Rights, Balancing and Certainty
2022
L’indeterminatezza è una delle caratteristiche salienti del diritto negli stati costituzionali contemporanei. Tale caratteristica mette in crisi le concezioni “oggettualistiche” del diritto che riducono il diritto a un insieme di norme o a un insieme di fatti e corrobora quelle concezioni che considerano il diritto una pratica sociale interpretativa. La costituzionalizzazione degli ordinamenti giuridici accresce la flessibilità del diritto a detrimento della certezza e impone a tutti – legislatori, giudici e individui soggetti al diritto – di assumersi le proprie responsabilità e i rischi che ne conseguono. Il modo in cui il legislatore, a diversi livelli, fronteggia l’attuale pandemia da C…
The impact of sea-level rise on baselines: a question of interpretation of the UNCLOS or evolution of customary law?
2022
In the framework of the broader question of the adverse impact of sea-level rise on low-lying coastal and archipelagic States, the specific question of the effects on baselines has been receiving increasing attention in the international debate. The question is whether, once a State has determined its baselines by a legislative or administrative act, these lines are fixed and will not be altered by any subsequent physical change due to the SLR. In other words, could baselines be opposable to other States regardless of a substantial change in the configuration of the coasts? Or, on the contrary, are baselines ambulatory so that in case of inundation of coastal areas, the baselines will move …
Final commentary: What is the Qurʾān?
2019
The Qurʾān is often described as a holy book revered by Muslims. While this is a functional description on one level, taking into consideration the inherent structures and flexibilities in the text, as well as its discursive nature, its interpretation and reception, it may in a more comprehensible way be described as a hypertext.
Cartesian Psychology – Could There Be One?
2008
The chapter examines what it would mean to talk about “psychology” in Descartes’ terms and argues that within the Cartesian framework we cannot really formulate the questions that are posed by contemporary psychologists. This results from the fact that psychological topics can be found on all three levels of Cartesian science: in metaphysics, in physics and finally in the applied sciences, such as medicine and morals. The aim is to show that the sensory and vegetative functions are often taken together by Descartes. Therefore, the Cartesian system does not recognize any principal difference between sensory functions, such as vision, and vegetative functions, such as digestion. Humans can be…
CONSTRUCTION OF A GEOGRAPHICAL DATABASE OF CLASSICAL-ARCHAIC MANUFACTURES, FOUND IN THE SURVEY OF THE GREEK COLONY HIMERA (SICILY, ITALY). APPLICATIO…
2012
Abstract. This research has analysed the distribution of ceramic finds from classical and archaic ages in the territory of the ancient Greek colony Himera, a town situated near Termini Imerese, in the province of Palermo (Sicily, Italy), which has been the site of systematic excavations carried out by the University of Palermo since the Sixties. The study of about 1500 ceramic fragments, dated back to the 6th-5th century B.C., has allowed to develop an approach to the understanding of the role played by ceramics in the relations between different societies and cultures. Besides the most common analysis factors for the ceramic manufactures, such as their production and distribution, a major …
The Form is Not a Proper Part in Aristotle’s Metaphysics Z.17, 1041b11–33
2018
When Aristotle argues at the 'Metaphysics' Z.17, 1041b11–33 that a whole, which is not a heap, contains ‘something else’, i.e. the form, besides the elements, it is not clear whether or not the form is a proper part of the whole. I defend the claim that the form is not a proper part within the context of the relevant passage, since the whole is divided into elements, not into elements and the form. Different divisions determine different senses of ‘part’, and thus the form is not a part in the same sense as the elements are parts. I object to Koslicki’s (2006) interpretation, according to which the form is a proper part along the elements in a single sense of ‘part’, although she insists th…
¿Quién sabe si es posible saber lo que es justo? la teoría del conocimiento y el estatuto epistemológico de las ciencias normativas: a propósito de H…
2011
RESUMEN En esta comunicación se sugiere una revisión de la clásica escisión entre teorías cognotivistas y no cognotivistas, a la luz que pueda resultar del repaso a algunos hitos de la teoría del conocimiento como nueva “filosofía primera” o “filosofía primera” propia de la modernidad y que debieron afectar a la cuestión del estatuto epistemológico de las llamadas ciencias normativas. Se hace especial referencia a la teoría del conocimiento de David Hume. ABSTRACT In this paper we suggest a revision of the classic division between cognotivistic and non cognotivistic points of view after reviewing some “highlights” of the theory of knowledge as a new "first philosophy" or philosophy of mod…
En defensa de una concepción alternativa de la interpretación jurídica
2011
RESUMEN El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar críticamente las concepciones de la interpretación jurídica – cognitiva, escéptica, e intermedia – que vienen copando la discusión en torno a esta cuestión en el ámbito de la Teoría del Derecho y presentar los rasgos básicos de una comprensión de la tarea interpretativa, en cierto sentido alternativa a las anteriores teorías estándar, que ofrece una mejor explicación de sus aspectos centrales ABSTRACT This work looks critically into three conceptions of legal interpretation - cognitive, skeptical, and intermediate- that come monopolizing the discussion on this issue in the field of Law Theory. This paper presents the basic features o…
El alcance práctico del lenguaje no sexista solicitado desde el plano normativo: ¿Una cuestión resuelta?
2011
RESUMEN. En el ámbito jurídico cada vez es más frecuente encontrar expresiones que hacen alusión a la utilización de un lenguaje no sexista. El plano normativo quizá sea uno de los más representativos. En este trabajo se consideran varias leyes de igualdad donde aparecen expresiones de este tipo. Partiendo de esta circunstancia, se pretende dejar constancia de la dificultad que entraña la interpretación del alcance práctico de dichas expresiones. De otro lado se consideran también algunas prácticas que ya se pueden apreciar en nuestros días, y que aunque en principio pudieran considerarse una solución a la circunstancia precedente, también ofrecen algunos problemas.ABSTRACT. In the legal wo…
Notes sobre la tradició textual del Llibre dels Àngels de Francesc Eiximenis
2010
L’edició completa de les obres de Francesc Eiximenis és una empresa filològica que presenta dificultats objectives, no només perquè les obres tenen un pes material més que considerable, sinó també per la gran quantitat de testimonis manuscrits i impresos que cal col·lacionar. Amb l’objectiu d’ajudar a superar aquestes dificultats, ja fa alguns anys que l’Institut de Llengua i Cultura Catalanes de la Universitat de Girona ha emprès la publicació de les Obres de Francesc Eiximenis, i avui afortunadament podem afirmar que les obres d’Eiximenis, especialment les inèdites, ja tenen equips de treball que s’ocupen de la preparació de les edicions corresponents. Paral·lelament, i en la mateixa líni…
