Prote Hyle. Notions of Matter in the Platonic and Aristotelian Traditions
2017
How do we experience matter? Does it present itself to the senses? Or is it only an empty substratum that cannot be grasped if deprived of all sensible qualities? Is it perceived as a continuum, or rather intellectually reconstructed through mental and logical forms? Or is it that the very idea of a continuum is itself the outcome of mental abstraction? The nature of matter has been a central issue for philosophy since its inception. The constant oscillation of ancient thought between ma er as indeterminateness that does not have a concept and does not even properly exist - and matter as a principle that allows one to think plurality and otherness, that reaches even into the realm of the in…

Are Humans Poor at Arguing? From the ‘Argumentative Theory of Reasoning’ back to a Rhetorical Theory of Argumentation
2018
Starting from Sperber and Mercier’s theory (2011) on the relationship between reasoning and arguing, we will try to rethink the link between rhetoric and argumentation. Using Aristotelian rhetoric as a theoretical framework, we will focus on two related features: 1) the nature and the role of argumentation inferences in classical models of rhetoric; 2) the role of normativity in assessing a naturalistic description of what we make when we argue.
Rhetorical deliberation. A sustainable normativism from a Gorgianic-Aristotelian perspective
2018
Starting from the discursive turn that has characterized democracy since the 80s of the last century, our article tries to outline a form of sustainable normativism. To do this, we use a theoretical framework derived from ancient Greek rhetoric and in particular from the reflection of Gorgias and Aristotle. In our perspective, on the one hand, the Gorgianic view is a useful reminder of the role that the pursuit of power and the possibility of conflict unavoidably play in the form of argumentation specific to the public sphere, that is, deliberation. On the other hand, Aristotle, thanks to his emphasis on the link between logos and desire and his analysis of truth available in deliberative c…
Obiecta, opposita, antikeimena nel De anima di Aristotele
2012
The word antikéimena is often translated by modern editors of De anima with the expression "correlative objects", rather than as "opposites". The aim of this paper is to present some arguments against this translation, insomuch as it disregards the link established with the concept of opposition between De anima and the Aristotelian theory of motion and change.

¿Qué deseaban los situacionistas? Notas parciales sobre la revolución a partir de Mario Perniola
2009
Este ensayo evalúa el posicionamiento crítico de Mario Perniola respecto al movimiento situacionista. Frente a su interpretación, proponemos centrarnos en la cuestión revolucionaria y en su posible estructura, tomando como punto de partida la definición marxista de comunismo como 'negación de la negación'. Cuando el problema es así revisado, parece disolverse cualquier tentación de analizar el proyecto situacionista bajo un paradigma estético, o a través de una subjectividad poética. Esta reorientación del problema nos permite, además, ampliar el marco teórico para llevar a cabo una inspección unitaria de la revolución, para evaluar los méritos y limitaciones de la propuesta situacionista c…
Content, Meaning and Truth
2009
In this paper we criticize the distinction that Anil Gupta draws, in his book Empiricism and Experience, between the 'absolute' and the 'effective' content of an assertion. The distinction is intended to explain how some of our assertions can connect with the world and even be true despite the fact that they involve a mistaken, even incoherent conception of things. However, we hold that the distinction has implausible consequences and should be abandoned. One of these consequences is that one and the same assertion can be both true and false, depending on which content is taken into account. Moreover, owing to the fact that the absolute content includes 'all the conceptual connections of an…
El pensament fort de la contingència. Conversa amb Giacomo Marramao
2014
Un aura de permanent 'en construcció' envolta l'activitat intel·lectual de Giacomo Marramao (Catanzaro, 1946). Les contínues reedicions revisades i ampliades de les seves obres n'ofereixen bona mostra. La seva irrupció en el món acadèmic a través de l'estudi del marxisme no ha sigut obstacle contra un decantament progressiu cap a la teoria del temps, on la reivindicació d'una nova genealogia de la forma tempus opera la reunió sota pal·li de textos clàssics de la tradició filosòfica i controvertides hipòtesis de la ciència contemporània. Una reflexió que corre en paral·lel però no aliena a la preocupació pel fenomen de la globalització i el seu impacte semàntic i simbòlic sobre la noció de p…
