Attraverso l'analisi di un contenzioso che vede per protagonisti una donna, Umbellina, e la sua famiglia, il presente articolo mostra la condizione giuridica femminile nello Stato Pontificio di metà Ottocento per quanto concerne la dote. La donna dello Stato Pontificio è in posizione giuridicamente ed economicamente subalterna e, alla morte del padre, ha diritto esclusivamente a una dote "congrua" sull'asse ereditario, in caso non sia ancora sposata; se già sposata e dotata, invece, non le spettano ulteriori beni mobili o immobili. Tuttavia, le donne dell'Ottocento, come dimostra il caso descritto nel presente lavoro, non sembrano più accettare passivamente come in passato la loro condizione e non esitano a far valere con forza i loro diritti, sfidando non solo la famiglia ma la società stessa, che ha ancora in sé le peculiarità dell'Ancien Régime, è ancora statica, basata sull'immobilismo, su un sistema gerarchico e sull'obbedienza.

This study investigates how the biblical text addresses the issue of judicial corruption. For a regulatory system that self-conceives itself as divinely inspired, a phenomenon such as bribery poses a particular problem. By affecting the impartiality of judgment, the bribe system favors the rich at the expense of the poorer classes. An analysis of the literary texts that address the issue of corruption allows us to identify two different ideological orientations in the Bible. The first orientation is mostly found in the legal sections and, to some extent, in the prophetic invectives and conceives of corruption as a social and legal problem. The second orientation concerns the so-called 'Writings,' or the last section of the Hebrew canon. In these texts the tendency to theologize the problem of justice emerges strongly, consequently linking the issue of corruption to that of sin religiously understood.

Nell’articolo proponiamo di rileggere i brani del Vangelo riguardanti la figura di Giuseppe di Nazareth in prospettiva esistenziale, cercando di comprendere l’aspetto umano non solo della situazione in cui si è trovato, ma anche delle sue scelte. Nell’articolo evidenziamo tre possibili forme di dilemmi umani di Giuseppe. Dapprima viene esaminato il dilemma religioso che si traduce in una difficile scelta tra le esigenze della Legge e l’intenzione di salvare la reputazione di Maria. In secondo luogo viene esaminato il dilemma sociale che riguarda la reputazione di Giuseppe per il fatto che, in un certo senso, si assume la responsabilità della gravidanza di Maria. Infine viene esaminato il dilemma esistenziale che riguarda non solo l’accettazione di una diversa forma di paternità (per adozione), ma anche la fatica di scoprire nel quotidiano un modo di essere padre per Gesù, che è consapevole di essere Figlio di Dio.

The aim of this article is to explore phenomenologically how the 'inside' (psychical) and 'outside' (the other and/or society) interweave since it appears that sometimes those of us who favour diversity may also inadvertently shut it down. Phenomenology appears to open more easily onto what we don't want to know about in our everyday lives, or a turning away which impedes diversity. If we cannot hear our own thoughts that come to us from the 'inside', then how can we move towards diversity on the 'outside'. The tensions between turning away and turning towards leads into a Freudian look at conscience and aggression, and Lacan's idea of the ego being the seat of identification and misrecognition. Freud's observation of an 'original' aggression towards the other appears especially important. It is argued that this aggression always fragments the movement towards diversity. Two factors appear to mediate this movement, namely a 'negative' exclusion, and a 'positive' ameliorative 'law'. Two fictional accounts are given from everyday life reflecting societal and psychical aggression, including its 'privacy' or sensual meanings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The language of "nature" in relation to moral law is contested in many quarters today. A universal and objective reference for moral experience is rejected, preferring to refer to the canons of utilitarianism and emotionalism. However, this does not mean that even today we do not encounter authors who - in different disciplines and forms - reaffirm this language, at least as a dimension not to be discarded a priori. We briefly discuss this with a psychotherapist (C. Ternynck), a sociologist (S. Belardinelli) and a philosopher (Ch. Taylor) who seriously pose the question. In the light of these analyses, an attempt is made to initiate a new understanding of natural law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I begin by exploring the Freudian and Lacanian theories of masculinity and how they revalorise the role and law of the father and his patriarchal power. I perform a criticism of these theories by using Castoriadis' emphasis on the importance of brotherly co-operation in the formation of community. I then move on to critically examine how Lacanian theorists have excluded considerations of class in their account of the origins of the Law and its application which prohibits an adequate redressing of social injustice. I conclude by providing a brief account of the life of my father as a working-class man and how I performed a similar exclusion of class oppression from my theoretical and practical considerations as a way of creating distance from him. This account is an attempt to reconnect with a man who was not only my father, but also my 'brother in suffering'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the interventions of some italian Bishops, produced from 2016 to 2022, on the question of the office of male sponsor/female sponsor of Baptism and Confirmation sacraments. The author, therefore, examines the canonical nature of episcopal interventions: they constitute an exception to the universal law contained in the Code of canon law given by a general decree, which has the nature of a particular territorial law. Finally, the need for a common practice for the various Italian Churches is emphasized and suggests using the occasion of the synodal consultation called by Pope Francis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 4 November 1925 and 31 October 1926, Tito Zaniboni, Violet Gibson, Gino Lucetti, and Anteo Zamboni all tried and failed to kill Benito Mussolini. The significance of these attempts on Mussolini's life and their relationship to the establishment of Fascism has gone overlooked as much scholarship focuses almost exclusively on the consequences of socialist deputy Giacomo Matteotti's murder in June 1924. In this article, I analyse the impact that these assassination attempts had on Mussolini's construction of the Fascist state. The article asks two main questions: What role did these assassins, and the state of emergency that their acts generated, play in the establishment of Fascist control? And how did they contribute to Mussolini's cult status and his consecration as a 'man of providence'? I argue that the failed assassination attempts were instrumental in allowing the Fascist regime to create a state of emergency and to capitalize on a fabricated demand for crisis management. These attempts fundamentally structured the conditions for the regime's consolidation of power, including a vast expansion of laws that dismantled the liberal state and established the Fascist dictatorship.

