Abstract: the analysis of concepts on democracy developed by Jean-Luc Nancy allows us to understand some aspects of the complexity of the Israeli reality both at a political and social level. In particular, democracy – disconnected from any divine legitimizing principle – and its constitutive and necessary element of coexistence of the constituent power are confronted with the historical, ideological and juridical presuppositions of the State of Israel, also highlighting the hope of a changing reality.

Abstract: an attempt is made to critically put St. Augustine’s anthropological thought on the basis of an interesting economic-political provocation: in the essay The passions and interests, by Albert O. Hirschman, Augustine is attributed the authorship of an extremely negative conception of human passions. With the help of the important studies conducted by Nello Cipriani, we want to highlight, on the one hand, the methodological error committed by Hirschman and, on the other, to identify the theoretical principles underlying Augustinian anthropology and, specifically, to his conception of the passions. Finally, we will try to identify possible research paths around the theme of power (potestas) in the philosophical reflection of Saint Augustine.
