Soggettività normativa. Saggi su identità, alterità e comunicazione

The ethical and political debate of our time still appears marked by the so called "clash of civilizations". The thesis, expressed by S.P. Huntington in his 1996 discussed volume, and the acute polemics that are followed from it have contributed to reopen the controversial problem around a correct relationship between the individual liberty and the normative dimension of human conduct projecting it on the sceneries opened by the globalization phenomena. In this frame, the necessity to consider inseparable in moral reflection both the terms identity-otherness finds a renewed confirmation. With it, also the opportunity to assemble on the dynamics of personality the fire of the philosophical attention reveals itself to be conclusive. From here the attempt by the Author 'to test' some possible theoretical proposals expressed by authoritative philosophical voices of XXth century through the radically contingent and historical approach of Kierkegaard to the problem of personality.
