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.

This short essay seeks to probe, from a semi-anthropological perspective, the ternary relationship between three cultural categories/archetypes: the ‘Sabbath,’ ‘Babel,’ and ‘Otherness,’ respectively. ‘Translation’ is treated as the…
While foreign policy and international affairs are increasingly showing a new kind of worldwide tension, the legal reflections on concepts such as ‘just’ and ‘unjust’ wars seem to have attracted a deeper level of attention. The most common conclusion is that an accepted system of interstate regulation has failed to…
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…
What does ‘trusting’ really mean? Is it a matter of reason or, instead, one of feeling? 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…
