Il tema dell'influenza della fratture religiosa nella determinazione delle preferenze politico-elettorali e del confronto interpartitico è stato considerato in misura marginale in molteplici studi sul sistema partitico canadese. Nell'ambito del dibattito dottrinario e politico, la tendenza generale che è prevalsa sinora è stata quella di mettere in risalto, più che altro, le intersecazioni esistenti tra le diversità linguistiche ed etno-culturali con un ordine politico oramai profondamente secolarizzato, in cui la religione riveste un ruolo superficiale e secondario per influenzare le scelte degli elettori.

The aim of this text is to focus the relationship between philosophy and religion starting from the renewed supremacy of religion on the global public scene. The first part is dedicated to an analysis of the relationship between religion, politics and economy in the contemporary age, with particular attention to the new claims of the religious fundamentalism and the hegemonic power of the market economy as the last form of planetary religion. The classical relationship between «faith and knowledge», analyzed by Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger, is at the core of the second part of the text, in order to identify the practical dimension inherent to philosophical knowledge, useful to individuate an active role of philosophy in the contemporary societies.

L'articolo presenta una riflessione sul rapporto tra politica e religione in età moderna che all'interno del dibattito in corso sulle tensioni analizza le dinamichei fra spazi politici, società e individuo negli orientamenti, frutto di un contesto di un dibattito culturale profondamente diverso da quello che ha accompagnato il tramonto del secolo appena trascorso e che consente ora di individuare nuovi percorsi di ricerca. In queste pagine il tema del rapporto fra Politica e religione viene assunto non come una sorta di generica endiadi ma come l'intersecazione fra due campi e modalità di ricerca ben definibili del sapere e della ricerca storica, che si affiancano e delimitano altri temi, c, che pur sono contermini ma che forse sono rimasti meno controversi ed esposti al ri-orientamento storiografico: quello ad esempio del rapporto «religione e politica», che rimane spesso ambito privilegiato degli studi di storia delle religioni; quello del rapporto tra «teologia e politica», rispetto al quale esiste una consolidata tradizione di studi a confine con quelli giuridici, e infine quello del rapporto tra «politica e Chiesa (cattolica)».

Civil religion: uses and misuses of a concept. The analysis of the concept of "civil religion" shows an ambiguity caused by the mix between religion and morality, and religion and politics. The idea behind is the sacralization of politics in order to assure its autonomy from historic religions. Civil religion supporters individuate in this cultural position two positive results: the opening of politics to transcendence and the ethical legitimation of communitarian linkages. The article examines these two aspects, in the light of constitutionalism, human rights and current pluralism. The conclusion is that the concept must be considered misleading.

Il saggio riflette sul rapporto religione-Stato in Argentina. Ripercorre la storia della nazione australe, sin dal primo governo del 1810, rilevando in che misura sia stata influenzata dal modello di modernità di origine francese con riguardo alla conformazione dello Stato-nazione. Analizza il declino del modello separatista e il potenziamento dell'influenza della religione sulla scena politica, considerando in particolare il periodo che va dal 1930 al 1983, con i diversi governi militari, la fase post-dittatoriale e gli anni 2000. ; El presente ensayo se ocupa de la relación religión-Estado en Argentina. Se recorre la historia de la nación austral desde su primer gobierno patrio en 1810 relevando en qué medida fue influenciada por el prototipo de la modernidad de origen francés en lo que respecta a la formación del Estado-nación. El estudio se centra en la caída del modelo separatista y el fortalecimiento de la influencia de la religión en el ámbito político – principalmente en el período que va desde 1930 a 1983 con los distintos gobiernos militares – para luego analizar el período post-dictatorial y los años 2000. ; This essay illustrates the relationship between religion and state in Argentina starting from 1810, i.e. the beginning of Argentina's first government. It then explores to what extent this relationship was influenced by the French modernity prototype with regard to the nation-state formation. The study also focuses on the fall of the separatist model and on the strengthening of the religious influence on politics from 1930 to 1983, under various military governments, during the post-dictatorial period and the year 2000.

