Determining Ius According to Thomas Aquinas: a Realistic Model for Juridical Decisions

The Thomistic reflection on ius presents itself as an interesting example of realistic reflection, since in it the legal system finds in judgment its fulcrum and judgment proves to be regulated by a criterion that is not primarily the application of the law but the achievement of justice. Achieving justice is carried out, however, through dialectics, according to an essentially realistic kind of objectivity, as shown by the Thomistic definitions of ius as ipsa res iusta and of the medium iustitiae as medium rei

Sul rappresentare tecnologico. Labels e biases in una prospettiva platonica

Abstract italiano Il presente studio vuol essere un contributo, da un punto di vista filosofico, alla comprensione dei problemi determinati dal ricorso a procedure di labeling nel Supervised Learning impiegato nelle decisioni giuridiche, in particolare giudiziarie. Pi\uf9 in generale, esso intende fornire alcuni spunti di riflessione sul rappresentare tecnologico, sulle problematiche che vi sono connesse e sui criteri che dovrebbero orientarlo secondo un approccio antropocentrico. A questo scopo l\u2019indagine si avvale delle considerazioni platoniche sull\u2019arte mimetica e sulla metretica, rinvenendo in alcuni testi del Filosofo ateniese le indicazioni delle caratteristiche necessarie per il costituirsi di un rappresentare autentico e non falsificante. Tali testi ci aiutano a comprendere come sia il bene dell\u2019uomo a doversi ritenere il criterio supremo di ogni rappresentare che abbia il suo oggetto nell\u2019uomo, a maggior ragione nel caso del rappresentare tecnologico, per le conseguenze operative cui esso inevitabilmente sottopone gli stessi rappresentati. English Abstract The present essay intends to contribute, from a philosophical point of view, to the understanding of problems that are caused by the recourse to labeling techniques of Supervised Learning in judicial decisions. More generally, this essay aims to develop some reflections about the technological representing, the related problems, and the criteria that should direct it according an anthropocentric approach. To this end an important support can be found in Platon: his considerations about mimetic art and metretike give us precious indications in order to constitute an authentic and not falsifying representing. More specifically, Platonic texts help us to understand that men\u2019s good is the supreme criterion of every representation of men, especially in case of technological representing, because of its operational consequences towards the represented themselves

Sul tomismo giuridico. Risposta a Danilo Castellano

Il saggio risponde alle osservazioni critiche rivolte da Danilo Castellano nei confronti del volume "Il tomismo giuridico del XX secolo. Antologia di autori e testi", a cura di E. Ancona e G. De Anna, Giappichelli, Torino 1015, soprattutto a causa dell'inclusione in esso di autori come Maritain, Finnis e MacIntyre, che, secondo Castellano, non dovrebbero essere considerati tomisti. La risposta evidenzia il carattere ideologico e superficiale di tali critiche

Moral Realism and Political Decisions. Practical Rationality in Contemporary Public Contexts

The challenge of realism is one of the common features of current philosophical debates, across different cultural traditions, and in many areas of investigation (epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, theory of action, etc.). The implications of realism for political philosophy and political practice, though, are just starting to become an object of systematic discussions. Such implications, however, are significant, since the area of politics is contiguous with that of ethics and action, for example. This volume intends to contribute to debates on the relevance of realism – especially moral realism – for politics. The essays included in the collection address a number of related issues, ranging from foundational problems of realism in ethics, action theory and politics, to questions about pragmatics, to difficulties in political theory, and to political hindrances related to economics and legal theory. The common focus of all essays is the relevance of realism for a conception of practical rationality in political contexts.Die Herausforderungen, vor die uns der Realismus stellt, sind in aktuellen philosophischen Debatten gegenwärtig und sie machen sich durch unterschiedliche kulturelle Traditionen und viele Untersuchungsbereiche (Erkenntnistheorie, Metaphysik, Ethik, Ästhetik, Handlungstheorie, etc.) hindurch bemerkbar. Die Auswirkungen des Realismus auf die Politische Philosophie und die politische Praxis sind jedoch erst seit kurzem Gegenstand systematischer Diskussionen, obwohl sie von Bedeutung sind, denn letztlich steht der Bereich der Politik immer in einem Zusammenhang mit Fragen der Ethik und der Handlung. Dieser Band möchte einen Beitrag zu den Debatten über die Relevanz des Realismus für die Politik leisten und hat dabei insbesondere den moralischen Realismus im Blick. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze enthalten eine Reihe von Auseinandersetzungen mit damit zusammenhängenden Problemstellungen, die von grundlegenden Problemen des Realismus in der Ethik, Handlungstheorie und Politik, Fragen zur Pragmatik, über die Schwierigkeiten der Politischen Theorie, bis hin zu politischen Hindernissen für Wirtschaft und Recht reichen. Der gemeinsame Fokus aller Aufsätze liegt dabei in der Betrachtung der Relevanz eines Realismus‘ für eine Konzeption einer praktischen Vernunft im politischen Kontext

Kat\ue0 t\uf2n orth\uf2n l\uf3gon. Linee per una rilettura della tradizione aristotelica della giustizia

The present essay considers the specificity of the concept of justice as virtue in the Aristotelian tradition. This concept stands out both for the conjunction of virtue as its subjective constituent and equality as its intersubjective constituent, and for the rational ground of this conjunction, the Aristotelian doctine of practical reason. In the contemporary debates the autors that refer to Stagirite\u2019s ethics have shown that his concept of justice presupposes a specific dialectical methodology too, that of the Topics. This methodology fits Aristotelian justice also for the contemporary pluralistic and multicultural frameworks. From this perspective the notion of human flourishing, the Anscombian equivalent of the Aristotelian eudaimonia, constitutes an orientation for practical reason and a parameter for dialectical rationality. Hence, justice can be redefined as the social virtue of human flourishing

Soggettivit\ue0, responsabilit\ue0, normativit\ue0 4.0. Profili filosofico-giuridici dell'intelligenza artificiale. Introduzione

This focus intends to deal with juridical responsability of AI, considered both as an object and as a subject of legal rules and regulations or judicial decisions. Beyond indispensable IT expertise and essential law knowledge, the consideration of both aspects requires a philosophical awareness of basic notions as subjectivity, responsability, normativity. This topic is therefore dealed according a multidiciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, having recourse to the contribution of a complex system physicist (Samir Suweis), a constitutionalist (Andrea Simoncini), a philosopher of law (Agata Amato Mangiameli) and a philosopher of action (Gabriele Da Anna)

Quale tomismo? Risposta a un critico

Il saggio riflette sul significato e sulla legittimit\ue0 dell'uso dell'espressione "tomismo giuridico" in riferimento ad alcuni filosofi del diritto che nel corso del Novecento si sono richiamati al pensiero di Tommaso d'Aquino. Per questa riflessione il saggio prende spunto da una recensione al volume "Il tomismo giuridico del XX secolo. Antologia di autori e testi", a cura di E. Ancona e G. De Anna, Giappichelli, Torino 1015
