Dialoghi a distanza in tema di socialità e storicità del diritto. Italia, Francia e Germania tra fine Ottocento e primo Novecento
2015
L’intreccio di trasformazioni che tra Otto e Novecento cambia il volto dell’Europa fa da sfondo a uno dei momenti più alti della storia della cultura giuridica. Un comune afflato sembra ispirare gli indirizzi che in Italia, Francia e Germania sollecitano un rinnovamento del metodo e un ripensamento della stessa nozione di diritto. Le fibrillazioni della «Scuola sociale del diritto», già attiva in Italia negli anni Ottanta, incrociavano le inquietudini del “rinascimento giuridico” francese e le provocazioni del gius-liberismo tedesco, sovrapponendosi le une alle altre, percorrendo itinerarii contigui, attingendo a un patrimonio scientifico comune. Le componenti eterodosse della cultura giuri…
Evolucionismo, integración sociocognitiva y cambio semántico
2014
El cambio es el fenómeno lingüístico por excelencia a la hora de aplicar los modelos teóricos evolucionistas. La perspectiva evolucionista del lenguaje permite analizar el cambio lingüístico como un fenómeno sujeto a los mismos procesos evolutivos que determinan cualquier sistema evolutivo complejo. El objetivo de este estudio es defender una integración más sistemática de los factores sociales y cognitivos del cambio lingüístico, en particular del cambio semántico. Este artículo se centra en un enfoque evolutivo del cambio lingüístico muy influyente, la Teoría de la Selección del Enunciado del cambio lingüístico desarrollada por Croft (2000). El enfoque evolutivo de Croft se inspira en la …
Compositional Homology and Creative Thinking
2015
The concept of homology is the most solid theoretical basis elaborated by the morphological thinking during its history. The enucleation of some general criteria for the interpretation of homology is today a fundamental tool for life sciences, and for restoring their own opening to the question of qualitative innovation that arose so powerfully in the original Darwinian project. The aim of this paper is to verify the possible uses of the concept of compositional homology in order to provide of an adequate understanding of the dynamics of creative thinking.
Darwin and Ethics : Using Natural Selection to Understand Ethical Business and Organizational Behavior
2000
The origins of ethics and morality have been considered for many, many years. From ancient Greek metaphysicians to the great theologians of the Middle Ages to modern philosophers, different systematic frameworks have been developed to understand how and why ethics are formed. These frameworks provide people and organizations with guidance about how to act toward other humans and institutions in their environment. Steiner and Steiner (1991) discuss six different primary sources for understanding the development of ethics: religious, philosophical, cultural, legal, codes of conduct, and genetics (see Table). Of these six systems, the genetic framework is clearly the least developed, least exp…
Iäisyydestä aikaan, ajasta iäisyyteen : evoluutio ja siihen liittyvät temporaaliset narratiivit Sun Yatsenin poliittisessa argumentaatiossa
2008
Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on analysoida Kiinan ensimmäisenä presidenttinä toimineen Sun Yatsenin ajan retoriikkaa. Keskityn erityisesti Sunin tapaan käyttää evoluutio-käsitettä argumentaationsa apuna ja tähän evoluutio-käsitteeseen liittyviin ajallisiin narratiiveihin. Tutkimuksen ensisijaisena aineistona on Sunin tunnetuin teos Kansan kolme periaatetta. Olen lisäksi analysoinut myös muita kysymyksenasettelun kannalta relevantteja Sunin kirjoittamia tekstejä. Teoreettisena näkökulmana minulla on Reinhart Koselleckin temporalisaatio-teesi, jota sovellan työssäni kiinalaiseen kontekstiin. Tämä asetelma sijoittaa Sunin argumentaation osaksi laajempaa kontekstia. Taustaoletuksenani on, että Kiinass…
Decoherence without entanglement and quantum Darwinism
2020
It is often assumed that decoherence arises as a result of the entangling interaction between a quantum system and its environment, as a consequence of which the environment effectively measures the system, thus washing away its quantum properties. Moreover, this interaction results in the emergence of a classical objective reality, as described by quantum Darwinism. In this Rapid Communication, we show that the idea that entanglement is needed for decoherence is imprecise. We propose a dynamical mixing mechanism capable of inducing decoherence dynamics on a system without creating any entanglement with its quantum environment. We illustrate this mechanism by introducing a simple and exactl…
La «Escuela social del derecho» entre Europa y Brasil. Encuentros y desencuentros ante las transformaciones de fin de siglo.
2015
Las proyecciones europeas y latinoamericanas de la «Escuela social del derecho», que floreció en Italia en los últimos veinte años del siglo XIX, ofrecen un escenario rico en contaminaciones, derivaciones y sugestiones, correspondencias y coincidencias, pero también silencios e indiferencias. Los «neotéricos» italianos lanzaron una piedra que agitó las aguas tranquilas del estanque legalista, produciendo una ola destinada a encontrarse con las tendencias análogas que estaban germinando en la crisis de fin de siglo a una y otra orilla del Atlántico. Un encuentro obligado en el plano de las sugestiones, de los contenidos y del método, pero no siempre consumado, declarado y formalizado; un diá…
1993
The formulation of the synthetic theory represented a significant-advance for evolutionary studies, which had previously been hampered by apparently irreconcilable contractions. Combining Mendelian laws with Darwinism, it joined the antitheses in a synthesis which was subsequently refined and completed. Today, its content may not be simply rejected or ignored, although there are those who think of it as little more than a corpse.
