1. Nonviolence as impure praxis : reconstructing the concept with Aldo Capitini

Abstract

This thesis aims to ‘reconstruct’ the concept of nonviolence, offering a new unifying and pluralistic definition, which rejects recent worrying uses of the term, and is able to deal with the crisis of democracy and the construction of a post-secular society. Currently nonviolence is split in two between principled and pragmatic nonviolence. This division has been successful, but it is now a problem: it divides means and ends, politics and morality, religion and politics. In order to find a way out we will turn to the Italian philosopher Aldo Capitini. He interpreted nonviolence as a tension, a praxis of liberation from the chains of reality and openness to the existent. This approach includes a pragmatic dimension, which is a logic reinterpreting current practices and inventing new ones to build up via facti a new society (omnicracy); and a principled dimension, which is a craft of integrating reality with values, reaching its peak in the connection with everybody in an action of value (compresence). This approach offers actions of protest-to-project to overcome the division between means and ends; a political approach between ‘realism and serenity’ to overcome the division between politics and morality; an open religion which can work at the centre of society and politics. Finally, we will extend Capitini’s reflection claiming that nonviolence as praxis is a non-systematic revolutionary approach aiming at freedom and plurality. We will add that this praxis is impure, because made of less than perfect actions performed in a very imperfect environment by imperfect human beings. Reconceiving nonviolence as impure praxis will allow us to reunite principled and pragmatic nonviolence, reinterpreting the former as actualisation of a public principle and the latter as a phronesis. This interpretation will offer an interesting form of transformative realism, which enriches via facti any democratic order with life, and show the way to overcome the secular divisions towards a post-secular society centred on the Assisi presumption.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic witnessed extreme forms of biopolitics, as well as the urgency to reconsider our relationship with the planet. Although biopolitics draws attention to the technologies of domination by public authorities, we cast the concepts of bios and politics in the wider framework of nonviolence. In this framework, bios is the set of practices (praxis) of ordinary citizens. And politics is power created by harm reduction, or actions in daily life that testimony the desire not to harm others or the planet. We leverage nonviolence at three levels, scaling up from the individual to social behaviour and to the planet. The first level concerns nonviolence as self-sufferance and as praxis to claim back the sovereignty of the body. In the second level, nonviolence is collective mobilization – building social capital, self-governance, and solidarity. The third level provides the vision of a diverse ecological citizenship with a sustainable relationship between human beings and the planet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

9. Diritto alla scienza e principio di precauzione

Author

BALDOLI, Roberto and RADAELLI, Claudio M.

Abstract

Come si produce un vaccino? Perché il procedimento richiede molto tempo? Chi ne può, o deve, usufruire? Cosa dobbiamo studiare per controllare il diffondersi di malattie? Come possiamo aiutare l’agricoltura ad affrontare i cambiamenti climatici? Quali sono le terapie più efficaci per la salute mentale? Così san tutt3 nasce per iniziativa dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni con contributi di giurist3, scienziat3, ricercator3, espert3 e politolog3 per dare forma al diritto umano alla scienza attraverso le sue implicazioni pratiche. Dalla sperimentazione di farmaci, alla salute sessuale e riproduttiva, a quella mentale, alla libera condivisione di studi, ricerche e risultati, il volume descrive gli elementi del diritto alla e della scienza fornendo “istruzioni” su come riconoscere questo diritto nella vita di tutti i giorni e vederlo riconosciuto da leggi, politiche, tribunali e corti. Con una introduzione di Chiara Valerio, Così san tutt3 è uno strumento valido per comprendere al meglio come mettere la scienza al servizio del progresso

14. Foundations of Regulatory Choice: Precaution, Innovation...and Nonviolence?

Abstract

Two foundations of regulatory choice, precaution and innovation, co-exist in the political system of the European Union (EU). At the conceptual level the two foundations are complementary, and are both endorsed by the EU institutions, albeit in different ways and with different legal status. In the real-life of EU policymaking processes, however, precaution and innovation often become the terrain of polarised views anchored to technocratic or populist positions that erode trust in EU governance. We propose a way forward to this state of play. Instead of seeing the two foundations as opposite, we explore their dyadic relationship. We show that a conversation between the two is possible via an original reformulation of precaution and innovation. The reconciliation of precaution and innovation, we argue, is effective only in a context of social trust about the reconciled definitions. We propose the analytical and normative framework of nonviolence as seal of social trust. Nonviolence can assist the EU and its citizens in the path towards innovation that is socially responsible, future-proof and accountable. It can enhance precaution as internalised commitment of decision-makers as well as scientific and social communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

15. La noviolencia como liberación y apertura en el pensamiento de Aldo Capitini

Author

Baldoli, Roberto and Baldoli, Roberto

Abstract

Este artículo intenta presentar la idea de noviolencia del filósofo Italiano Aldo Capitini. Él descubre la noviolencia de Gandhi en los años 30. La noviolencia para Capitini es una praxis de liberación de la necesidad y crueldad de la naturaleza, y también la apertura al existente. La noviolencia integra la realidad con acciones de apertura a todos, creando una realidad diferente, que Capitini llama ‘realidad de todos’. La noviolencia entra en la religión y la política. En cuanto a la religión, desarrolla el concepto de compresenza, que cambia la idea de fe, es la base para las actividades del profeta y quiere un cambio en la estructura de las religiones, proponiendo una diferente idea de comandos y diferentes modelos de acciones. La noviolencia cambia también la política. Capitini ha propuesto la teoría de las dos fases del poder. La primera fase es la de ‘poder sin gobierno’, donde el pueblo aprende a tener mucho poder. Este trabajo conduce a una segunda fase, llamada por Capitini omnicracia, el poder de todos, donde las instituciones no serán necesarias.

17. SHAPING A COLLABORATION: THE SPITZENKANDIDATEN PROCEDURE AS A TRANSPARENT BEST PRACTICE

Author

Abstract

Presentation on department page: http://www.uia.no/no/portaler/om_universitetet/oekonomi_og_samfunnsvitenskap/statsvitenskap_og_ledelsesfag/ forskning_isl/isl_working_papers_series ABSTRACT: The spitzenkandidaten procedure has been described as a coup d’état of the parliament against the council; a counter-revolution of the S&D against the PPE; something short of an illegal move against the treaties. This paper addresses these concerns in the following way. Firstly, a description of the origins and the development of the spitzenkandidaten procedure will be provided. A closer look at the process leading to this procedure will help to better understand its nature. The new procedure for the election of the president is neither a coup d’état of the parliament, nor a counter-revolution of the socialists; it is not opposed to the treaties, and it is not irreversible. To the contrary, the spitzenkandidaten procedure enhances article 17(7). It represents the institutionalisation of a ‘best practice’, which was partially already there in the past, and it can still be overcome in extreme cases.

19. Overthrowing secrecy : the Spitzenkandidaten experiment and a new chance for a European party system

Abstract

The Spitzenkandidaten experiment has been at the centre of a heated debate for several months now, prompting much speculation as to the changes it will bring to the balance of power between the EU institutions. But the real coup d'état has been directed against the old process of appointing the European Commission President behind closed doors. Although the new procedure entails "a number of political, institutional and 'thus' constitutional ambiguities", according to the authors of this commentary, it has rendered that process more transparent, if not more democratic--and will almost certainly endure to the next European elections in 2019 and beyond. As a result, they conclude that the new procedure is likely to trigger important changes in Europe's political parties and elections.
