Authors: Spielthenner, Georg
Abstract: My primary aim in this essay is to clarify the notion of a moral reason. To accomplish this,
I criticise in the first section the main conceptions of moral reasons. In the second and
third section, I explain my account of moral reasons, arguing that moral reasons are a kind
of social reasons, and illustrate it by examples. Although the concept of a moral reason is
central to our moral thinking; it has received scant attention in the philosophical literature.
Furthermore, it is a very unclear notion and causes confusions in ethical debates. It has always
been an objective of analytic moral philosophy to clarify perplexing notions, and this
paper attempts to contribute to this goal.

Authors: Menga, Ferdinando G.
Abstract: Every order lies on the claim or pretension to give itself as an accomplished realm, i.e. as a
closed scene which is capable to give shape, orientation and sense to the totality of
elements embraced by it. Yet, from the same operation of ordering, a paradox soon arises,
in that no order can avoid its contingent genealogy, that means: it cannot avoid the fact that,
in enclosing and including something, it must simultaneously exclude something else,
which, therefore, can always challenge and threaten its stability or total “delimitation”. In
this sense, that which is excluded can be seen as an alien element, which structurally
prevents order from a definite closure and thus keeps it in a permanent (historical and nondialectisable)
movement.
Now, what I would like to convey in my following reflections is that this dynamics of
impossible closure of order, given to a non-appropriable alienness, is exactly the one
operative in the realms of translation and tragedy, so that, once we carefully investigate
these realms, we may dare to affirm that saying that orders are unclosed scenes is as much
true as to say that they are constantly “in translation”, always “in tragedy”.

Rawls
Authors: Marrone, Pierpaolo
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to focus on the role of fairness within an apparently secondary
passage of Rawls’ A Theory of Justice, in order to show that it is necessary to the impartial
construction of perfect procedural justice.
