Comparative vs. Transcendental Approaches to Justice: A Misleading Dichotomy in Sen'sThe Idea of Justice
2012
This paper examines the distinction drawn by Amartya Sen between transcendental and comparative theories of justice, and its application to Rawls' doctrine. It then puts forward three arguments. First, it is argued that Sen offers a limited portrayal of Rawls' doctrine. This is the result of a rhetorical strategy that depicts Rawlsian doctrine as more “transcendental” than it really is. Although Sen deploys numerous quotations in support of his interpretation, it is possible to offer a less transcendental interpretation of Rawls. Second, the dichotomy between transcendental and comparative approaches to questions of justice is partly misleading, insofar as any plausible moral doctrine has b…

The Roots of Terror
2020
Risk would serve as a fertile ground to move resources, otherwise would be stagnated, so that elite may centralize and solidify “extractive institutions” to enhance the economic performance. The war of all against all, predicated by Hobbes sets the pace to the war of few blocs to yield a supreme authority over the rest. The theory of globalization is reluctant to explain how the world tends to a centralization of resources and violence. Here we come across with a paradox, if the XXth century posed a lot of states making the war to forge their own identity (as it was the case in Europe and US who participated in two total wars), within the state a sentiment of nationhood persisted over other…
The risks of using continuous deep palliative sedation within the context of euthanasia
2016
Although palliative care is one of the main arguments among the opponents of euthanasia, the individual medical activities implemented within it are not always evaluated unequivocally. Considering that patient in such care centres arrives mainly at the last stages of the disease when intensive treatments are no longer able to help, to reduce discomfort and relieve pain caused by the disease, analgesic means can be used that can shorten the patient's life expectancy and cause death. Such undesirable consequences can be seen in the deep and continuous palliative sedation, which not only is the last resort for pain prevention process, but also is still quite debatable medical and legal doctrin…
The Use of NFP When Pregnancy Is Contraindicated?
2020
The Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has declared the moral liceity of hysterectomy when certain medical criteria are met but does not exclude other options, “for example, recourse to infertile periods or total abstinence.” Consequently, there may be couples who prefer to use natural family planning (NFP) methods. We shall refer to these in this article. The efficacy of NFP methods is determined by knowing the day of ovulation. To that end, three parameters are used: the presence and consistency of cervical mucus, measurement of the basal body temperature, and the determination of particular hormones in urine. Of the NFP methods used, the so-called sympto-thermal method se…
Party autonomy regarding jurisdiction under the property regimes regulations
2021
The main accomplishment of the Property Regimes Regulations lies in their bringing more coherence into the cross-border family law adjudication. In the field of international jurisdiction, they strive to align the competence in couples? patrimony disputes to that in succession and in separation proceedings, or else to align the competence of the courts to the applicable law. These tendencies are clearly visible in the Regulations? provisions on choice of court agreements. Namely, the Regulations allow for such agreements, but severely limit parties? choice and the possible effects of these clauses. When succession or separation proceedings are pending, it is often only possible to institute…
Le società in house nel quadro della nozione europea e nazionale di impresa di gruppo
2020
L’articolo si propone di ricostruire in chiave sistematica il concetto di “società in house” nell’ambito del quadro della nozione europea e nazionale di impresa di gruppo. Ricondurre la relazione in house ad un rapporto di gruppo tra due o più imprese dovrebbe comportare, in prima battuta, l’applicazione della cd. single economic entity doctrine e delle sue ricadute in ambito concorrenziale, fra le quali acquista particolare rilievo la potenziale imputazione delle sanzioni antitrust all’ente pubblico capogruppo per le infrazioni compiute dalle società eterodirette. Nell’ordinamento giuridico nazionale, inoltre, la sostanziale convergenza tra il tipo di controllo alla base dell’in house prov…
Aristóteles entre doxografía y biografía: sobre Diógenes Laercio V 31
2019
Se pretende llamar la atención sobre un par de frases que aparecen justo hacia la mitad de la controvertida doxografía de Aristóteles que se puede leer en las Vidas y doctrinas de los filósofos más ilustres de Diógenes Laercio V 31, y que desde luego no corresponden a ningún sistema doxográfico conocido. Como sucede no pocas veces en la obra laerciana, la misma apreciación sobre si el filósofo debe o no enamorarse y contraer matrimonio se repite idéntica en otras doxografías completamente distintas: la cirenaica (DL II 91), la estoica (DL VII 129) y la epicúrea (DL X 118). Cabe plantearse, pues, el origen de este interés, en varias doxografías, por la vida sentimental, podríamos decir, de l…
„Głęboka religijność Lutra”: Marcin Luter - heretyk czy bohater wiary?
2020
Celem artykułu jest sformułowanie odpowiedzi na pytanie: czy Lutra należy uważać za heretyka, czy też można w nim widzieć bohatera wiary? Istotną podstawą dla takiej odpowiedzi są najpierw wypowiedzi papieży ostatniego czterdziestolecia, aż po afirmację Lutra jako osobowości głęboko religijnej. Dalszych przesłanek dostarczają wyniki historycznych badań, które wskazują na głębokie zakorzenienie Lutra w ówczesnej teologii mistycznej. Uwidacznia się to w jego sposobie uprawiania teologii, gdzie głównym źródłem poznania stało się własne doświadczenie wiary. Teologia Lutra jest teologią egzystencjalną i w tej perspektywie należy widzieć także naukę o usprawiedliwieniu. Usprawiedliwienie z wiary …
„Skok wiary” w Lutrowej nauce o usprawiedliwieniu
2017
Artykuł stanowi prezentację nauczania Lutra na temat usprawiedliwiającej wiary i wynikających stąd niektórych teologicznych implikacji. W nauce o usprawiedliwieniu Reformator z Wittenbergi znalazł sposób na uwolnienie się od wątpliwości w kwestii zbawienia, dochodząc do wniosku, że nie uczynki i wyznawanie przed Bogiem swoich niepowodzeń, lecz jedynie wiara czyni sprawiedliwym przed Bogiem. Zaproponowaną przez Lutra nową perspektywę spojrzenia na relację człowieka do Boga można nazwać „skokiem wiary”. Według Ojca Reformacji sama wiara wystarczy, by być pewnym swego zbawienia w sposób ostateczny. W tym ujęciu wiara utożsamia się z pewnością zbawienia. Podłoże Lutrowej koncepcji wiary znajduj…