The article offers an analytical Presentation of the Document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission: What is Man? (Ps 8:5). An Itinerary of Biblical Anthropology (30-IX-2019), exposing some aspects of the Theological Message of Gen 1–3. After having presented the context, the purpose and the articulation of the Document, two exemplary reasons for the anthropological message of Gen 1–3 are underlined: a) ’ådåm and its relations; b) In search of the face (Gen 3:8). Finally, three perspectives emerging from reflection on the Document are highlighted. The First Perspective is given by the relationship between anthropology and Christology. The Second Perspective is part of the broad interpretation of the human story in the light of the history of the covenant with God. The Third Perspective concerns the dialectic between creatural Weakness and the life-giving power of Divine Action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Questo testo esplora il concetto di legge come ordine immanente elaborato da Whitehead, sostenendo che esso possa essere usato per coprire l’intero campo semantico denotato dalla parola ‘legge’, e in particolare la sua accezione giuridica. Dopo aver illustrato le caratteristiche che lo rendono più plausibile e desiderabile dell’opposta concezione della legge come un’imposizione trascendente, la legge sarà definita come l’espressione del modo d’esistenza degli individui all’interno del loro ambiente. Questo concetto sarà poi testato come chiave per comprendere il legame tra vita e diritto, e mostrare l’inadeguatezza delle riflessioni biopolitiche di Foucault e Agamben: se la legge è un ordine immanente, allora la vita dev’essere identica alla propria normatività inerente. Infine, anche attraverso la filosofia del diritto di Deleuze, si delineeranno le caratteristiche fondamentali di una pratica immanente del diritto, una “giurisprudenza speculativa” che reintegri il diritto la legge e la vita all’immanenza, come proposta per una filosofia pratica coerente con la cosmologia processuale di Whitehead.

This paper aims to take stock of the latest Italian translation of Thomas Aquinas's Summa theologiae by Fernando Fiorentino. The author's analysis is developed on two different and intimately linked levels: linguistic (semantic) and philosophical (theoretical). First of all, by means of the analysis of Part I-II, question 94, articles 2 and 4, the author shows the faithfulness of the translation to the original Latin text: this is especially evident when Fiorentino renders in Italian the Latin syntagm lex naturae. Moreover, the examination of the translation of these Aquinas's texts allows to bring to light the Aristotelian approach that, according to Flannery, is behind Thomas's thought.

