La duplice riflessività e la formazione di sé

Abstract

The paper is concerned with Fanciullacci’s book about a new understanding of moral philosophy, described, following Aristotle, as philosophy of human experience. The author argues that such a perspective should underline two important elements: the so called double reflexivity and the education of self. Using the expression double reflexivity, the goal is to draw attention to the reflexivity of both the practical reason (phronesis) of the subject and the critical investigation of practical philosophy. It is also assumed that we can educate ourselves through the development of stable character traits (virtues and vices).
