The New Moral Power of Minorities
2018
The model of three interrelated social entities proposed by Gabriel Mugny to account for the role of active minorities in social innovation and change retains all its relevance and heuristic value (cf. Mugny, 1982). However, the fight of the civil rights movements of the ’60s transformed the moral perspective from which the majority regards their own behaviors towards social minorities. This resulted in an immorality judgment of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors that had long been regarded as natural. Thus a change has been effected on the relationships between majority and minority groups, providing minorities with a new moral power. As a result of such a new moral representation of p…
The residence permit for third-country nationals who are victims of human trafficking: A double-face instrument between compliance strategy and prote…
2017
Purpose The aim of the present study is to explore institutional design strategies that promote compliance by regulating peculiar sorts of agents, namely, human trafficking victims, starting from the point of view that institutions assume addressee virtue, but instead should consider the hypothesis of non-compliance or that the measures adopted reveal their inefficiency to satisfy the goals they were thought for, or that they are applied to obtain scopes, which are different from the ones they were conceived for. Design/methodology/approach Different methodological approaches, both deductive and inductive, are combined in the present paper, together with comparative and philosophical insig…
The political, legal and moral scope of the universal declaration of human rights: pending issues
2018
With the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a new era began in the recognition and guarantee of human rights in the international area. However, since the moment of its approval, this text has received negative evaluations designed to relegate it to the background. The responses to these criticisms allow us to review their political and legal scope, and put it in value as a reference model in the field of human rights, delving into the pending issues to strengthen it. This is intended, on the seventieth anniversary of the Declaration, to insist that this remains an essential bridge to clarify standards that can serve as a basis for discussion between different cultures a…
Derechos humanos y virtudes fundamentales
2013
Al establecer los derechos humanos dentro de un constitucionalismo democrático en vez de hacerlo en la verdad de la persona, los legalismos entran en un círculo infinito. Entonces, es necesario asentarlos en un fundamento pre-legal, previo a toda deliberación que incluya las virtudes clásicas de la coexistencia humana que hacen posible cualquier proceso democrático. Aunque este documento se centra básicamente en la justicia, el éxito, el coraje y la templanza como los goznes de toda virtud, también se refiere al valor del compañerismo, la simplicidad, la austeridad, la lealtad y la confianza hacia otros. Pero todo este marco axiológico nos obliga naturalmente a mirar hacia la familia, donde…

The article pays special attention to intercultural dialogu…
Philosophy and science: the axes of evil in disability studies?
2007
In this review, I concentrate on analysing the response Tom Shakespeare’s Disability rights and wrongs has awoken in the disability studies community. I argue that the complicated relationship between politics and science is the underlying cause for many controversies in disability studies. The research field should regain its autonomy and scrutinise properly its ontological premises. The field of disability studies in the UK is in turmoil. During the past 10 years or so, there have been several debates that have revolved around the social model of disability. The latest source of a heated debate is Tom Shakespeare’s Disability rights and wrongs . Many of us working outside the UK have foll…
Oblio, identità e verità (parte seconda)
2022
Può esistere un diritto a dimenticare a fronte di indiscutibile diritto a ricordare, senza che si consegni alle Corti il potere di riscrivere la storia eliminando frammenti della sua memoria? È attorno tale interrogativo che si snodano le riflessioni dell’autore, dirette ad accertare l’esistenza e la natura di un diritto all’oblio, inteso come diritto ad essere dimenticati. La rivoluzione digitale ha consentito la creazione di un archivio infinito e permanente, ma legittimo appare il dubbio circa l’opportunità di un suo indiscriminato sviluppo e di una illimitata tutela del diritto alla memoria, a fronte di istanze di tutela individuale di dignità umana. La risposta, secondo l’autore, è nel…
La protratta inerzia nell'esigere il credito tra remissione tacita, Verwirkung e divieto di abuso del diritto.
2022
Il saggio muove da un recente sentenza della Corte di cassazione in tema di protratta inerzia nell'esercitare un diritto di credito non ancora prescritto. La Suprema corte ha ritenuto che tale inerzia protratta nel tempo, se suffragata da elementi circostanziali oggettivamente idonei a ingenerare nel debitore un affidamento nella remissione del diritto di credito da parte del creditore per facta concludentia, determina che la improvvisa richiesta di integrale pagamento costituisca abuso del diritto. Sul modello della Verwirkung, elaborata nell’esperienza tedesca, il diritto così esercitato deve ritenersi tacitamente rinunciato. Il saggio critica tanto la soluzione quanto l'impianto dogmatic…
On Sustainable Management in Local Governance of Water: a Prospective Localized Study
2006
In the face of the changes in the planet's natural resources and of their unequal distribution, it is becoming more urgent that contemporary societies oversee environmental assets in a global manner. Although international directives, when they are transposed into national laws, may set specific objectives, meeting them at the local level is as yet an uneven enterprise. Nevertheless we hope to demonstrate, using a case-study involving local tensions over water resources, that public management of the crisis may be developed that effectively involves the civic society, by using the incentives and enforcement tools of central government and of local institutions.
Temas e interpretaciones del derecho sucesorio italiano
2021
El articulo quiere mostrar que las interpretaciones de las instituciones del derecho de sucesiones que consideran el interés familiar, como expresión del principio de solidaridad (cada vez más en una protección patrimonialista de la legitimidad), siempre prevalente sobre todos los demás intereses, ya no pueden ser compartidas, porque la solidaridad no se distingue del personalismo. Modernizar el derecho de sucesiones no significa tener que abdicar en favor del contrato, sino descubrir el valor de la autonomía privada y el potencial del acto de última voluntad. Es la centralidad de la persona humana y no sólo el principio de solidaridad (más aún si se entiende en un sentido patrimonialista) …
