Aldo Bodrato's thought is not easily comprehensible in a specific subject-matter research: he studied philosophy but dealt in theology during all his life with a great competence. His word is free, sometimes pungent, but this is because he is passionate and his work can be only understand considering his faith, lived as a political and social engagement. The narrative turn, in which he is experimenter of that theological field always more theorized than praticed still today, is realised in three stories collections, where acts many biblical, historical or fictional characters (neverthless historically founded, as he himself wished to remark), who in different ways embody rebellion typical in those hungry of justice, so near to the author' sensitivity. This meas that we find prophetic voices who criticized and unmasked the various forms under which human power concealed and variously embodied in characters living on the threshold or outside the human community.

What correspondence from Dante's Commedia and De Monarchia to Kant's theories on universal peace? If we discover a sommo poeta who was also a greatest theologian (although not exclusively so), in the identity between faith and life experienced by the Florentine author and transmitted in his works, there appears a conception of the world (general), where the faith of the individual (particular) is reflected. If a theological structure, in Dante's there is a precursor of the palingenetic experience of the inner journey, also in Kant the analysis of the concept of good leads to a sort of innate (and aprioristic) divine conception. Thus, in this similitude, we discover the analogy between the two thinkers, sealed in the hope and the wish for a single kingdom/state that allows all human kind to live as peaceful brothers.

The essay provides a phenomenological approach to sociology of emotions. It does so through the introduction of notions such as emotional intentionality, common emotional world and typical emotion, which all refer to Alfred Schutz's sociological vocabulary. This perspective wishes to contribute to a more general theory of comprehension by addressing emotions from a cognitive standpoint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fernando Pessoa was not a Dantist; nevertheless, the Comedy and Dante appear several times in his work. Pessoa’s texts do not contain direct allusions to Dante’s work but Dante serves the purpose to exemplify ideas and even help define critical categories. Dante is quoted in a single poetic text in which Pessoa wishes to underline the pre-eminence of literature over life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper traces the emergence of the anthropological question in the philosophy of Heinrich Rickert by examining the role played by anthropological philosophy in the latter developments of Rickert's system of thought. In pursuing this goal, we point to a set of works written in the 1930s as the turning point in Rickert's inquiry, where the inner articulation of his philosophical system was redefined by designating a broad space for the anthropological issues. By focusing on such issues this paper also wishes to lay out a thorough introduction to the first Italian translation of Rickert's essay Thesen zum System der Philosophie and to a part of the unpublished notes the philosopher used in delivering the 1932 lectures on Sozialphilosophie. According to the herein hermeneutic thesis, these works -- together -- are indeed the locus where we should recognise the earliest emergence of the anthropological question in Rickert's philosophy.
