Risorse del limite come categoria normativa

2024, Annali del Centro studi Filosofici di Gallarate

ABSTRACT My reflection focuses on the normative meaning of the category of “limit”. Drawing limits and boundaries is a very archetypical act. Respect of limits is the fundamental moral imperative in ancient Greek philosophy. From a legal point of view, the notion plays a crucial role in several senses: to distinguish the law from other forms of social ordering; to capture the inner relationship between law and justice; to define the bounds of political power through law; and to voice the claim for a new notion of sovereignty embodying its own limit. KEYWORDS: Ethics of Limit; Human Finitude; Limits of Law.
