Le motif du médecin tyran de Platon à Galien

2014

At various points in Method of medicine and in a passage in the Commentary on the Hippocratic Epidemics Galen takes up the image of the tyrant doctor employed by Plato in the famous passage in the Laws in which, to illustrate the role of the proem to the law, he introduces the contrast between doctors of freemen and doctors of slaves (Leg. IV 719e 8-720e 5) : this is an unexplored chapter of Galen’s Platonism.

La crisi italiana, i turchi, l'altro. Una lettura del XVII canto dell'Orlando furioso

2018

Il XVII canto dell’Orlando furioso non rientra nel novero dei luoghi ariosteschi irrinunciabili, essendo ritenuto uno di quei canti di raccordo necessari all’ordito della narrazione. Tuttavia, l’invettiva che vi è contenuta merita ancora qualche supplemento di indagine, sulla scorta di alcuni studi recenti. La sua peculiarità va rintracciata nello spazio letterario del classicismo civile del primo Cinquecento, al quale è accostabile per temi, modi forme, tenendo ovviamente conto del più ampio quadro della crisi politica e culturale del Rinascimento italiano. Questa rilettura consente di ritenere il tema dell’incontro/scontro con la potenza ottomana e la sua cultura ben più che una occasiona…

Né uomo né bestia. Riflessioni sulla Theriotes a partire dal VII libro dell’Etica Nicomachea

2010

In the Book VII of the Nichomachean Ethics Aristotle briefly analyzes the concept of theriotes. According to the Stagyrite, as it is well known, someone who does not feel the need to live in a community is either a beast or a god. Only a few human beings abandon their natural position between the two to move, either through exceptional virtue towards the gods, or, because of theriotes. In this sense, theriotes is once again an anthropopoietic quality that defines the Other. Despite the name, it is an entirely human deviation, characterised by an unusually cruel and monstruos behaviour, over the borderline of the moral evaluation. By this might be meant either the barbarian (among barbarians…
