Die Unauflöslichkeit der Ehe nach Amoris laetitia: Versuch einer theologischen Auseinandersetzung mit Bedenken mancher polnischer Moraltheologen

2020

The publication of Amoris laetitia initiated numerous discussions in the circles of theologians who focus on the question of the possibility of sacraments for remarried divorced couples. One of the fundamental theological questions in reference to marriage is the problem of the indissolubility. The apostolic exhortation shows no chapter or any point about the indissolubility of marriage but Amoris laetitia in numerous places talks about the problem of divorce and the stable indissoluble character of marriage. The article presents doubts of Polish moral theologians with regard to the indissolubility of marriage and attempts to explain and to answer them. The problem concerns two kinds of arg…

Some Philosophical Remarks on the Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’

2016

In this paper, I aim at interpreting the project of the encyclical as a sort of paradigmatic turn in the way of conceiving Christian faith. At paragraph 49, it is underlined that a “true ecological approach always becomes a social approach” and this implies the need of hearing “both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor”. In my view, by uniting the two categories of “nature/creation” and “poverty”, the encyclical implicitly builds an ideal bridge between Pope Francis’ paradigmatic turn and that “political turn” invoked by the Catholic theologian J. B. Metz from the end of the sixties through the proposal of a “New Political Theology”. Indeed, the excesses of the neo-liberal paradigm …

Pluralismo religioso come nuovo umanesimo nell'età-postsecolare

2018

Overcoming the common distinction between religiosity and laicity, it is possible to find the condition for a development of a religious pluralism (as a kind of new humanism) in the interreligious dialogue, based on an epistemological turn of theology and on a hermeneutic approach to otherness.

Giordano Bruno: quanto può una vita?

2020

Giuliano Montaldo’s Giordano Bruno is a biopic that marks a turn in the history of Italian biographical cinema. This essay analyses this movie in the light of Bruno’s thought, highlighting its relevance for the present “biographical turn” as well as the importance of film theory and practice in the framework of the so-called “Italian Thought”. By considering them as strictly intertwined, the essay aims at underlying the crucial theoretical role played by biopics in the definition of specific key concepts of the present time.

Review of Hasan Hanafi's volume: The Islamic Theology of Liberation, edited by Massimo Campanini

Islamic Political Theology

2021

Can we affirm that a political theology exists in Islam? This apparently simple question is the core of Massimo Capanini and Marco Di Donato's edited collection of essays. Considering the wide range of meanings of political theology this book contains essays written by different authors having their own, specific, and specialized, point of view on the topics, from Shia and Sunni political thought, to Islamic classic philosophy, and philosophers until arriving at contemporary Muslim thinkers.

Religione e razionalità comunicativa. Juergen Habermas e la " Nuova Teologia Politica"

2015

Jürgen Habermas’ recent work is focused on the relationship between reason and faith in what he suggest that we should name post-secular society. Habermas argues that traditional religions such as Christianity can have semantic contents very useful to uphold a moral motivation in order to contrast the instrumental reason of the globalized markets. I will try to show that these recent developments of Habermas’ theories risk to conflict with some elements of his previous approach. As a consequence, I suggest that we carefully look to the critiques that the catholic theologian J. B. Metz made to Habermas’ previous approach. In fact, I argue that Metz’s proposal of a “New Political Theology”, w…

Les jeux vidéo comme instruments de techno-transe

2016

International audience; This article aims to reopen the genealogy of video games, studying the similarities they share with what the author calls ‘techno-trance devices’. These devices, which are contemporary to the first video games in the early 1960s, rely on the creative hijacking of laboratory instruments. They share numerous technical and media properties with video games. Moreover, there are some records of these techno-trance devices being used during religious practices at the time, which might lead to speculation of a latent trance influence in video games as apparatuses. These shared properties between video games and these devices, derived from counterculture, are thus studied th…