Esiste continuità tra la “Legge” dell’Antico Testamento (la Tôrâ) e il Diritto canonico propriamente detto? Il tema riguarda espressamente – e mette alla prova – la “qualità” della Teologia del Diritto canonico (prima che la Morale) e può trovare un supporto e indirizzo non ambigui o ideologici nella riflessione intorno alla “purità rituale”, cardine dell’osservanza giudaica, apertamente contestata da Gesù stesso e dalla Chiesa apostolica (Luca e Paolo), e non recepita nei primi quattro secoli di vita della Chiesa, dopo la decisione di At 15 sulla non-circoncisione. D’altra parte: poiché il Diritto canonico regola soltanto la vita della Comunità dei discepoli di Cristo, le norme giudaiche (che regolano la vita del Popolo d’Israele) non hanno in esso alcun rilievo. L’analisi delle ricorrenze di “Legge” nei Vangeli, insieme ad alcuni concetti chiave del Nuovo Testamento ( nuovo, ombra-realtà, pienezza, compimento) non lasciano dubbi in merito. ¿Hay continuidad entre la “Ley” del Antiguo Testamento (la Tôrâ) y el Derecho canónico propiamente dicho? El tema concierne expresamente – y pone a prueba – la “calidad” de la Teología del Derecho canónico (antes que la Moral) y puede encontrar un soporte y dirección no ambiguos o ideológicos en la reflexión sobre la “pureza ritual”, bisagra de la observancia judaica, abiertamente cuestionada por el mismo Jesús y por la Iglesia apostólica, (Luca y Pablo), y no transpuesta en los primeros cuatro siglos de vida de la Iglesia, después de la decisión de Hch 15 sobre la no-circuncisión. Por otro lado: ya que el Derecho canónico regula solamente la vida de la Comunidad de los discípulos de Cristo, las normas judaicas (que regulan la vida del Pueblo de Israel) no tienen ningún relieve en el mismo. El análisis de las repeticiones de “Ley” en los Evangelios, junto con unos conceptos claves del Nuevo Testamento ( nuevo, sombra-realidad, plenitud, cumplimiento) no dejan lugar a duda al respecto.

In NE Book V Aristotle recognizes the condition required for the implementation of a particular kind of justice, namely, political justice (politikon dikaion): that condition is a form of government (politeia). Central to the point of Aristotle’s comparising politeia and political justice is the intelligibility of political justice (and of politeia): political justice becomes intelligible in that it departs from absolute justice, in the same way as forms of government deviate from the ideal one i.e. the best form.

Montesquieu used the concept of “law” to indicate, in a broad sense, the multifarious concatenations of causes that are intertwined in the historical determination of human societies. The French thinker distinguished the “laws” in plurime typologies, that he related to the cultural, political, moral, legal, religious and climatic variables, whose incidence is stratified into the systemic composition of each civilization, through the commixture of reciprocal interdependencies that forge the “general spirit” of nations. Furthermore, Montesquieu combined his peculiar methodological approach with the principles of “jusnaturalism”, in fact took for granted the existence of “natural laws”, among which he included the instinct for “sociability”, that laid as the primary foundation of all community aggregates. In this regard, Montesquieu directed harsh criticisms at Hobbes, whereas revealed evident affinities with Grotius, Pufendorf and Locke, although without adhering to the “social contract theory”.

The philosophical-juridical debate on the state of exception, between Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin, focuses on an anomaly that has often been related to language (by Benjamin himself, but also by Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben). What link is there between language and anomy? A genealogy of the state of exception, if it must necessarily confront the threshold of language, must then also consider a further threshold (suggested by Schmitt): the threshold of writing. Without a focus on the conflict between orality (agraphos nomos) and literacy (written nomos), the genesis of the state of exception and its historical precedents would not be understood.

The paper reviews the process that led to the promulgation of Law 164 in 1982 ("Rules for rectification of sex") and the jurisprudential developments that followed. The current Italian legislation does not adequately protect the rights of all persons who do not unambiguously recognize themselves in a single gender. Despite the numerous jurisprudential interventions that, over the years, extended the decisional liberties of trans people, above all with regard to the possibility of choosing whether or not to undergo surgery, our legal system is still stuck on the assumption that each person should be identified only with one and only gender.

The purpose of this study is to present the current legal situation surrounding euthanasia and its surrogates, physician-assisted suicide and assisted suicide, restricting it to the states where these practices were legally recognized. The order of presentation is based on geographic criteria; thus, we will present and analyze states from the American continent: the United States, Canada, and Colombia; from Europe: the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland and Germany. The legal presence of euthanasia around the world is growing exponentially. This ever-increasing tendency shows us that euthanasia is evolving into the form of an adaptable practice and an example for other states. We can assert that euthanasia has started its liberalization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A quindici anni dall’istituzione della Giornata della memoria, la Regione Emilia-Romagna ha deliberato una legge per valorizzare le molteplici realtà culturali e associative del territorio regionale che si occupano di ricerca e divulgazione della storia del XX secolo. Attraverso un’intervista all’assessore Massimo Mezzetti, cerchiamo di spiegare a chi si rivolge la legge, qual è il suo spirito e per quali obiettivi è stata promossa.

