For a Philosophy of Mathematical Practice
2010
It is a fact that of the logicist, the intuitionist, and Hilbert's programmes, the classical programmes set up to establish mathematics on safe foundations, some have failed, whereas others have long since lost their propulsive force. Two of the consequences of the crisis of the classical programmes in the foundations of mathematics were: a widespread scepticism towards the possibility of establishing the certainty of mathematical methods, and a new attention paid to mathematical practice. The main aim of this article is that of individuating some directions of research along which to develop a tenable philosophy of mathematical practice.
L’animale insaturo: antropologia filosofica e retorica
2013
In the macro-area of philosophical anthropology and philosophy of language we can find an important relationship between philosophical anthropology and rhetoric. Starting from the analysis of Blumenberg’s essay An Anthropological Approach to the Contemporary Significance of Rhetoric, the paper will focus on the relation between rhetoric and evidence, on the status of shared assumptions that form the basis of argumentation and on the role of pistis in human nature. I will also try to propose a new concept of poor humanity: man is that animal whose poverty is tied to the biological need to believe in the inherited background that we have because we belong to a community which is bound togethe…

Truth, Negation and Meaning
2013
‘True’ and ‘False’ are defined through a linguistic rule requiring the negation operator. This is the elaboration of an idea proffered for the first time by the Stoics on the basis of some remarks by Aristotle and then in modern times by Frege and Wittgenstein. Another thesis of this essay is the following: the true/false rule is a sort of UR-Regel underlying all linguistic practices (including prayers and commands) and all human cultures. Reinterpreting the notion of Spielraum put forward by Wittgenstein in 4.463 of the Tractatus, I will present an implicational pragmatic theory of a true proposition. Jokes and reductio ad absurdum are explained as examples of Spielraum.
Russell Wittgenstein: la riflessione logica e l'esperienza della guerra
2015
The first World War had a great impact on some areas of philosophy such as ethics and political philosophy, but this impact is more controversial in other ares such as logic or epistemology. In this paper we discuss the relevant consequences of this war in the logic-philosphical thought of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein
Che cos'è la filosofia? L'essenza della filosofia oltre la distinzione fra analitici e continentali
2022
Porsi la domanda che «cos’è la filosofia?» significa già fare filosofia, e trovarsi nella condizione dell’esule, dello spaesato. La filosofia, sostiene Heidegger, è un campo vasto e indeterminato; “indeterminato” significa che il pensatore, non appena viene posta la domanda sulla definizione della sua attività, si ritrova in qualche modo estraniato rispetto all’elemento del suo operare. La determinazione della filosofia è opera di quanti cooperano alla costruzione del sapere, nei suoi ambiti disparati, e preservano, ad un tempo, il senso stesso dell’indeterminatezza. Non esistono ambiti del sapere che non possano essere anche filosofici, né si possono limitare a priori i temi, le linee di r…

Alcance y límites del uso antropológico de algunos conceptos de la filosofía de Wittgenstein. Plantas sagradas, magia y el culto de San Simon en Guat…
2021
Ante todo, mi objetivo era aclarar los aspectos múltiples y superpuestos del lenguaje religioso, y el debate que se ha desarrollado primero entre Wittgens-tein y Frazer, y luego con otros autores posteriores. En segundo lugar, quería para mostrar cómo los conceptos wittgensteinianos sobre el lenguaje religioso pueden encontrar una aplicación en el campo antropológico - con la idea de verificar la fiabilidad de las herramientas metodológicas e intelectuales suge-ridas por el filósofo vienés en el análisis de rituales mágico-religiosos - he aplicado sus ideas a tres estudios de caso en el campo de la antropología social en el ámbito mesoamericano: el culto a San Simon de Guatemala, los ritual…
