Non solo sillogismo. Per una lettura retorica dell’entimema aristotelico
2013
L'articolo propone una lettura dell'entimema aristotelico che tenga conto anche della tradizione precedente e contemporanea ad Aristotele. L'idea di fondo è che la ricostruzione della storia pre-aristotelica dell'entimema consenta di mettere in luce anche alcuni aspetti della posizione aristotelica che il prevalere di un'interpretazione logicista rischia di occultare. Il dibattito sulla nozione aristotelica di entimema è infatti concentrato prevalentemente sugli aspetti logici, alla ricerca di un unico tratto definitorio che lo distingua dagli altri sillogismi.

AbstractThe paper focuses on two problems with Alexander Wendt's unification of physical and social ontology on the basis of quantum theory. Firstly, by endowing social phenomena with an ontological foundation in physical reality defined in quantum terms Wendt risks reducing a plurality of worlds as ‘fields of sense’, ordered by their immanent rules, to the physical world ordered by the laws of quantum theory.

Federaliści i rozłam między klasycznością a modernością
2014
The article shows how the classical political thinking, based on civic virtues, and modernist thinking, based on individualism and self-interest, formed the basis of the U.S. Constitution. The Founding Fathers did not realize the full extent of the rift between classicism and modernity. When, as a result of intellectual discussions and practice of social life, this divide began to become more and more obvious, there has been a transition from the classical to the modernist paradigm in American politics. However, the dispute between classicism and modernity still continues and takes on new forms. On the one hand, contemporary political thinking is seen as a triumph of modernism, in which the…
