena means saving their contingency, their plasticity, their individuality. A fruitful dialogue between metaphysics, phenomenology and morphology can be of help to investigate the ontological question of form, giving us the possibility to investigate the question of form and its epistemological significance providing a revision of that eidetic approach which instead is in danger of losing the sense of the continuous plastic morphogenesis of living beings.

Tra norme e convenzioni. Ipotesi sul senso letterale
2015
La nozione di signifcato letterale è al centro di un dibattito che coinvolge fgure disciplinari eterogenee: teorici del diritto, studiosi di semiotica e flosof del linguaggio sono tra i principali protagonisti di un continuo lavoro di revisione teorica che ha come oggetto d’indagine questa nozione. I lavori di François Récanati, tra cui le ricerche confuite nel fondamentale Literal Meaning (2004), hanno contribuito ad accrescere e valorizzare l’importanza di molte questioni correlate. Il rapporto tra signifcato letterale e convenzioni è divenuto, in particolare, una tappa di rifessione obbligata: è frequente, infatti, presentare i signifcati letterali come signifcati stabilmente convenziona…

La metafora della guerra e il coronavirus. Osservazioni sulla carriera della metafora.
2021
Il dibattito pubblico sul coronavirus è stato caratterizzato dall’uso pervasivo della metafora della guerra. Fin dall’inizio la concettualizzazione della pandemia nei termini di guerra è stata tematizzata da giornalisti e linguisti che nehanno messo in luce i limiti. In questo articolo tematizzerò questo dibattito,discutendo l’appropriatezza della metafora bellica per concettualizzare lapandemia. Sosterrò, rifacendomi a Dedre Gentner che si tratta di una metafora che funziona finché restainconsapevole e, pertanto, la massiccia operazione di tematizzazione, porta inevitabilmente ad una perdita dei suoi egfetti perlocutivi.
DIAGNOSIS IN CORPUS HIPPOCRATICUM: (ALSO) A QUESTION OF TRUST
2017
In this article we will begin by giving a general overview of diagnosis in Corpus Hippocraticum, by analyzing its epistemological structure. We will then focus on the following three strictly connected questions: - What is the role of the narrative dimension, and in particular the relationship between semeia and logoi, in diagnostic process? - What role does trust (pistis) play - in different ways - in the diagnostic process in the triadic relation of doctor-patient-disease? - Is there a relationship between the role of trust and the epistemological status of medical diagnosis?
Talis pater, talis filius: the role of discursive strategies, thematic narratives and ideology in Cosa Nostra
2018
The discursive analysis of criminal organizations’ family dynamics and ideological devices may provide important insights into the inner functioning of these groups. In this article, we describe and analyze a specific set of discursive strategies and the thematic narratives emerging from a TV interview with Giuseppe Riina, a member of Cosa Nostra and the son of one of the most important mafia bosses. Our analyses demonstrate the existence of recurring ideological devices such as reductionism, amoralism, familism, verticalism, normalism, victimism and religious relativism. The results are discussed in light of previous research that examines how discursive strategies and narratives may repre…
