Language and Intersubjectivity: From the Phenomenology of Spirit to Habermas’ Diskursethik 

Abstract: In this paper I aim to trace an itinerary through Hegelian Phenomenology to Jürgen Habermas’ Diskurethik. Hegel lays the groundwork for placing relationality at the origin of self-consciousness and addresses the problem of plurality of perspectives on the world, seeking a solution in the linguistic medium. Habermas draws on Hegel’s thought, identifying a structural ethicality underlying our communication.

Which Subject in Hume? 

Abstract: In Hume’s scholarship the notion of “subject” lacks systematic analysis. First, because it is often confused with words such as “self ”, “soul” or “person”, which repeatedly occur in the Treatise. Another reason is that the subject is almost always reduced to the famous question of personal identity. In this paper I argue that, on the one hand, the concept of subject has to be distinguished from that of “self ” or “person”, and from the question of personal … Continua a leggere

We Have Never Been Contemporary: For a Historicization of the Intraspecific Subjectivity of the Ontological Turn 

Abstract: Analysing the ontological turn’s fundamentals, this paper aims at highlighting inherent contradictions within this theoretical framework, particularly concerning the denial of coevity between an ‘us’ and a ‘them’, imposed by Viveiros de Castro. The Brazilian anthropologist advocates for a methodological revolution in ethnography, achievable through the metamorphosis across different prospectives-ontologies: only by fully embodying the Other, entering their worlds and destroying our own initial subjectivity – and thus … Continua a leggere

The Use of Event: Transformation of the Idea of History in Michel Foucault (1966-1971) 

Abstract: Between 1966 and 1971 Michel Foucault’s philosophy moves from the paradigm of archaeology, present in his well-known work as Les mots et les choses and L’archéologie du savoir, to that of genealogy, influenced by authors like Nietzsche and Deleuze. The problem of historical knowledge stands at the center of this transformation. This essay tries to account this shift in Foucault’s philosophy from the point of view of the event: from … Continua a leggere

Drawing from the theoretical frameworks of Marx and Borkenau, this study examines how specific worldviews emerge through the modification of daily experiences mediated by technology.

Ecology and Metabolism:The Metabolic Rift from Eco-Marxism to Marx 

Abstract: In this essay, I will focus on some essential assumptions of the so-called metabolic rift theory, which sought to understand the Marxian concept of Stoffwechsel from an ecological perspective. In the first part, I will focus on the genesis of this Marxist current of ecology, dwelling in particular on the issue of Marx’s alleged productivism. Subsequently, I will shed some light on the Marxian notion of metabolism, attempting (a) to situate the concept within the … Continua a leggere