This note presents the core of the course of exegesis and biblical theology of the Ancient Testament, offered during the first term of the year 2016-2017 to obtain a Licentiate of Theology at the Theological Faculty of Emilia-Romagna. The course tried to show a path including that objective turning point of the Bible text (Es 12) where the narration is interrupted by the first formal prescription: the Torah of Pesach. The Law is thus put at the same time before History (Pesach follows the Torah of Pesach) and inside History. In the light of this dynamics a general survey of the Jewish Bible-Old Testament is made as regards both the fate of the Torah of Pesah and the great lines of biblical theology that this mutual condition of Law and History innervates: election of Israel, covenant, relationship between Israel and non-Jews, Messianic outcome. Over this threshold one could enter the New Testament, in which, however, one can glimpse only a Pauline perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through the analysis of judicial proceedings held at the State Archive of Pesaro, this article examines the micro-history of the Stramigioli-Pucci family from Pesaro (in the Papal States), focusing on the period from 1848 to 1855. The social and economic position of this lower middle-class family rapidly worsened over this time: the debts of thepaterfamiliasand the death of his son pushed the family into relative poverty and, at the same time, engendered conflict at an interpersonal level. The frequent appeals of family members to the courts reveal how incomplete and overlapping the legal framework of the Papal States was, especially regarding family law and dowries. More particularly, these cases also describe the stories of two women, one married and the other unmarried (zitella), who were conscious of their rights and did not hesitate to go to a court to enforce them, and who were not afraid to challenge the authority of thepaterfamilias. This historical case thus presents a picture quite different from the ideal of the submissive woman as depicted in nineteenth-century literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims at describing an alternative way to the Foucaldian escape of sovereignty. According to Foucault the only chance to reach this goal is to “go beyond” this concept as well as of linked concepts such as “law” and “institution”. On the one hand this vision is affected by the erroneous identification of law with the order of the sovereign, while the original private dimension of law is totally neglected. On the other hand, Foucault cannot assume that it is also possible to delegitimize sovereignty with the very tools of law, namely in a trial. The article deals with the case of the «mutilated sovereignty» of the Italian State which has been acknowledged by a court in 2006. The government has been compensated for the damages suffered by the State because of the illegal activity in a region. The sovereignty has been “estimated”. But estimating something unquantifiable like sovereignty is destroying its symbolic force.

The Apostle Paul's attitude toward the Law falls within a universe of thought that clearly originated from the events of Easter. This contribution explains at first the reasons of Paul's criticism of the Law, then it examines the corresponding concept of freedom and ends up with the paradox of the restraints this freedom requires. Paul's resizing the role of Law has a Christological ground: the gap left by the Torah is fully and strongly filled by Jesus Christ, who has released the Christian from the slavery of being subjected to the Law and to the worldly elements. Christian freedom comes before obligation and can be positively defined as an acquired good that touches the ontological being of each person who is baptised, producing a new dynamic man controlled by the inner principle of God's Spirit. Far from being the abrogation of all laws, Christian freedom is paradoxically subject, however, to only one restraint that can be by no means eliminated: love. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Analects is one of the great works of traditional Chinese culture, and its translation has been an important part of cultural exchange in the past hundred years. The English versions of the Analects have reached more than 40, including that of James Legge's and Ku Hungming's. James Legge was a missionary and a famous British Sinologist; Ku Hungming was a famous Chinese scholar who got educated in the west. Their versions represent the highest level at that time. Legge is known for his rigorous responsibility to the original text, "faithful to the original". His version is of a scholar translation style, which can be summed up as "truthfully, lengthy and dull." Ku Hungming was renowned at home and abroad for his unique and weird style in Qing Dynasty. He received Western education and was deeply influenced by Western Romanticism. Most of his articles are written in English, even the native English speakers feel surprised by his extraordinary English proficiency. Ku also made great achievements in imputing Chinese classics to the west. In order to make the content easily acceptable to the Westerners, he tried his best to avoid Chinese names and places, and in order to evoke the original idea of the readers, he widely cited the western allusions and famous sayings. So Ku's translations are widely spread in Europe. This paper focuses mainly on three parts. First, the translation differences of the two versions are investigated from the language to the overall translation techniques. Then, the causes of differences are analyzed, which include cultural background, Sinology skills, purposes and audience awareness. Finally, the way to translate Chinese classics like The Analects is briefly summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
