Religión y cultura política liberal: sobre las discusiones Ratzinger-Habermas
2010
La idea más básica de Habermas en su discusión con Ratzinger en el 2004 es que la filosofía actual no tiene más remedio que abordar el fenómeno de la persistencia de las religiones también desde dentro, como desafío cognitivo. En una sociedad postsecular, que no puede menos que contar con la persistencia de las religiones corno tal desafío, la filosofía no puede pretender convertirse ya en juez de la verdad o no verdad de los contenidos de la religión, sino que en ella las mentalidades religiosas y seculares habrían de entender el proceso de modernización corno un proceso de aprendizaje complementario, tomándose mutuamente en serio por razones cognitivas: las religiones haciendo derivar los…
Homeschooling, freedom of conscience, and the school as republican sanctuary: an analysis of arguments representing polar conceptions of the secular …
2016
This paper examines how stances and understandings pertaining to whether home education is civically legitimate within liberal democratic contexts can depend on how one conceives normative roles of the secular state and the religious neutrality that is commonly associated with it. For the purposes of this paper, home education is understood as a manifestation of an educational philosophy ideologically based on a given conception of the good. Two polar conceptions of secularism, republican and liberal-pluralist, are explored. Republican secularists declare that religious expressions do not belong in the public sphere and justify this exclusion by promoting religious neutrality as an end in i…
La pedagogia di Aldo Capitini e la democrazia. Orizzonti di formazione per l'uomo nuovo
2014
L’educazione alla democrazia prospettata da Aldo Capitini viene riconsiderata alla luce delle nuove emergenze poste dall’attuale società del pluralismo; egli, con uno sguardo lungo e anticipatamente post-moderno, consegna alle nuove generazioni un’inedita idea di democrazia, l’omnicrazia, e rilancia il rapporto tra politica e religione come necessario per promuovere un’educazione che miri alla formazione integrale dell’uomo. La proposta del metodo nonviolento, la realizzazione di comunità educanti in cui ci si formi ad un agire politico consapevole e responsabile, la sinergia tra spiritualità e politica, l’approccio laico e insieme religioso, sono alcuni fra gli aspetti più attuali di una p…
Quality of Life of the Guaraní Community
2017
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Ferdinand Tonnies distinguished two forms of clustering of base: community and society, defining the community as that form of socialization in which subjects, according to their common origin, local proximity or shared values, had attained a degree of implicit consensus. Currently, it can be understood as locality and as a group relationship, emphasizing the first a physical/geographical proximity and the second, interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, considering quality of life, Tonon (2007) points out that its study concerns the material and psychosocial environment, recognizing two areas of well-being: the social and the psychological, the la…
Franco Salvo maestro di democrazia nella Sicilia del secondo dopoguerra
2018
Franco Salvo (1916-1983), professore di Storia e Filosofia presso il liceo classico Umberto I di Palermo fin dall’immediato dopoguerra, fu un «maestro di laicità» impegnato a formare i giovani ai valori della democrazia. Studioso appassionato di filosofia morale e storico, visse l’insegnamento come una missione laica orientata a formare le nuove generazioni alla libertà, alla responsabilità e ai principi fondanti della Costituzione. Durante le sue lezioni dava infatti ampio spazio all’educazione civica che insegnava entro una prospettiva storica, che considerava la più adeguata ad affrontare il tema dei diritti dell’uomo. Il suo metodo educativo era orientato a sviluppare una mentalità crit…

Faith- based diplomacy and cultural security: Between pluralism and particularism
2023
Two basic approaches to faith-based diplomacy (FBD) have developed over the last twenty years. For some, it is a synonym of supra-denominational conflict prevention and resolution, and for others, it is an element of the state’s foreign policy exploited to achieve not just cultural but also political goals. The purpose of the chapter is to present the interrelationships between FBD and cultural security in the context of the “return of religion” and the “post-secular turn”. The conducted analysis, which is theoretical in nature, contributes to the discussion on the role of the religious determinant, pointing to the existence of two fundamentally separate approaches to the application of rel…
The Palaeomagnetism of the Permian Rocks of the Black Forest, Germany
1972
Summary Palaeomagnetic measurements made upon Permian samples from the Black Forest, Odenwald and Pfalzerwald (excluding those measurements on samples from the Schopfheim basin) are consistent with those from north-western Europe. The virtual pole based upon 18 sites is 174.9°E. 48.4N. The measurements made on the fine-grained shales and mudstones from the Schopfheim basin are significantly different from the preceding. Since incorrect age assignment, sampling, components of secondary magnetic and tectonic effects can be excluded, the difference is attributed to incomplete removal of the effects of secular variation. The Scharfenstein massif previously regarded as Permian, was found to have…
Correlation of welded ignimbrites on Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily) using paleomagnetism
2011
Although the oldest volcanic rocks exposed at Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily) are older than 300 ka, most of the island is covered by the 45–50 ka Green Tuff ignimbrite, thought to be related to the Cinque Denti caldera, and younger lavas and scoria cones. Pre-50 ka rocks (predominantly rheomorphic ignimbrites) are exposed at isolated sea cliffs, and their stratigraphy and chronology are not completely resolved. Based on volcanic stratigraphy and K/Ar dating, it has been proposed that the older La Vecchia caldera is related to ignimbrite Q (114 ka), and that ignimbrites F, D, and Z (106, 94, and 79 ka, respectively) were erupted after caldera formation. We report here the paleomagnetic direc…
Pope Francis’ “Culture of Encounter” and “Fraternity”: Enhancing the Postsecular Discourse in IR
2021
On February 4, 2019, the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together was signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayeb in Abu Dhabi. The moment marked a historical breakthrough in the area of interreligious dialogue becoming one of the broadest commented interreligious initiatives of the last decades. But it also symbolized the changing role of religious discourse in its relation to the political discourse as well as their mutual “entanglement”. Soon the series of events that followed visibly evidenced the growing role of the religious ideas and religious actors in the global discussion on the most problematic contemporary issues and their increasingly collab…
