This article proffers an analysis of hope as a philosophical category, with the aim of providing an epistemological basis for the study and understanding of a normative theory of law. Rather than being a concept limited to theology, philosophical and political reflection on hope broadens the theoretical and practical scope…
This essay aims to analyze studies on gender and sexuality by adopting a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from the sociology of law to European Union law. In particular, we will seek to understand to what extent and in what ways the philosophy of law has influenced studies on sexuality and gender,…
Genealogical expressions give depth to a juridical textual system that is neither arbitrary nor totalitarian, nor solipsistically conforming to hegemonic techno-formal demands, but rather refers to the essential represented by logical-rational-relational functioning. The genealogical question, accompanied by a wealth of meaning, that is to say, by a commitment to transmission…
Among the countless foundational questions regarding the Metaverse, one stands out: Can an avatar be endowed with legal subjectivity? This research aims to answer this question by applying the theoretical paradigm of the philosopher John R. Searle “X counts as Y in C.” In other words, is it possible for…
This paper aims to explore civil disobedience within the framework of the Algorithmic Society, beginning with the paradigmatic figure of Antigone as a symbolic reference for conscientious opposition to established authority. After reconstructing the main theoretical and conceptual foundations of civil disobedience, the analysis focuses on its evolution from “electronic”…
The article offers a critical analysis of Timothy Morton’s “post-environmentalist” theories through the lens of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology to explore their potential contribution to a philosophy of disability law. The first part investigates the concept of ‘vulnerability’ and how its traditional doctrinal understanding can be deepened through Morton’s speculative thought….
Prison is an institution fashioned by male characteristics and needs, in which women are a minority, sharply separated by gender. The perspective of female difference allows us to grasp certain aspects of incarceration practices, such as the construction of female subjectivity—incompetent rather than guilty—and its identification with motherhood. The approach…
The right to voluntary termination of pregnancy (VTP) is undergoing increasing erosion on a global scale, not so much through explicit repeals as through regulatory restrictions and legal interpretations that limit effective access. This trend reflects growing political and cultural control over women’s bodies and a crisis of the rule…
This paper investigates the concept of sustainability through the metaphor of the threshold, reframing the temporal relationship between present and future. Moving beyond the dominant logic in which present determines future possibilities, the analysis proposes a reversal: the future, in its indeterminacy, shapes the present. By engaging with key philosophical…
The present contribution is part of a broader investigation that involves the jurist in a dynamic and constantly evolving training process. The aim is to focus attention on an increasingly ‘diastemic’ legal science (using François Jullien’s lexicon) characterised by continuous transformations that make it ‘escape’ from a purely ‘systemic’ logic…
