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…
Identity, responsibility and citizenship are seriously challenged by datafication, that is, the process by which subjects, objects, and practices are transformed into digital data. This leads to a progressive de-humanization of these dimensions, as their meaning is made in reference to an abstract and disembodied data subject. Connecting their meaning…
The paper aims to examine some aspects of the legal philosophical theory of Marsilius of Padua contained in his main work, the Defensor Pacis, which have received less attention than the historical and political profiles, and the more classical themes of popular sovereignty and secularism. More specifically, it examines some passages of…
The modern vestment of the contractual will is not a conventional, but an institutional language. It is spoken – or rather, practiced – within ‘virtual rooms’ where the problem is not the lack of information, but an excessof it; and where semantic obscurity is not linked merely to the choice of words used to formulate this or…
Taking as starting point the Multimedia Handbook of Philosophy of Law by Thomas Casadei and Gianfrancesco Zanetti, the author of the contribution analyses its methodological structure highlighting not only the characteristics that determine its completeness and originality in the legal-philosophical panorama, but also some conceptual nodes of the contemporary debate on law, rights and…
