Negli ultimi anni il dibattito circa i metodi della filosofia politica è stato caratterizzato dal moltiplicarsi di opzioni diverse in merito al rapporto tra teoria normativa e metaetica. In particolare ha avuto successo l'idea che le teorie normative siano autonome rispetto alle questioni filosofiche di secondo ordine. In questo articolo è presentato e discusso il dibattito sul quietismo, sia nella sua versione ridotta per cui la metaetica è di per sé normativa, sia in quella ampia, per cui considerazioni metaetiche sono inutili e controproducenti alla teoria normativa. Sullo sfondo di questo dibattito è presentata e discussa la posizione metodologica di Rawls. L'obiettivo è quello di capire se la proposta rawlsiana dell'indipendenza della teoria morale e del method of avoidance sia soddisfacente. Infine, un nuovo punto di vista sui benefici della metaetica per la teoria normativa viene presentato e difeso. ; In recent years the philosophical debate about the methods of political philosophy has been characterized by an increasing number of different options concerning the relation between normative theory and metaethics. In particular, the idea that normative theories are autonomous from second-order issues has gained great attention. In this article, the debate about quietism is presented and analysed, both in its restricted version, according to which metaetichs simply is part of normative theory, and in its broad one, according to which metaethical considerations are counterproductive for normative theories. Drawing from this debate, Rawls's methodological position is presented. The aim is to understand whether the rawlsian project about the independence of moral theory and the method of avoidance is satisfactory. In conclusion, a new point of view on the benefits metaethics can offer to normative theory is defended.

Parte-se do estado da arte feito por Muniz Sodré (2012a) sobre a abordagem acadêmica do campo comunicacional e a dificuldade para defini-lo em seu aspecto "científico". No intuito de prospectar além dos paradigmas identificados por Sodré (o sociológico, dos efeitos; e o semiótico, dos códigos), propõe-se o paradigma pulsional que orienta a Transformática, teoria psicanalítica da comunicação.

The topic of this article is εἱμαρμένη theory. It analyzes focusly the relationship of εἱμαρμένη theory of the Corp. Herm. 12.5-9 and Middle Platonic sources. The results of analysis limits to answer to εἱμαρμένη theory of Hermetism and Middle Platonism. Nevertheless, there are different points of view about εἱμαρμένη theory in Middle-Platonism. Therefore, the study is limited in scope, involving mainly the Corp. Herm. 12.5-9, De Fato by Plutarch of Chaeronea, De Doctrina Platonis by Alcinous and De Platone by Apuleius of Madaura. This article points out, through the historical-comparative philosophical method, that εἱμαρμένη theory of the Corp. Herm. 12.5-9 is predominantly Middle Platonic despite of occurrences of the (neo)Stoic propositions. So, in particular, this paper assumes that the Corp. Herm. 12.5-9 has a combination of heimarmenology with the Platonic theory of the νοῦς. First, one will point out the meanings of εἱμαρμένη and its correlates in the Corp. Herm. as a whole in comparison with Platonism. Afterwards, one will discuss the choice of prudent and passionate actions by the soul in Corp. Herm. 12.-5-9. Then, one will seek to explain what are the implications of εἱμαρμένη in the ἐλλόγιμοι (wise) in the Corp. Herm. 12.-5-9. Finally, it will be shown that this text is influenced by the theory of conditional or hypothetical fate unlike a purely Stoic doctrine.

The concept of Ontology has several outlines in the philosophical universe, whether in the analytical or continental tradition, but when we enter the Social Sciences field it is reduced basically to a phenomenological approach. This article aims to understand this phenomenological trait in the Social Sciences, in addition to pointing to other paths on the horizon, mainly using Graham Harman's Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), as well as other authors of this contemporary tradition. Although famous in the philosophical field, it is still very unknown in Social Theory, which opens a new space for debates, questions, and many new articulations.

The early 20th century has witnessed major transformations in both scientific and musical
domains. In particular, relativity has shown space and time to have physical reality (in
contrast to a priori conditions of objects), and the hierarchical structure of tonality was
abandoned in favor of progressively more systematic methods of composition evolving
from twelve-tone music. By singling out the migration of the scientific understanding of
space and time to musical terrain, as legitimization and metaphor for some theoretical
proposals of integral serialism, a parallel is drawn between the two fields which shows the
entwinement of scientific output and artistic theory and practice in post-war avant-garde.

Social impact finance has emerged in recent years in response to the crisis of traditional welfare systems and the gradual decrease in public funding to the Third Sector, by offering new financial instruments to convey private capital to social entrepreneurship in order to create positive social impact combined with economic returns (Agrawal and Hockerts, 2019; Daggers and Nicholls, 2016; Hochstadter and Scheck, 2015). The debate on the effective application of these instruments has so far focused on social impact as a measurement for return on invested capital, neglecting the role of motivations driving involved agents (investors and social entrepreneurs). In this work, we investigate the impact of different financial instruments on governance structures and on the motivations of social enterprise stakeholders, both from a theoretical point of view and through pilot experiments that mimic the main features of social impact finance. Our experimental design aims to recreate in the laboratory the relationship between social enterprise, beneficiaries and financiers, including the following characteristics: extremely diversified/personalized goods/services (complexity); quality of the good/service; risk (linked to the effectiveness of the intervention provided) and components related to: information asymmetries, evaluation (impact), parameters of the financial instrument. Starting from this setting, we intend to evaluate the effect on motivations of alternative evaluation methods (input, output, outcome) linked to the financial instrument.

