Recognition as Generative Movement. Axel Honneth between Structure of the Self and Second Nature
2021
Il lavoro affronta tematicamente il paradigma del riconoscimento di Axel Honneth attraverso quattro opere principali — Kampf um Anerkennung, Verdinglichung, Das Recht der Freiheit e Anerkennung. Lo scopo principale è quello di distillare i diversi concetti di riconoscimento messi in campo da Honneth, pur mantenendo l'analisi all'interno dell'orizzonte di matrice francofortese, con le sue necessarie implicazioni antropologiche e filosofico-sociali. A una prima parte storico-filosofica segue un ultimo capitolo in cui i diversi concetti di riconoscimento vengono confrontati con la proposta di Hegel, elaborata nella sezione sulla moralità nella Fenomenologia dello spirito. The work thematically…
The Group Mind Hypothesis between Social ontology and Philosophy of Mind: Some Critical Notes

Basel Bank Limiting Policies as Foucauldian Power/Knowledge: Risk as Assemblages, The Case of Basel Bank Limiting Policies as Discourses
2023
I intend to write about Basel bank's limiting technologies from the point of view of trust, coming from the fact that banks have to adjust their risk understanding tools and test them constantly. It is not always known what exactly causes a risk. I am interested in risk-understanding technologies which do not govern this in advance but only require passing certain risk tests. Therefore, I will research the idea of Basel’s bank limiting technologies as assemblages that want connections only with other specified assemblages. For example, certain risk levels must be adjusted to form a harmonious whole that passes these tests. I will argue that by understanding Basel’s bank limiting technologie…
