Starting from a study of the semiotic concept of the city as a closed text, stratified and negotiated by its inhabitants, this contribution focuses on the aedes sacrae as monument-logos that reflect the different cultural- religious identities that nowadays populate modern post-secular cities. Subsequently, moving from the phenomena of ‘spatial…
This article deals with the logic of fiqh as the understanding of Šarī‘ah. Its core argument is that the distinctive nature of fiqh, as a specific type of law making, consists of the delivery of verdicts.To support this theory, the article preliminarily focuses on the tenets of Muslim cosmology/legal theology…
This article aims to analyze some specific elements of Maurice Hauriou’s institutionalist theory. Dealing with Hauriou is an opportunity to discuss once again the philosophical-legal aspects that shape the backbone of traditional legal institutionalism and to reconsider the theoretical sources Hauriou may have drawn on. In the three genealogical itineraries…
This study is in the area of forensic linguistics that aims to make legal documents understandable, readable and complete. The starting point of this analysis is the well-known but still unresolved problem of complexity and lack of clarity of bank information sheets offered to consumers, as such stemming from the…
This article tries to propose and exercise a graphical perspective as a critique of the theoretical normativity inherent in the philosophy of law. Philosophy of law is placed in a tradition or interweaving of graphic practices: writing, alphabet, text, grammar, etc. This ideal and potentially abysmal genealogy takes form as…

In discursive activity there is an unremitting interplay between logical aspects and the web of interwoven interactions that bind the parts together. As rhetorical theories emphasize, in contrast with dominant dialectical-argumentative models, this happens because being…
Antonio Rosmini’s philosophy of law is inherently chorological. This aspect of his thought is recognizable, in particular, in the genetics of subsistent law, which is to be traced the human person, and in the ethics of formation: all of which are inscribed in the synthesis of the three forms of…
In this essay, I attempt to build a bridge between Greco’s theoretical approach to trust and, respectively, the related remarks propounded in this journal by Ricca and the methodological discourse developed in a recent book by Ciaramelli. I will evaluate each of the cited contributions analytically to bring to the…
This essay analyzes the genetic paths of Western legal subjectivity within the semantic spectrum of legal capacity. In turn, the historical transfigurations of legal capacity are traced by probing their phylogenetic connections—as it were—with the phenomenology of the sacred. To this end, the investigation unfolds through three basic articulations: a)…
