Las virtudes cívicas y la cuestión de la estabilidad. ¿Hacia un perfeccionismo liberal?
2011
En este trabajo intentaré explicar por qué las virtudes cívicas constituyen una condición necesaria para la estabilidad de las instituciones en un Estado liberal. Sin embargo, este punto pone en entredicho algunas de las coordenadas de la topografía moral de Rawls. Por esta razón, presentaré una interpretación de las últimas obras de Rawls que pueda tener en cuenta el papel de las virtudes cívicas en el fortalecimiento de las instituciones en una comunidad “políticoliberal”. Finalmente, expondré por qué una cierta versión del perfeccionismo liberal es coherente con la doctrina rawlsiana y puede a la vez tomar en serio el papel de las virtudes cívicas sin constituir una forma de paternalismo…
Virtues for the Anthropocene
2015
The paper discusses some difficulties that life in Anthropocene poses to our ethical thinking. It describes the sort of ethical task that individuals find themselves confronting when dealing with the planetary environmental quandaries that characterise the new epoch. It then asks what, given the situation, would count as environmentally virtuous ways of looking at and going about our lives, and how relevant virtues can be developed. It is argued that the practice of gardening is distinctively conducive to that objective. Finally, some garden virtues that will be of special importance in the Anthropocene, but have so far been largely neglected by environmental ethicists, are listed and descr…
Philosophical thought of the School of the Sextii
2014
Around the first half century B.C. the first Roman school of philosophy arose, which was called School of Sextii. The known members of the School were: Quintus Sextius the Elder, founding father of the School, Sextius Niger, Quintus' son, who became scholarch of the School after his father's death, Sotion, Papirius Fabianus (both teachers of Seneca the Younger), Crassicius Pasicles, a grammarian, and Celsius Cornelius, an expert doctor.

The school of the Sextii had taken to heart that part of the philosophy called physical, characterizing itself mainly as a philosoph…
Dignity, Rights and Virtues in the Department of Values
2018
The chapter aims to show that dignity is not an empty concept but it adds something to other values and this is reflected in Dworkin holistic approach to values. Last Dworkin's project is to transcend the language of rights to a new political perspective in which responsibility and virtues are crucial. But this is problematic for Dworkin's engagement to liberalism.
Interpretazione del diritto internazionale e rule of law
2020
The article discusses two main theses. The first one is the presence and forms of the rule of law in the international legal scenario. This task is developed through the analysis of three possible versions: the extension of the domestic rule of law to the obligations coming from international law, the rule of international law, and the international rule of law. The second thesis is that the rule of law plays a role in the interpretation of law.

The origin, definition and nature of the transconscious in the spirituality of Father Stăniloae
2022
In his important work, Orthodox Spirituality , Father Dumitru Staniloae considers that, besides the real existence of the subconscious, there exists in man another reality as well, comprising the superior divine energies found in the human heart and which he defined by using the modern notion of transconscious or supraconscious. Contribution: The present study emphasises on the origin, definitions and content of this concept in the work of Father Staniloae and its great importance in defining a way to know God and his salvation works, from the perspective of an anchorite and Christian mystic, engaged in the existential tension of communion with God.
