Alle radici dell'unità politica: polis, parola, conflitto
2016
The article tends to represent the power of the words in the greek polis, how the dialogue makes equal man to live in public space, and how this produces a seeming quiet only. On the other hand, Platon's perspective oulines a vertical power specifically with the aim to cancel every kind of conflict.
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

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.
