La paura di pensare
2021
Il saggio intende mettere a fuoco l'emozione della paura in relazione al modo in cui l’esercizio della ragione provoca in noi affezione, sviluppando una sensibilità specifica, una condizione di esposizione che concerne la vita del pensante. In ciò mi pare che la paura e, più in generale, l’intero ambito della vita emotiva, possa e anzi debba attirare l’interesse della ricerca filosofica, e specificamente, teoretica. La questione può essere posta sinteticamente in questi termini: la ragione fa paura? Pensare provoca una simile reazione emotiva? E se sì, in che senso?

In particular, we argue that such normative formulations tend to qualify orders as spontaneous according to two main requirements: unintendedness and negative liberty.
Yhteisövoimainen oppimisprosessi : substantiivinen teoria aikuisten ryhmässä oppimisen kokemuksista

In this approach, the theory emerges gradually in open interaction between a researcher and the data (Glaser 1992). The informants for this study were…
Social mirrors. Tove Jansson’sInvisibleChildand the importance of being seen
2016
ABSTRACTThis article examines the experience of being seen and analyzes its central role in the formation of a coherent sense of self. Tove Jansson’s short story from 1962, ‘The Invisible Child’, serves as the red thread of the article, and the story is analyzed in the light of Donald Winnicott’s work on social mirroring. The analysis is enriched by the psychoanalytic insights of Veikko Tahka and Heinz Kohut, and complemented by Axel Honneth’s philosophical elaborations as well as by recent developmental findings as presented by Vasudevi Reddy. The article is divided into an introduction and three sections. After summarizing Jansson’s story in the introduction, the first section elaborates …
