La libertà tra determinismo naturale e determinismo teologico: Il De servo arbitrio di Lutero
2018
L'articolo analizza il rapporto tra determinismo naturale e storico da un lato e determinismo teologico dall'altro, così come Lutero lo affronta nel De servo arbitrio, a partire dalla sua concreta esperienza di fede. L'articolo cerca di mostrare come l'idea di determinismo di Lutero sia escludente l’opposta idea d’indeterminazione, ragion per cui egli rifiuta la concezione della libertà come libertas indifferentiae, ma non la contingenza degli eventi e quindi neppure l'autodeterminazione dell'uomo. Nell'articolo si mostra come la posizione di Lutero al riguardo sia stata accolta da Leibniz e da Hegel. The article analyzes the relationship between natural and historical determinism on the on…
Subalternità e filosofia della storia. Appunti sul carteggio Marx-Zasulič
2021
this article proposes, through the Gramscian political-pedagogical category of subalternity, a reading of the brief exchange of letters at the beginning of 1881 between Karl Marx and Vera Zasulič, a russian revolutionary militant at that time member of the populist group Čërnyj peredel (black repartition), on an issue of great importance for the russian socialist movement: the obščina, or that specific form of common ownership of land by russian peasants. to this end, it is necessary to analyze the chapter XXiV of the first book of Capital, in which Marx outlines the historical genesis of capitalism in Western europe and, in particular, in england, through the phenomenon of «the so-called o…
Parent of origin effects in attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): analysis of data from the international multicenter ADHD genetics (IMAGE…
2008
Contains fulltext : 71540.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) There are conflicting reports suggesting that the parental origin of transmitted risk alleles may play a role in the etiology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A recent report by Hawi and colleagues observed a generalized paternal over-transmission of alleles associated with ADHD. This was not replicated in more recent studies. Using data from a large multicenter study we examined the overall and gene-specific parent of origin effect in 554 independent SNPs across 47 genes. Transmission disequilibrium and explicit parent of origin test were performed using PLINK. Overall parent of origin effect was tested…
Qué puede decir la neurociencia sobre el libre albedrío: cuestionando su metodología y la posibilidad de resolver el problema
2019
El antiguo problema de la libertad y el determinismo ha sido retomado en nuestros días por las neurociencias desde una perspectiva naturalista. Son muchos los problemas metodológicos y conceptuales a los que se enfrentan los investigadores al tratar de resolver científicamente la pregunta por la existencia del libre albedrío. Nuestro objetivo será someter a crítica uno de los presupuestos de estas investigaciones, la posibilidad de cuantificar la libertad como un hecho. Para ello expondremos en primer lugar las dificultades relativas a esta pretensión. Tras ello estableceremos cuáles son las condiciones de posibilidad de la libertad en aras de someter a crítica las perspectivas psicológica …
Logos, Pathos and Ethos in Ackroyd's Plato's Papers via an Interdisciplinary Psycho-philosophical Approach
2014
Abstract The present moral crisis of humanity will be closely considered in Ackroyd's Plato's Papers via Riemann's Theorem of Earth Mapping, Kelly's Personal Construct theory and Plato's Idea of the Third Man with a view to showing that only the generally assumed relationship between logos and ethos could rescue the mentality of the entire world and retrieve temporality and morality. For this approach to be successfully turned to good account the Aristotelian concepts of Logos (the thinking part of the intellect) mediating with Pathos (the feeling self) through the actions of his acting self, the personal Ethos, will be employed in relation to Ackroyd's character, Plato, the philosopher-ora…
A Precise Determination of the Number of Families With Light Neutrinos and of the Z Boson Partial Widths
1990
Title : The socialization at work in the federal universe, the determining element of the social regulation of the sports organization. Contribution to the social politics of the sport service of Nice city Abstract : This study postulates the existence of certain specific cultural determinism in the social regulation of the sports organization. It leans on a work of inquiry which concerns 148 agents of the municipal service of the sports of the Nice city. The investigation puts in evidence a causal report between the type of trajectory of professional insertion of the municipal agents and their level of support in the manager politics of the organization. The agents, whose bibliographic rou…
Choice and Practical Reasoning in Ancient Philosophy
2013
Ancient thinkers acknowledged that we are the sort of creatures that want things to be a certain way and can make efforts for them to become that way. In that sense, the ancients had a notion of volition. But it is not clear how they conceived of volition. The problem is partly historical. Some late ancient, notably Christian thinkers came to regard volition in a different way than earlier thinkers had done, seeing reason as a less powerful ability than Socrates did, and instead placing their hopes on the will, which they regarded as a separate and sovereign part of the soul. About these historical developments there is much debate and little agreement. The problem is also partly conceptual…
On Simon Nelson Patten’s Progressivism: A note
2020
This article is an attempt to offer an assessment of the main coordinates of Simon Nelson Patten’s views on democracy and biological determinism. This will allow us to better delineate the differences—as well as the affinities—between Patten and the core of progressives discussed by Thomas C. Leonard in a series of path-breaking contributions, culminating in his Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, and American Economics in the Progressive Era. It is our contention that even within the persisting intricacies, ambiguities, and contradictions of Patten’s expository style, it is possible to trace a shift in some aspects of his ideas—a gradual evolution that makes his peculiar brand of progress…
Uomini e technai nell'ambiente: tra Arie, acque, luoghi e il Prometeo incatenato
2021
Al centro dell'attenzione di questo studio è la relazione tra uomini e ambiente così come delineata nello scritto ippocratico Arie, acque, luoghi. In effetti, la valutazione di alcuni termini chiave presenti nell'opera ippocratica permette di individuare una relazione complessa, basata sulla reciproca osmosi e interazione tra l'essere umano e l'ambiente in cui vive, una relazione segnata da una terminologia che ne mette in luce il rapporto di somiglianza e di adattamento reciproco. Una particolare riflessione, in tal senso, merita la parte conclusiva del trattato ippocratico (considerato qui come unitario), in cui è descritta l'attitudine sociale (ethos) dell'essere umano, relativamente più…
Ultrametric Vs. Quantum Query Algorithms
2014
Ultrametric algorithms are similar to probabilistic algorithms but they describe the degree of indeterminism by p-adic numbers instead of real numbers. This paper introduces the notion of ultrametric query algorithms and shows an example of advantages of ultrametric query algorithms over deterministic, probabilistic and quantum query algorithms.
