The normal practice when you make direct quotes, is the reference page of the edition one is using. And has been for a good time. In reality, this is not a system very suitable. First in relation to the texts that have multiple editions (what corresponds to page 200 of my edition in another edition?). […]
Imperialism in the Social Sciences, or of the peculiar situation of the Political Science
The economy imposed to the other disciplines of the social sciences, the economic imperialism: the idea that the rational actor that is the foundation of their theories is the best explanation of the behavior. Sociology, in turn, had done the same with its own version of imperialism: sociology as the science basis of the study […]
Haydn and his quartets
I’ve had pretty much abandoned this poor blog this past month-but between work, thesis, preparation of presentation for the Congress of the WINGS, and in general the life (and the fact that my poor notebook has been stolen from my property, oh, that’s going to be you notebook far away from home) haven’t left me […]
Precarious, and Entrepreneurship in Own-Account Workers
Spinoza and the Apology of the Common Life

If one wanted, as it is sometimes useful to work on methodology, to reduce and to simplify to the maximum the things, well you can say that the qualitative analysis is […]
A sketch of an ethics borgeana
To speak of an ethics in the work of Jorge Luis Borges is, in some sense, be exposed clearly to the accusation of trying a without sense, an absurd (almost write a story borgeano). For who is explicitly stated to be skeptical, and that on the basis of skepticism, defending its adherence to the Conservative […]
The possibility of Knowledge in the European Philosophy of the Early modern
It is perhaps one of the signs that, in the field of thought we are still under the aegis of modern thought (and with this we are referring in particular to his early period, before the NINETEENTH century) is that it is still common to encounter the idea that the fundamental questions are mainly epistemological: […]
The Utility prior to the Utilitarianism
Conventionally the birth of utilitarianism is attributed to Bentham. But arguments from nature utilitarian are very previous. It is possible to find in Hobbes, Spinoza and Hume (not counting many other authors less well known today). In fact, the same Kant to describe the considerations material to the empirical on morale, for better criticizing them […]
