Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" and Lev Tolstoy's "Where Love Is, There Is God Also": The Quest For the Meaning of Life
2021
Uznanie Lwa Tołstoja dla Charlesa Dickensa, którego pisarz rosyjski podziwiał za demokratyczne i humanistyczne cechy jego pisarstwa, było trwałe i niezmienne. Proces odnajdywania sensu życia i powrotu do społeczeństwa jest jednym z głównych tematów Opowieści wigilijnej i Gdzie miłość – tam i Bóg. Jednak źródła samotności i izolacji bohaterów Dickensa i Tołstoja mają różne podłoża. Scrooge celowo odizolował się od swojej rodziny i unikał kontaktów międzyludzkich. Źródłem samotności Martina był smutek i żal jaki towarzyszył mu po śmierci żony i dzieci. Stąd też bohater Turgieniewa nie widział sensu swojego dalszego życia. Seria wydarzeń i spotkań prowadzi obu bohaterów do wypracowania nowego …
Citizenship Education at the Republican Schools in France: Comprehensive Review and Teachers' Points of View
2019
Citizenship Education at the Republican Schools in France: Comprehensive Review and Teachers' Points of View This thesis deals with citizenship education in France, a subject that has been on the agenda for some thirty years and the object of intense debates, especially in a national community deeply shocked by recent terrorist attacks. As there are but few studies on the subject, especially from an empirical perspective (Bozec, 2016), our objective is a comprehensive review of citizenship education in France. We explore how the subject is conceived officially and integrates national curricula as well as how it is implemented at school. In fact, we seek to answer the question: how is citize…
"Climate Change and Moral Corruption"
2013
In “A Perfect Moral Storm”, S. Gardiner claims that "the peculiar features of the climate change problem pose substantial obstacles to our ability to make the hard choices necessary to address it. Climate change is a perfect moral storm. One consequence of this is that, even if difficult ethical questions could be answered, we might still find it difficult to act. For the storm makes us extremely vulnerable to moral corruption". Here I comment on the notion of moral corruption. In particular, I discuss the issues of who is susceptible to it and of what sort of problem moral corruption is.
Climate Change: Who Does What, Why and How
2014
This chapter rehearses arguments in favour of the idea that individuals are subject to an obligation to engage in self-starting anti-climate change practices, and indicates what sort of practices individuals would have to engage in for that obligation to be appropriately discharged. It argues that these practices cannot be purely private; rather these must be capable of being interpersonally co-ordinated and when so, of effectively stimulating systemic reform. They must allow for effective signalling and learning; be compatible with individual moral psychology (that is, they must generate individual benefits, not just burdens); and demand of individuals no more than what their measure of per…
Life satisfaction and tax morale: The role of trust in government and cultural orientation
2022
Taxes are essential for a government to function correctly, because they fund public services and promote long-term growth in a country. Tax morale is a positive attitude toward taxation shaped by extrinsic and intrinsic motivations, including numerous psychological factors. However, these factors are far from completely clear and a better understanding of what drives tax morale can greatly help governments in the design of tax policies and their administration. In this paper we test the novel hypothesis that life satisfaction is one of the psychological aspects affecting tax morale. Using longitudinal data from the World Value Survey, we show that people more satisfied with their own life …

Del Comune, o un’etica per il XXI secolo?
2021
This article proposes an ethical reinterpretation of Dardot and Laval's analyses of the concept of the "commune", published in 2014. The circulation of ethical arguments and the activation of a line of thought related to public ethics can indeed contribute to finding an answer to some objections moved to the proposal of the commune. This is the intention of my contribution, which focuses in particular on the question of the subjectivity implied, or rather evoked by the theoretical-political proposal of the French thinkers.