Este artigo tem como contexto a publicidade e o pensamento comunicacional e objetiva avaliar os alcances e limites da publicidade, no contexto contemporâneo, sob a perspectiva da Teoria Social de Niklas Luhmann, a qual permite o redimensionamento da relação entre comunicação e sociedade, bem como da noção de representação, colocando-se, portanto, na contramão de teorias da comunicação bem assentadas na área da comunicação. Para tanto, apresentam-se reflexões sobre a publicidade na confluência do pensamento comunicacional e aspectos da teoria mencionada, com ênfase no conceito de heterorreferência, seguido de exemplos envolvendo o sistema das marcas e a publicidade. A importância desse artigo está na possibilidade de repensar a publicidade e seus atributos em função do fluxo das diversas correntes do pensamento comunicacional estabelecidas.

The article aims to analyze the theoretical and practical knowledge involving investigative journalism, its theoretical and methodological knowledge and practice in Brazil. The discussion analyzes the four reports awarded the Public Agency in 2014, exclusively female authors. The theoretical framework is based on deontology of journalism, investigative reporting and verification methods. We picked up the Public Agency for pioneering its proposal in Brazil.

The aim of this paper is to stimulate the new generations of constitutional law scholars to deepen the work of a legal expert considered by the most heretical, since, inspired by the Gramscian idea of the philosophy of praxis, perceived as expressive of the responsibility of the social function of intellectual, pursued the practice of "telling the truth to power". The paper therefore aims to outline the characteristics of the method used by Salvatore d'Albergo in the analysis of public and constitutional law. A method inspired by the Gramscian philosophy of praxis and therefore of an interdisciplinary nature and inserted in the perspective of history, which aimed at a unitary and organic knowledge and therefore critical of reality. Some applications of this method can be identified in the demystification of the category of "material constitution" developed by Sergio Panunzio and developed by Costantino Mortati and in the criticism of Norberto Bobbio's theory on the "non-existence of a Marxist theory of the state". From the vast work of d'Albergo, some essays can then be identified that critically analyze the causes of the transition from the phase of the democratization process of the seventies, to the phase of the modernization process of the eighties of the twentieth century, up to the current phase characterized by a profound democratic, economic, social and environmental crisis. Furthermore, some valuable indications are drawn from the reflection of d'Albergo to get out from the phase of regression and to start again a democratic and progressive path. ; Lo scopo del presente lavoro è di stimolare le nuove generazioni di studiosi di diritto costituzionale, ad approfondire l'opera di un giuspubblicista considerato dai più eretico, poiché, ispirandosi alla concezione gramsciana della filosofia della prassi, avvertita come espressiva della responsabilità della funzione sociale dell'intellettuale, perseguì la pratica di dire la verità al potere. Lo scritto mira dunque a delineare le caratteristiche del metodo ...

open ; deliberative democracy participatory democracy citizens deliberative arenas ; Partendo dei presupposti teorici della democrazia deliberativa e la "promessa" di trasformazione del cittadino in cittadino "ideale" per via della deliberazione pubblica questo studio affronta tale problema empiricamente. In particolare, cercando di analizzare se i cittadini, partecipando alla deliberazione si trasformano in cittadini non solo più informati ma anche capaci di riconoscere ed accettare come legittime la pluralità di visioni esistenti nella società, cioè i cittadini caratterizzati da enlarged mentality, si esamina un caso di studio specifico rappresentato da Deliberative Polling svolto a Torino nel marzo 2007. I dati utilizzati in questa ricerca provengono dai questionari sottoposti ad un campione rappresentativo della popolazione di Torino che ha partecipato al Deliberative Polling. All'inizio e alla fine del trattamento sperimentale tutti i partecipanti hanno compilato il questionario identico, sui due temi oggetto dell'esperimento che riguardavano la realizzazione del collegamento ferroviario Torino-Lione e il riconoscimento del diritto di voto nelle elezioni locali per i cittadini non europei. ; Sistemi Sociali, Organizzazione e Analisi delle Politiche Pubbliche ; democrazia deliberativa partecipazione dei cittadini ; open

Objective. The purpose is to discuss the role that mediation of information can have in the context of Game Theory, which focuses refers to the concept of coopetition. It presents some aspects that can be pertinent for organizations to suit the reality of the current market, focusing on the mediation of information from the perspective of Game Theory. Method. It presents a theoretical rescue of game theory with regard to sharing of information and knowledge, and of the mediation and appropriation of information. Results. After the theoretical reviews, it was possible to approach the applicability of Game Theory in the context of mediation of information and information appropriation, in order to demonstrate the potential benefits of this union. It is concluded that mediation can not only be used in conjunction with the Theory of Games, but also significantly contribute to your application in a full and beneficial way for the parties involved.
