Here I pursue a deconstructive reading of astrobiology, the emerging science dedicated to a double quest: solving the mystery of life's origin and discovering life beyond Earth. Astrobiology, I argue, is organized as a response to the aporetic formulation assumed by the origin of life in modern molecular biology, where (as Derrida's argues in Life Death) it becomes the origin of textuality. Because all Earth life shares a single genetic code, astrobiologists are seeking a second; hoping that a sort of (...) multi-planetary comparative genomics may reveal the secret to life's origin. But the aporia repeats in the figure of the biosignature, the trace of life. (shrink)

Dal silenzio-assenso al subappalto, dagli acquisti di beni e servizi informatici alla transizione digitale e alle infrastrutture di telecomunicazione, passando per la nuova Cilas e dalle misure ambientali ed energetiche (cui è dedicato un inserto staccabile), la guida del Sole - In funzione della fondamentale accelerazione attuativa del PNRR - dettaglia tutte le novità del Dl Semplificazioni bis e quelle di recente introdotte in materia di rapporto di lavoro dai due decreti Sostegni e dal Green pass allargato (Dl 127/2021).

Se muestra la necesidad de replantear la unidad teórico-práctica de la concepción aristotélica, desde la "crisis" actual del sentido de la existencia humana, atestiguada por el pensamiento posmoderno. Concepción especulativa hegeliana: éste es un hito que permite diferenciar entre modernidad y contemporaneidad, limitando el alcance de la crítica posmoderna. La realización especulativa de la libertad del espíritu en su autonomos y en su autos-arché es planteada como la nueva formulación de la "vida virtuosa" y de la unidad intrínseca entre theoria (...) y praxis en el pensamiento aristotélico.

A compilation of lectures by the liberal thinker Armando P. Ribas, which reflect the political philosophy in his historical, ethical, political and economic analysis. Dr. Ribas exposes the correct axiological order, thus demonstrating that the economy is merely consequential and dependent on ethics, politics, and the legal system derived from them.

The concept of “self-realization” plays a central role in philosophy, since it summarizes the idea that a good life is a flourishing life, that is, an existence in which a person makes the best of what she is. A long tradition has understood this in terms of actualizing one’s potential or fulfilling one’s highest and most worthy aspirations. The aim of this paper is to analyze Hegel’s Logic and Philosophy of Right, in order to show that they outline an alternative (...) and valuable account of self-realization that conceives of human flourishing as tied to the flourishing of the world.

It is argued that epistemological naturalism is the result of a holistic thesis plus a high valuation of empirical science. Epistemological naturalism criticizes the sceptic for entertaining unjustified global doubts and naturalism tries to avoid scepticism by taking for granted as non-problema..
