Parole a doppio taglio. Per una nuova alleanza tra retorica e filosofia
2020
The paper focuses on the ambivalence of logos and the consequences this ambivalence has on the relationship between philosophy and violence. By ambivalence of language I mean the possibility that the word can be at the same time a place of overcoming conflicts but also a place of production or escalation of the conflict itself. The thesis sustained is that philosophy cannot but take charge of this ambivalence. In order to do this, however, philosophy must finally learn to look at rhetoric no longer as a rival to be fought but as an indispensable ally. The first step is to question the topical opposition between logos and bia and to accept that there is a specifically human violence made pos…
Yo logo(s): On the icono-plastic configuration of brand symbols
2015
Among the various areas with which the vast research field of branding is concerned, brand image is recognized as a territory most pertinently analyzed with semiotic tools, since it is populated by symbols that are amenable to interpretation, such as brand logos. According to Henderson and Cote (1998), logos are graphic designs that companies uses, with or without their name, to identify themselves or their products. Semiotics, and particularly structuralist semiotics (e.g., Floch 1990,1995; Landowski 1989; Fabbri 1998; Marrone 2001, 2007), has largely abandoned the scrutiny of symbols and signs as standalone objects of analysis, in favour of the conditions of meaning that underlie brand na…

Le aporie del pensare tra fondamento e concetto
1987
La relazione tra i concetti di "fondamento"e di "principio" è problematizzata con riferimento per un verso ad Hegel, e, per un verso, all'origine socratica della nozione di logos.
Plato and Antisthenes in the Phaedo: A Reflexive Reading. Part One
2019
The purpose of this study is not so much to show the presence of Antisthenes in the dialogue, but rather to examine what Plato alludes to. The controversy over ideas between the two Socratics is historically very well-attested, as can already be seen in the Cratylus. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that this controversy must have affected Plato when he was writing a dialogue in which the importance of ideas and his new logic is undeniable. Hence, this paper will investigate the following question: what impact could Antisthenes’ denominative and definitory logic have on the equally denominative and definitory logic presented in the Phaedo given that the latter work in all probability preced…
Dal Mythos al Logos. Genealogia della Pedagogical Turn
2013
It is possible to identify an original pedagogical turn starting from classical world, when the theoretical thinking and the organization of a shared public space involve in the constitution of pedagogical science, which must found an educational model useful in the new theoretical and political context. The turning point is located in the devaluation of religious-mythical education, thinking image as false, and in the founding of the paradigm of identity, based on word as true.

1987

ΛΟΓΩΙ ΘΕΩΡΗΤΟΝ. IL PRINCIPIO DI ‘OSSERVABILITÀ TEORICA’ NELLA FILOSOFIA E NELLA SCIENZA GRECHE
2019
The essay analyzes the occurrences, in ancient Greek texts, of the nexus λόγῳ (or διὰ λόγου) θεωρητόν, referring to entities that can be object of observation or speculation through the λόγος, as opposed to what is observable through sensation/perception (αἴσθησις). Attested with certainty for the first time in Epicurus’ Letter to Herodotus in con- nection with the theory of time, the concept, in later doxographers, is already connected to the physical theories of Democritus and Anaxagoras. Applied in various areas of ancient science anf philosophy, the principle of ‘theoretical observability’ (or ‘conceivability through logos’) will find a particularly fertile ground for development…
«La speranza di avere altri figli»: bios e democrazia nel logos epitaphios di Pericle
2020
Questo contributo esamina, nella consolatio ad parentes che chiude il logos epitaphios, il modo in cui Pericle propone di superare il lutto che ha colpito alcuni padri nel primo anno di guerra, invitandoli in primo luogo a generare altri figli. Ciò consentirebbe a quei padri di superare la potenziale aporia tra l’agire nell'interesse strettamente individuale e l’agire nell’interesse della grandezza della polis, obliando il dolore privato con la procreazione di altri figli e con l’onore garantito dalla memoria pubblica: verrebbe così ripristinato l’equilibrio necessario tra partecipazione democratica, condizione di rischio condivisa e adeguatezza del processo deliberativo. All’interno della …
