Confined subgroups in periodic simple finitary linear groups
2002
A subgroupX of the locally finite groupG is said to beconfined, if there exists a finite subgroupF≤G such thatX g∩F≠1 for allg∈G. Since there seems to be a certain correspondence between proper confined subgroups inG and non-trivial ideals in the complex group algebra ℂG, we determine the confined subgroups of periodic simple finitary linear groups in this paper.
AMBIENTE E TUTELA INDIVIDUALE INTERGENERAZIONALE
2020
Il saggio propone una riflessione sulla possibilità di una tutela ambientale individuale ed intergenerazionle, muovendo da una ricostruzione del concetto di ambiente nella prospettiva esistenzialista, segnata dal tessuto valoriale costituzionale interno ed europeo e dall’affermazione del principio dello sviluppo sostenibile. La valorizzazione dell’ambiente nella teoria dei beni trova nel dibattito sui beni comuni nuovi orizzonti di senso, coniugando la prospettiva esistenzialista del danno ambientale con quella propria della teorica dei beni comuni. All’esito di tale percorso ricostruttivo, avvalorato dalle recenti pronunce della Corte europea, l’autore giunge a fondare una legittimazione i…
Appearance as the Arrival of the Future
2017
AMBIGUITIES of language often indicate a problematic subject matter. That is the case with the word "appear" (erscheinen). When I say that an acquaintance (or someone with whom I was previously unacquainted) "appeared" to me, in order to speak with me, the meaning is: he came to me, he showed up in my habitat, perhaps at my home. He did not only seem (scheinen) to be there; he really was there. When something appears to us, it does not only seem to be with us, it actually is present. Appearance and existence are here very closely connected. But on the other hand, my acquaintance still exists even when he does not appear to me. Whether that would still be true if he appeared nowhere whether …
Between Life and Existence. Heidegger’s Aristotelianism and the Question of Animality
2021
This paper starts by investigating the Aristotelian roots of Heidegger’s stance toward animal life from 1924 lecture course “Basic concepts of Aristotelian philosophy” to 1929/30 lecture course “The fundamental concepts of Metaphysics”. In following Aristotle, Heidegger displays the ontological transition from life to existence as grounded to the peculiar linguistic ability of human beings. In doing that, both Heidegger and Aristotle seem to establish a connection between an existential faculty (logos) and the apparently dominant position occupied by our species. On the other side, though, to be endowed with logos means for human beings to be able to de-centre themselves in recognizing the …
Ma‘dûle Önermelerde Varlıksal İçerik Sorunu: Fahreddin er-Râzî-Kutbüddin et-Tahtânî Tartışması
2019
This paper addresses discussions in post-Avicennan Arabic logic on the definition of metathetic propositions and their status in relation to existential import requirements, focusing on the arguments made by Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (d. 606/1210) and the counter-arguments by Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī (d. 766/1365), who both establish their positions in the framework drawn by the most prominent figure in the tradition of classical Arabic logic, Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā, d. 428/1037). In the latter’s works, the problem of the existential import requirement in metathetic propositions (ma‘dūla) are thoroughly discussed and Avicenna seems to have presumed the existential import as a truth-condition f…

¿Prudencia o Sabiduría? Sinonimia e interacción visual
2020
Tanto la Sabiduría como la Prudencia han sido tratadas como términos sinónimos desde la Antigüedad. Ambos conceptos se personificaban mediante la diosa Atenea/Minerva. Estas correspondencias han dado lugar a un intercambio de papeles, siendo considerada la Sabiduría como una de las Virtudes Cardinales. Asimismo, en las alegorías de la Prudencia y la Sabiduría encontramos atributos idénticos que responden al mismo significado y función, concretamente: el aspecto armado, el libro, la lechuza, la criba o cedazo y la presencia de algún objeto lumínico.
Le crime comme fantasme et comme un moyen d'échapper à la situation de dépendance : autour de "L'Invitée" beauvoirienne
2016
The novel L’Invitee by Simone de Beauvoir deals with the age-old problem of the presence of the Other in the life of a free man. On the existential level, the book shows the contradiction between the human desire to be independent and the need to be loved. It also shows a morał (metaphysical) dilemma, relating to coexistence of the different types of awareness characteristic of Parisian artists and the world of the bourgeoisie. The confrontation with another man ends in inevitablc failure and the risk of committing the symbolic act of murder, arising out of jealousy, the inability to fully subjugate the other person, or possibly due to philosophical reasons. This conflict provides a backdro…
L’ambiguïté de la condition humaine et ses interprétations existentialistes selon Simone de Beauvoir
2018
Simone de Beauvoir perceives existentialism as a philosophy of ambiguity, suggesting that a man should reconcile the contradictions of the human condition. The philosophical essays of the author show the evolution of her thinking. Beauvoir discovers the paradoxes of existentialism, mainly the antimony between responsibility and powerlessness of an individual. Her work captures an image of reality while relativizing philosophical values and maintaining the opposites. Her texts show the ambivalent attitude of the author to existence. Thus, they reflect her point of view, according to which moral consciousness only exists when a person experiences some intellectual dissonance or a sense of fai…
