His work on the Hegelians - Feuerbach, Bauer, Stirner and Zeller - is based on a comparison between their doctrines and Hegel’s philosophy. His political philosophy is the subject of studies by Cesa during the 1970s, when he nonetheless also started to work on the political thinking of Schelling, Fichte and the Romantics. The core of his work is a comparison of their positions on single relevant aspects, taking also into account Kant as their common antecedent. From the middle of the 1970s Cesa began to question the terms "idealism" and "transcendental", in which he saw the key for investigating the entire theoretical philosophy of that age. His last investigations concern Hegel’s philosophy of religion and of art.

From Received Pronunciation to Estuary English: a shift from diastratic variation

The male protagonist, phonetician Professor Higgins, as a supporter of the Received Pronunciation as the highest expression of the English language, runs into Eliza Doolittle, a Covent Garden flower girl, who has no idea of what RP is and represents, on the contrary, a non standard speaker of the 'worst rank', a Cockney. In the whole play the 'fight' between standard and non standard accents recurs, and the social stigmatization to which Cockney is subject fills it. 9 The notions of overt and covert prestige and stigma will be examined in § 1.2.3. This quite pessimistic point of view by Wells could refer to either what he named Mainstream RP or Estuary Englishthat Wells does not mention in his Accents of Englishwhich has repeatedly been referred to as the new RP. What Wells observed and described was a continuum sloping from Received Pronunciation to Cockney, passing through London Regional Standard and Popular London English. As it is now well-established among scholars as well as laymen that between Received Pronunciation and either Popular London English or Cockney many subvarieties can be identifiedsome of which have been deeply studied and fully describedthese varieties have been categorised in order to catch the prospective changes of Received Pronunciation and the presumable similarities among them. This is the reason why Wells (1982) distinguished U-RP (Upper-Crust RP), Mainstream RP and Adoptive RP, Gimson (1989:88) referred to these varieties as Conservative RP, General RP and Advanced RP, and Cruttenden (2001) listed Refined RP, General RP and Regional RP. To this former tripartite distinction, Wells (1982) added a further variety which he defined Near-RP The term Near-RP refers to any accent which, while not falling within the definition of RP, nevertheless includes very little in the way of regionalisms which would enable the provenance of the speaker to be localized within England (Wells 1982:297).

La tenzone nel nome di Kant: gli esordi sistematici di Fichte e di Schelling

Il risultato \ue8, da una parte, una considerazione ravvicinata del rispettivo atteggiamento dei due filosofi nei confronti della posizione kantiana e, dall'altro, una messa in luce delle analogie e soprattutto delle differenze nell'approccio di Fichte e in quello di Schelling al problema della "forma" della filosofia
