Mondo della vita e senso religioso. Sulla valenza etica e cognitiva della fede secondo Habermas
2022
The essay intends retrace the development of the relationship between secular reason and religious language in Habermas's thought. To this end, the essay focuses on the theory of translation, and on complementary learning. The first part will provide a comparison between the conception of modernity and the progressive promotion – on both a cognitive and normative level – of the religious sense. The second part advances an interpretation of the public sphere conceived as a secular space for the cooperation between reason and religion. Lastly, the article highlights the problematic excess of the religious sense by considering the rationalization of its semantic contents.
Responsabilità e progresso. Jonas, Apel e il futuro globale
2022
The essay discusses the foundations of the ethics of responsibility, comparing the positions of Jonas and Apel. In particular, it focuses on the relationship between technology and progress. The author evaluates Jonas’ ethics as insufficient in terms of the theory of justice. Preserving the natural should not be separated from the idea of progress. Instead, planetary macroethics should activate the socio-political conditions for the discursive realisation of global responsibility. The ethics of responsibility is connected to the ethics of progress for the realisation of the conditions of human dignity.

The Effects of Short-Term Personal Goals on Subjective Well-Being
2015
Several studies demonstrated that subjective well-being is associated with goal value and perceived progress but their validity is affected by methodological biases. Moreover, a few have analysed the influence of short-term goals. We aimed to analyse how the levels of and changes in short-term goals progress and value influence subsequent levels of and changes in subjective well-being. This study adopted a three-wave longitudinal design with one-month intervals. Four hundred nine participants (186 males; age 19–71) reported their subjective well-being and their two most important goals and rated each over time in terms of value and progress. A latent difference score model revealed that lev…

[Access to hepatitis C treatment: a lesson for the future.]
2018
L’immissione in commercio dei farmaci antivirali ad azione diretta (DAA) di nuova generazione per la terapia dell’infezione cronica da virus dell’epatite C ha rivoluzionato lo scenario precedente e ha messo a dura prova le istituzioni, a causa del prezzo elevato delle terapie. Un’analisi di quanto accaduto negli ultimi tre anni, specialmente in Italia, ci aiuta a comprendere come è stata gestita la contrattazione dei prezzi e soprattutto con quali criteri si è scelto, in una prima fase, di consentire un accesso ristretto in base al bisogno di cura dei pazienti. Ciò consente di mettere a fuoco alcuni temi importanti e di individuare le sfide che ci attendono nel prossimo futuro. The new gene…
Beneficence and equity: how the covid-19 pandemic exposed our weaknesses in Italy
2020
How did Italy face the issue of allocating beds in Intensive Care Units and ventilators during the COVID-19 outbreak? At the beginning of the epidemic, the Italian Society of Anesthesia Analgesia Resuscitation and Intensive Care issued recommendations that sparked a heated debate. Later, the National Bioethics Committee, the ethical advisory board of the Government, has issued a document, which recognizes that the only admissible criterion to employ in a "pandemic emergency triage" is a clinical criterion. The document actually doesn’t address some core ethical issues, leaving many unanswered questions.
