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,…
The philosophy of intercultural law presents itself as a necessary instrument of enquiry that enables the jurist to navigate the open sea of law and life. The proposed contribution aims at focusing on the relationship extant between philosophy, law and interculture, emphasising some philosophical-legal issues and dimensions such as translation,…
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…
The paper draws inspiration from an insight by Simone Weil, based on a reflection on the crusade against the Cathars between the 11th and 13th centuries. According to the philosopher, this historical event constitutes a little-studied but decisive watershed between opposing conceptions of man, society, and law, which resolve themselves…

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….
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…
