«La Croce di Savoia» e il liberalismo siciliano nel regno di Sardegna. 1850-51”
2007
L'articolo "La Croce di Savoia" e il liberalismo siciliano nel Regno di Sardegna: 1850-1851 ricostruisce l'esperienza editoriale del quotidiano che Francesco Ferrara fondò insieme a Emerico Amari e Vito D'Ondes Reggio nei primi anni del loro esilio dopo il fallimento della Rivoluzione del '48. Il giornale, che fu la voce dei liberali palermitani, intervenne vivacemente in tutti i principali dibattiti del Piemonte all'inizio della sua vita statutaria e divenne, anche se per breve tempo, protagonista nello scenario politico subalpino. La redazione si contraddistinse per la fiducia nel libero mercato, il sostegno alla realizzazione di un sistema politico rappresentativo, la richiesta di un amp…

Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. Il giurista, l’avvocato, lo statista
2018
Vittorio Emanuele Orlando is one of the defining figures of the history of Italy. Lawyer, jurist and statesman, he founded the Italian School of Public Law and worked out an original version of the “Rechtsstaat”. He led Italy to victory during the First World War, took then an official stance against the Fascism and played a significant role in the republican constituent process. The article suggests a coherent interpretation of the several aspects of his personality and provides an extensive bibliography
Comparative vs. Transcendental Approaches to Justice: A Misleading Dichotomy in Sen’s The Idea of Justice
2012
In this paper I try to put under scrutiny the distinction offered by A. Sen between transcendental and comparative theories of justice, and its application to Rawls’ doctrine. After presenting Sen’s arguments, I will put forward three theses. First, Sen offers a limited portrait of Rawls’ doctrine. This limitation is the result of a rhetorical strategy that depicts Rawlsian doctrine as more “transcendental” than it really is. Although Sen presents a large number of quotations in order to validate his interpretation, it is possible to offer a different, less transcendental, interpretation of Rawls’ doctrine. Secondly, the dichotomy between transcendental and comparative approaches to questio…
Multiculturalismo liberale, neutralità e Rule of Law
2011
Most contemporary liberal theories of justice agree that principles of justice should be neutral between citizens’ conceptions of the good life. In this essay, I assume that the liberal doctrine of state neutrality can somehow be defended against its critics. y first aim is to show that a certain connection holds between liberal neutrality, suitably understood, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the Rule of Law. By the ‘Rule of Law’ I mean, as has now become usual among legal theorists, a set of formal and institutional features the law may possess in varying degrees. These features define an ideal, which laws have traditionally been expected to live up to. It is, under many respects,…

Looking for the "Vulnerable Subject": The Mencian Account of the Person
2019
The idea of the legal subject as an autonomous agent, with the capacity to choose and freely determine herself without external constraints or interference, complete in herself and independent, has had remarkable normative implications in structuring contemporary legal systems. The philosopher Martha Fineman recently argued against this notion, proposing the alternative one of “vulnerable subject.” This paper suggests that the notion of the person elaborated by the classical Confucian thinkers encompasses the “vulnerable subject.” The Confucian theorizations resonate with the ethic of care; however, their moral and normative relevance carries the potential for a broader scope of application…
