Abstract: This paper follows the intuition that “gift” and “love”, in the social dimensions and dynamics through which they manifest themselves, are co-involved. It offers a comparative analysis – on the one hand – of the sociological thought concerning “gift”, developed by scholars of the Mouvement Anti-utilitariste das Sciences Sociales (MAUSS) – especially A. Caillé (1998, 2008) and J. T. Godbout […]

Abstract: A period of history is coming to an end. At the height of the postmodern era, there is a new social awareness. According to Giuseppe Maria Zanghí, this dimension of communion in society is part of being human, and is developing over time. Antonio Maria Baggio sees this re-awakening of the social sense in “civil society”. The present crisis can […]

Abstract: Although the Aristotelian idea of the polis is limited by some features of its historical context (slavery, men-women relationships), it can still be very relevant and productive, as seen by the way it was revived in the work of Christian thinker Jacques Maritain. Based on the relational nature of human persons, it emphasises the polis as a special kind of […]

Abstract: Review. According to Pasquale Ferrara the political form of the present is structurally inclined to terror. To make the idea, he deliberately uses an extreme word: deinocracy. The Author explains how the State security conditions put in place based on fear may generate what Ferrara calls a securitarian democracy. This is very different from the conditions leading to democratic safety, […]

Abstract: Review. In his book A Theory of Justice published in 1971, J. Rawls associates his difference principle with the concept of fraternity, drawing attention to the revolutionary triplet of 1789, “Liberty, equality, fraternity”. Through the difference principle Rawls attempts to think rationally about fraternity, seeing it as something intrinsic to political processes, rather than “external” to them. The author traces […]
