Fuzziness, Cognition and Cybernetics: an outlook on future
2015
In the present paper, we connect some old reflections about the relationships existing between the theory of fuzzy sets and cybernetics with modern, contemporary analyses of the crucial (better: unavoidable) role that fuzziness plays in the attempts at scientifically describing aspects of information sciences. The connection, which has a basic conceptual origin, has been triggered also by the recent 50th anniversary of Norbert Wiener’ death which has been instrumental in looking again at some crucial aspects of the birth of information sciences in the midst of last Century. Fuzzy sets are an essential part of this revolution and share all the innovations as well as the difficulties of this …
Seeking for the Grasp : An Iterative Subdivision Model of Conceptualisation
2019
Concepts are fundamental collective constructs of individual items that are capable of abstracting meaningfully homogeneous groupings of phenomena. This capability is a prerequisite for communication and action and gives structure to learning and memory. Our study is aligned with the vast paradigm that assumes embodied cognition, rooted in Merleau-Ponty (Phenomenology of perception (trans: C. Smith). Routledge and Kegan Paul, London, 1962), seminally articulated by Varela et al. (Embodied mind: cognitive science and human experience. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1991) and existing today in a number of variants that have been reviewed by Wilson (Six views of embodied cognition. Springer. Psycho…
Il bisogno di storie. Cognizione,narrazione, autobiografia.
2018
Gli uomini da sempre sono coinvolti in pratiche narrative. L'articolo discute questa attitudine al raccontare storie mettendola in relazione al bisogno cognitivo da cui nasce. E proponendo di collegarla alla necessita cognitiva di costruire un racconto coerente della nostra storia: la nostra autobiografia.
ENSO IV - Book of Abstracts

Intenzionalità collettiva, ontologia sociale e mindreading
2014
In his Collective Intentions and Actions John Searle argued that having a preintentional sense of others as at least potentially cooperative agents “like me” is a necessary condition of collective intentionality. He also argued, in Rationality in Action, that understanding others qua intentional agents necessarily presupposes rationality because rational constraints are built into the logical structure of intentional phenomena. In this paper we will try to specify further these claims in the light of current debate on mindreading, where other-understanding is spelled out either in terms of automatic, subpersonal simulative mechanisms, or in terms of normative, rational principles. We will a…
Collective Intentionality, Language, and Normativity: A Problem and a Possible Solution for the Analysis of Cooperation
2015
In this paper I discuss Searle's analysis of social ontology in the light of his account of the sources of normativity as rooted in the logical structure of language. I conclude that, though his theory of normativity may appear to be inconsistent with his theory collective intentionality, it is really our Background sense of the other that creates a sense of community even before the actual functioning of collective intentionality and language, thereby escaping the dilemma between individualism and collectivism.
Sources and Boundaries of Institutional and Linguistic Normativity. Towards a Critical Social Ontology.
2013
Since Hegel and until speech acts theory and contemporary social ontology it came to full development the idea that most of reasons, duties, rights, entitlements, have to do, against Kant, with our participation to social, linguistic and institutional practices of the lifeform to which we belong rather than or more than with our dealing with “substantive moral principles”. But if we accept, with Hegel, that every individual rational determination of the will is justified as such only as a part of our collective Sittlichkheit (Hegel, 1967, cf. Di Lorenzo Ajello, 2009); if we accept from speech acts theory that there are commitments, rights and entitlements specific to every type of speech ac…
Il collettivo secondo Margaret Gilbert: impegno congiunto ed soggetto plurale
2019
Quando possiamo considerare un insieme di individui un collettivo, un gruppo sociale? E' questa la domanda attorno a cui converge la riflessione che condurrò nelle pagine seguenti sul rapporto tra individui e collettività nel processo di formazione di quest'ultima. Oggi discutere di individuo e collettività significa discutere di ontologia sociale: quella branca della filosofia che si è sviluppata dagli anni '80 del secolo scorso fino ai giorni nostri e che si occupa di analizzare la realtà il cui artefice è l'uomo e che viene chiamata realtà sociale, poiché ha bisogno, almeno all'inizio, di un riconoscimento collettivo da parte di un gruppo più o meno ampio di soggetti. Dunque, come ci spi…
