allusione a una qualche forma di olismo del significato. Il principio del contesto esprime, secondo Quine, l’idea che i portatori primari del significato siano gli enunciati; Dummett invece considera questa tesi o priva di senso o un truismo. L’articolo è diviso in tre parti. Nella prima parte, si mostra il modo in cui Quine interpreta questo principio e il perché Dummett consideri assurda questa interpretazione. La seconda parte dell’articolo è dedicata alla spiegazione di quale sia per Dummett l’interpretazione corretta del principio del contesto e si pone particolare attenzione alla sua duplice applicazione, alla nozione di senso e a quella di riferimento. Nella terza parte, si discute la presunta incompatibilità tra il principio del contesto e quello di composizionalità e si giunge alla conclusione che i due principi siano in realtà complementari e che la supposta conflittualità tra di essi sia solo apparente.
injustice in the sense articulated by Miranda Fricker: the fact that ill women
are more exposed than ill men to the experience of not being heard from doctors or health professionals. My aim is to show that epistemic injustice in medical diagnosis constitutes a form of silencing that prevents women from being able to efficiently communicate knowledge to others, and it is related to mechanisms that make doctors fail to recognize female patients as trustworthy and competent with respect to their illness conditions or to readily incorporate their knowledge into decision-making. More precisely, the paper is divided in two parts. In the first part, I present Fricker’s notion of epistemic injustice. In the second, I discus some patient reports of cardiovascular disease as example of testimonial and hermeneutical injustice.

Sukupuolen filosofia kiikuttaa lukijansa keskelle käsitekamppailujen ääntä ja vimmaa mutta pysyttelee itse tyynenä oppaana. Kiihkeän sananvaihdon se korvaa tolkulla ja kohtuulla, kapea-alaisen toitotuksen perusteluilla ja argumenteilla. Pieni mutta painava kirja kuuluu jokaisen sukupuolen filosofisista ongelmista kiinnostuneen käteen.
Can we remedy these forms of injustice? This issue of the Rivista di estetica addresses what needs to change in our knowledge practices; how we can challenge the narrowness of what is understood as philosophical knowledge; how the concept of knowledge should be considered in connection with notions such as trust, reliance, testimony, authority, credibility; how to revisit theways in which we measure quality and ability and what we should do in order to promote diversity and pluralism in knowledge.
does make a woman (or man) a mother (or father)?; Is parenthood a biological or natural relationship? What defines a family? One of the main topics in analytic feminist philosophy is the notion of gender and it is widely held that it is a social constructed concept or category. This issue of Humana.Mente will address these and related questions.
“Philosophy and Medicine”, which took place in Turin in January
2016. The purpose of the workshop, organized by the University of
Turin and the Research Group LabOnt, was to discuss and explore some
of the major views about the relationship between philosophy and medicine,
and the ethical aspects of clinical practice. This volume collects the
contributions of Cristiana Amoretti, Maurizio Balistreri, Francesca Ervas,
Elisabetta Lalumera, Marcello Montibeller, Lucia Morra, Maria Grazia
Rossi, Pietro Salis, and Vera Tripodi, who were speakers at the conference.
The papers are unified by a number of cross-cutting themes and
take their position within the different areas of the current theoretical-
moral debate within the field termed “philosophy of medicine”.
