Per una secolarizzazione della scienza. Scienziati o terrapiattisti?
2020
Le teorie scientifiche, quando pretendono di imporsi come descrizioni metafisiche del cosmo, senza l’attenta vigilanza di una disciplina critico-filosofica, rischiano di straripare in una terra di nessuno in cui nani e giganti si combattono senza regole e con la sola arma spuntata dell’opinione indiscriminata.

Augusto Del Noce: ideologia e politica nell’epoca della secolarizzazione
2021
In questo saggio è messo a tema il modo con cui il marxismo agisce nella realtà europea, ponendone in relazione gli effetti nello scenario dell’epoca della secolarizzazione. Il paradosso consiste nel fatto che il pensiero marxiano diviene un alleato inconsapevole dello spirito borghese, cioè divulgando come parametro dell’azione la logica del consumismo e uno stile di vita secolarizzato. This essay focuses on the way in which Marxism acts in the European reality, relating its effects in the scenario of the age of secularization. The paradox consists in the fact that Marxian thought becomes an unconscious ally of the bourgeois spirit, that is, divulging the logic of consumerism and a secular…
Rethinking Secular Time in Victorian England
2022
This open access book draws on conceptual resources ranging from medieval scholasticism to postmodern theory to propose a new understanding of secular time and its mediation in nineteenth-century technological networks. Untethering the concept of secularity from questions of ‘religion’ and ‘belief’, it offers an innovative rethinking of the history of secularisation that will appeal to students, scholars, and everyone interested in secularity, Victorian culture, the history of technology, and the temporalities of modernity.

Reseña de Hans KELSEN, Religión secular. Una polémica contra la malinterpretación de la filosofía social, la ciencia y la política modernas como “nue…
2017
En esta reseña intentaremos, después de ofrecer un resumen rápido de las tesis del libro, poner de relieve algunos límites de la argumentación de Kelsen que podrían explicar hipotéticamente la razón por la cual Kelsen decidió no publicar esta obra y, al mismo tiempo, permitirían contextualizar este silencio justo en un momento en el que el autor intentaba superar el dualismo entre ser y deber ser como objetos irreducibles de dos diversas ciencias a favor de un monismo epistemológico empirista
Mondo della vita e senso religioso. Sulla valenza etica e cognitiva della fede secondo Habermas
2022
The essay intends retrace the development of the relationship between secular reason and religious language in Habermas's thought. To this end, the essay focuses on the theory of translation, and on complementary learning. The first part will provide a comparison between the conception of modernity and the progressive promotion – on both a cognitive and normative level – of the religious sense. The second part advances an interpretation of the public sphere conceived as a secular space for the cooperation between reason and religion. Lastly, the article highlights the problematic excess of the religious sense by considering the rationalization of its semantic contents.
Secular Religion as a Tool for the Realization of Democratic Citizenship. The Thesis of John Dewey (1859-1952)
2021
This contribution aims to propose a critical reflection on a particularly complex theme for international pedagogical literature: religion. This will be done through a constant dialogue with John Dewey, a philosopher and pedagogist of American origin who, in addition to having dedicated himself to philosophical, political and pedagogical issues, has had interesting reflections on the religious phenomenon. Therefore, attention will be turned to such of his writings as Moral Theory and Practice of 1891, in which Dewey treated the religious question implicitly, wondering about human conduct and the need for it to be oriented by a morality that directed the individual towards the exercise of th…

LA PREGHIERA POST-SECOLARIZZATA DEI MILLENNIALS
2019
The article discusses the theme of prayer understood as a process of individual research of a secular spirituality rather than as a ritual practice among members of the same faith. Trough the answers given by a sample of 1026 students of Palermo University, the prayer appears as the result of a individualization’s process and assumes post-secularized connotations. The answers given during the focus groups conducted, identify in the choice of Millennials to ‘pray’ an activity of reflection that goes beyond the autopoietic and self-referential dimension.Millennials’ pray is a self-reflexive prayer that often questions the great themes of this time – euthanasia, abortion, procreative choices, …
The Role of Nature in the Secularization of Criminal Law in Europe (17th–19th Centuries)
2020
Some authors have argued that enlightenment authors endorsed a social contract that was not compatible with the existence of laws of nature or a moral foundation for criminal law, while nineteenth-century liberal criminal lawyers founded criminal law upon a natural law theory, based on divine commands. This chapter demonstrates on the contrary that enlightenment authors did not necessarily make a sharp distinction between morality and criminal law, nor did 19th-century criminal lawyers adopted a conception of criminal law that was too heavily dependent on morality, as it was defended by medieval and early-modern-age scholars. The traditional dichotomy between enlightened thinkers and tradit…