Among the main topics discussed by Sarpi scholarship, the question of the Servite's religious attitude is undoubtedly the most popular. No other topic attracted more interest and produced such deep disagreement, especially since the rediscovering of his manuscript Pensieri (whose first trustable edition dates only to 1996). In this essay, I will analyse the most important interpretations of Sarpi's attitude towards religion and theology that have emerged so far. This analysis will open the way for a more direct examination of some of Sarpi's texts that have been used to support the different readings of his thoughts. Finally, I will propose some considerations regarding the possibility to include Sarpi in the history of early modern atheism. ; ABSTRACT Among the main topics discussed by Sarpi scholarship, the question of the Servite's religious attitude is undoubtedly the most popular.

Attraverso il confronto con gli altri monasteri femminili e maschili esistenti in laguna negli stessi secoli, il presente intervento indaga il ruolo rivestito dal cenobio femminile di San Zaccaria all'interno delle vicende politiche, sociali e religiose del dogado veneziano nei secoli cruciali dell'alto medioevo. L'analisi evidenzia da un lato l'esistenza di una chiara scansione cronologica entro la quale la comunità monastica esplica in maniera più o meno incisiva una funzione di rappresentanza dapprima della famiglia dogale poi della città stessa, dall'altro in che misura tale funzione sia determinata da vicende esterne al dogado o da elementi interni al monastero stesso. ; This paper analyses the role played by the female religious community of San Zaccaria in the political, social and religious context of the Venetian Dogado during the Early Middle Ages. On the one hand, by comparing the convent with the other Venetian male and female monasteries, the study clarifies that the community exercised a more or less incisive role in representing first the doge's family, then the entire city, during a specific timeframe. On the other hand, the analysis reveals to what extent the functions the monastery exercised were influenced by events external to the Dogado or by developments within San Zaccaria itself.

The last several decades have witnessed a vibrant discussion about the proper political role of religion in pluralistic liberal democracies. An important part of that discussion has been a dispute about the role that religious and secular reasons properly play in the justification of state coercion. As I understand it, the standard view advocated by the members of that pantheon, and by many others as well, includes the following two claims, namely, that reli-gious reasons cannot play a decisive role in justifying state coercion and that citizens and public officials in a liberal polity should not endorse state coercion that requires decisive re-ligious support. I am skeptical about the standard view's restrictions on religious reasons as a class – restrictions that apply to any and all religious considerations, to religious reasons as such. My main aim in this paper is to motivate skepticism regarding the standard view. I will try to achieve this aim by reflecting on what I take to be the paradigmatic case of state coercion, namely, the use of military violence in war.

There is very little scientific literature that considers the relationship between religions and an integral concept of Sustainable Development, including its three dimensions (social, economic and environmental), as proposed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It was necessary to conduct a study of this kind, with the aim of making visible and show with concrete data, the contribution of religions to the integral sustainability. This paper presents an empirical research in which we intend to make visible the actions performed by religious organizations in Catalonia, that have been contributing to the Sustainable Development. The study is the launching of the Sustainability and Religions Watch. This study about the contribution of religious organizations to the Sustainable Development has been made by a mixed method with two techniques for data collection: firstly, has counted the presence of indicators linked to the priority areas of Sustainable Development, from the analysis of the content of the websites of religious organizations (quantitative analysis). Moreover, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to representatives of religious organizations (qualitative analysis). The study of the contribution of religions to the Sustainable Development opens new doors to interfaith dialogue because it is based on elements that are common between different beliefs. This dialogue is a path that can effectively contribute to peace. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion

