Current discussions on practical reason often overlook the contribution that virtue ethics can offer to that topic. Virtue ethics might seem unrelated to practical reason, since it ensued from Elizabeth Anscombe’s emphasis on the first-personal perspective in the explanation of action and focuses on the character of the agent, rather than on reason. This paper suggests that the focus on character is not incompatible with the acknowledgement of the relevance of practical reason in action, but, quite the contrary, offers a privileged standpoint to understand how reason can operate in practice.

A. Koyré
Since the beginning of my research I have been convinced that there exists a unity of human thought, especially in its higher forms. It seems impossible to me to keep separate, in watertight compartments, the history of philosophical thought and that of religious thought, in which the former is always immersed, be it to draw inspiration, be it to mount opposition to the latter. This conviction, once transformed into a principle of research, has proven fruitful for the development of medieval and modern thought, even in the case of a philosophy that also seems bereft of religious concerns like Spinoza’s. But one must venture further. I had to quickly convince myself that it was also impossible to underestimate the study of the structure of scientific thought.

Fabio Fossa
The purpose of this essay is to attempt an interpretation of Hans Jonas’s philosophical approach to tradition in terms of an exercise in critical thinking. Although several modern authors have seen in tradition a normalizing and conservative force that either constrains the powers of human reason or prevents new disruptive ideas from thriving, other philosophers have contested this accusation and concurred to sketch the general guidelines of a theory of the critical value of tradition. Commenting on both published and unpublished material, I claim that Jonas’s meditation on the history of western culture belongs to this latter stance. Moving from this thesis, I then analyse some passages of Jonas’s oeuvre where his position concerning the critical potential of tradition is theorised or directly put into practice. In particular, I focus on the essay The Practical Uses of Theory and on an unedited transcription of the 1967 conference Contemporary Problems in Science and Ethics. A Jewish Comment .

Relational facts are best understood by appealing in a most general fashion to o-roles, i.e., ontological counterparts of the thematic roles appealed to in linguistics, such as agent, patient, instrument, theme, source, goal, and the like. Once relatedness is appropriately appreciated and o-roles enter the picture, the way relational facts are represented in first-order logic (FOL) appears inadequate and adjustments are called for. However, applied ontology still typically relies on FOL and on the conception of relations encapsulated in it. Some programmatic ideas are then put forward with the intent of going beyond FOL in this respect and promoting the search for a set of o-roles to be acknowledged in top-level or foundational ontologies.

Robotics is one of the most developing technological field that combines many scientific disciplines and has important social, ethical and economical effects. The philosophical debate on Artificial Intelligence is part of the classical branch of the philosophy of mind and developed interesting results crossing several disciplines (such as psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, neurobiology etc.). Many interesting views moved mostly from Turing challenges about human and machine intelligence. After a general presentation of new trends in the ambit of AI, which try to intend computing as natural and embodied, we present the case of robotics assisted surgery as a very important example of a practice which requires also practical considerations.
