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…
Per una lettura non antropocentrica della filosofia della natura di Aristotele
2019
L'articolo presenta una lettura non antropocentrica della filosofia della natura di Aristotele facendo leva su tre punti chiave: 1. Aristotele non è il padre dei saperi specialistici. Le opere biologiche sono il fulcro del programma di ricerca aristotelico sulla natura, fulcro dell'intero Corpus aristotelicum. 2. Nelle scienze naturali Aristotele è un continuista: fra le diverse forme di vita (vegetale e animale, animale e umana) i passaggi avvengono con continuità. Proprio da lui si origina il detto secondo cui natura non facit saltus. 3. I passi in cui Aristotele sembra esprimersi a favore di una biologia antropocentrica – e ciò non solo nella Politica, ma anche nelle opere biologiche, ad…

“La virtù di Emone: Riflessioni sull'epieikeia greca”
2013
The paper proposes a reflection on the Greek concept of epieikeia, traditionally translated with equity, fairness or, in some particular contexts, leniency. The aim is to show that this concept allows us to focus on some important questions in the contemporary philosophical debate such as the question concerning the relationship between a general rule and a particular case, or the question about the problematic relationship between law and justice. The first step is a reconstruction of the meaning of the concept in the pre-Aristotelian tradition. The second part of the article focuses on epieikeia in Aristotelian thought, taking into account not only the systematic treatment but also the no…

Il femminile come alterità in Aristotele
2006
In the Corpus of his biological works, Aristotle investigates the fulfillment of the vital functions of all living beings, which, according to the philosopher’s teleological vision, rank in a hierarchy at whose top is Man, by excellence the complete and perfect being. In such a representation, a description of the female nature finds its place as well, also considered for each animal species and ranking in the same hierarchy. Aristotle’s reflection on the female, both from the physiological and the psychological-behavioral point of view, is always set in relation with the corresponding male. A female nature does not exist by itself, with its own well defined identity, but its characteristic…
L’intelligenza divina come forma di vita in Aristotele
2018
On the grounds of Met. xii, 7 this contribution construes the Aristotelian god as a form of biological life and intelligence, its essential connotation, as a form of life. Life (zoè), a term that strictly means biological life, thought or rather the reflexivity of thought, whose “act is also a pleasure” belongs to the Aristotelian god. The latter characteristic is the main reason to argue that the Aristotelian god is, like the “heart”, “a living being in a living being”, in that living organism which amounts to the universe. Accordingly the skies and the cosmos itself are self-propelled and intelligent to Aristotle, who in De Philosophia wonders whether they are also endowed with sensations…