The introduction articulates some of the conceptual questions that emerge in investigating women's political thought in early modernity, in Europe and beyond. Four aspects are particularly crucial: the nexus between politics and theology, in the light of the pervasiveness of religion in everyday life and women's intellectual elaboration; the relationship with political power, that women both criticize and legitimate; the challenge they pose to patriarchal authorities who claimed to hold the monopoly of the sacred; and women's entrance into the rising public sphere. Furthermore, the introduction shows the continuities and discontinuities between the Middle Ages and the early modern era with respect to women's political thought and suggests the necessity to rethink traditional periodizations which emphasize breaks more than the different faces of transition. ; L'introduzione articola alcuni nodi concettuali che affiorano nell'indagare il pensiero politico delle donne nella prima modernità, in Europa e non solo. In particolare, si pone l'accento su quattro aspetti principali: il nesso tra politica e teologia, alla luce della pervasività della religione nella vita quotidiana e nell'elaborazione intellettuale; il rapporto simultaneamente di critica e legittimazione del potere politico; la messa in questione delle autorità patriarcali che pretendono di detenere il monopolio del sacro; l'affacciarsi delle donne sulla sfera pubblica nella sua lunga genesi. Inoltre, l'introduzione mostra le continuità e le discontinuità tra medioevo e prima età moderna per quanto concerne il pensiero politico delle donne, suggerendo la necessità di ripensare la tradizionale periodizzazione più attenta alle cesure che alle diverse facce della transizione.

Jürgen Habermas' recent work is focused on the relationship between reason and faith in what he suggest that we should name post-secular society. Habermas argues that traditional religions such as Christianity can have semantic contents very useful to uphold a moral motivation in order to contrast the instrumental reason of the globalized markets. I will try to show that these recent developments of Habermas' theories risk to conflict with some elements of his previous approach. As a consequence, I suggest that we carefully look to the critiques that the catholic theologian J. B. Metz made to Habermas' previous approach. In fact, I argue that Metz's proposal of a "New Political Theology", which is characterized by the concept of anamnestic reason, shows how to overcome, or complete, some limits of the first formulation of the theory of communicative rationality. Nevertheless, Habermas' recent openness on these topics, even if problematic with his previous approach, stimulates to rethink on the relationship between reason and faith, religion and democracy.

La tesi inizia con la presentazione del percorso storico avviato dall'unità d'Italia in materia legislativa per quanto riguarda l'insegnamento della religione cattolica. Viene successivamente presentato il quadro europeo in cui si colloca la legislazione internazionale sui diritti umani, la libertà religiosa e l'insegnamento scolastico della religione. Sono indicati due diversi approcci al fatto religioso, esemplificati dalla scuola laica in Francia e dalla scuola biconfessionale in Germania. Vengono proposti alcuni studi sul ruolo che la sfera religiosa gioca in età infantile; segue poi una breve trattazione riguardo alla legislazione italiana in materia di insegnamento religioso. Infine sono suggerite tre esperienze, personali e non, di tre differenti progetti educativi in materia religiosa, ad esemplificazione e testimonianza di quanto sia importante prevedere nelle comunità educative l'approccio religioso.

We examine the relationship between competition and innovation in an industry where production is polluting and R&D aims to reduce emissions ("green" innovation). We present an n-firm oligopoly where firms compete in quantities and decide their investment in "green" R&D. When environmental taxation is exogenous, aggregate R&D investment always increases with the number of firms in the industry. Next we analyse the case where the emission tax is set endogenously by a regulator (committed or time-consistent) with the aim to maximise social welfare. We show that an inverted-U relationship exists between aggregate R&D and industry size under reasonable conditions, and is driven by the presence of R&D spillovers.

The fortifications that rise around the harbour of Genova are architectural expressions that emphasize and clarify the relationship between man and landscape structure. The defence system intended as a single organic landscaping element is a key feature in the perception of the landscape it occupies. With the study of the geological structure and geomorphological landscape, it is possible to create the basis for an assessment of the characteristics that have influenced the design choices and functional work. The need to convert and valorise these military facilities is an opportunity to deal with studies that take into account the characteristics of the area.
