The volume contains the proceedings of the conference on the subject of relational ontology, which involved a group of scholars of classical German philosophy with the aim of explaining the reasons, drawing inspiration and categories from the ideal and conceptual constellation of that age of culture. The idea from which they make the contributions is that for relational ontology we can understand a theory on the structure of reality (onto-logic), attentive to the development of the explanatory and normative potential of the category of reciprocity. The contributions thus define a path that, starting from Kant and the question of a unity and duplicity of the ego, passing through the consideration of the Fichtian relational ontology and the idea of a constitution of identity responding to the appeal from the other (on this theme a dialogue Ricoeur / Fichte is also staged), it touches on the notion of natural law of Schelling, to arrive at the Hegelian construction of an ontology and logic of the relationship, which can be found in the very notion of civil society, and finally to reading in a 'materialistic' key of Kantian transcendental idealism, in relation to the notion of reciprocal action. Il volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno sul tema dell’ontologia relazionale che ha coinvolto un gruppo di studiosi della filosofia classica tedesca con l’intento di enuclearne i motivi, traendo spunti e categorie dalla costellazione ideale e concettuale di quella età di cultura. L’idea da cui muovono i contributi è che per ontologia relazionale si possa intendere una teoria sulla struttura della realtà (onto-logia), attenta allo svolgimento del potenziale esplicativo e normativo della categoria della reciprocità. I contributi definiscono così un percorso che, a partire da Kant e dalla questione di una unità e duplicità dell’io, e passando per la considerazione della ontologia fichtiana della relazione e dell’idea di una costituzione dell’identità rispondente all’appello dell’altro (su questo tema viene anche inscenato un dialogo Ricoeur/Fichte), tocca la nozione di diritto naturale di Schelling, per arrivare infine alla costruzione hegeliana di un’ontologia e logica della relazione rinvenibile nella stessa nozione di società civile, così come alla lettura in chiave ‘materialistica’ dell’idealismo trascendentale kantiano in rapporto alla nozione di azione reciproca.

What reasons do we have to be moral, and are these reasons more compelling than the reasons we have to pursue non-moral projects? Ever since the Sophists first raised this question, it has been a focal point of debate. Why be Moral? is a collection of new essays on this fundamental philosophical problem, written by an international team of leading scholars in the field.

Public debates tend to see social inequality as resulting from individual decisions people make, for instance with respect to their education or lifestyle. Solutions are often sought in supporting individuals to make better choices. This neglects the importance of social groups and communities in determining individual outcomes. A moral perspective on social inequality questions the fairness of insisting on individual responsibilities, when members of some groups systematically receive fewer opportunities than others. The essays in this book have been prepared by experts from different disciplines, ranging from philosophy to engineering, and from economics to epidemiology. On the basis of recent scientific insights, World of Difference examines how group memberships impact on individual outcomes in four key domains: health, education and work, migration, and the environment. This offers a new moral perspective on social inequality, which policy makers tend to neglect.

Nesta obra, Juliana realiza um estudo sólido sobre o problema da educação do desejo em Aristóteles, que pode ser ilustrado com a seguinte pergunta: como é possível educar uma parte em nós que não é racional e que, portanto, não compreenderia as boas razões para buscar ou evitar algo? Se o desejo se direciona naturalmente para o que é prazeroso ao invés de seguir a razão, como seria possível ensiná-lo, uma vez que ele não é capaz de racionar e compreender argumentos? A autora divide sua investigação em duas partes: a primeira sobre a natureza do prazer, e a segunda sobre a relação do desejo com o prazer e a razão. Com isso, ela busca compreender como o desejo pode ser persuadido pela razão de modo a não se deixar conduzir apenas pelo que parece ser bom por ser prazeroso.
