This work asks questions on the relationship between innovative collective actors, such as the 'new social movements' and the political institutions of representative democracy starting from an underlying hypothesis: the idea that civil society is the main source of political legitimation of liberal democracy. More precisely, what this monograph reflects on is the capacity of the social movements to concretely test alternative forms of democracy. The aim of the contemporary movements is to augment the fundamental values of the "democratic revolution", namely the principles of freedom and equality. They constantly lead to conflict and social antagonism: indeed new conflicts and new antagonisms arise every time that the movements implement radical experiences of democracy in the multiple and different spheres of social life. Only by accepting and setting value by these alternative democratic practices and experiences – and this is the author of this work's thesis – may democratic ideals be revived in contemporary society.

The unceasing change that science and technology have imposed on civil society brings into question fundamental issues such as birth, health, death, together with the 'legal instruments' designed for the self-determination. Not only the individual is affected by this tumultuous process but also the family institution, as the main place where the self exercises its personality. In this third volume of Verso un diritto europeo per la bioetica ("Towards a European bioethics law") the focus of the contributions by various authors (jurists, doctors, bioethicists) is centred on topics such as: responsible parenthood and artificial insemination, anticipatory profiles taken on by health and related protection needs, articulation of family models and redefinition of the parenting project. All of this is declined in the logic of Biolaw, which is an autonomous discipline but also an investigation and a working method for those who intend to approach the so-called biotechnological cases.
This book contains the proceedings of the conference held on 11 and 12 October 2004 in the Aula Magna of the University of Florence, in collaboration with the Fondazione Spadolini. The aim of the conference was to delineate the profiles of a series of emblematic figures, representative of the presence and activities of illustrious teachers from the University of Florence in local and national institutions and in civil society. The proceedings are conceived to act as permanent evidence of the close links between the University and the Institutions and of the major impact of the work of so many lecturers from the University of Florence in the recent history of Italian institutions. - Il volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno tenutosi nei giorni 11 e 12 ottobre 2004 presso l'Aula Magna dell'Università degli Studi di Firenze in collaborazione con la Fondazione Spadolini.
