In contemporary normative political theory, an important debate centers around the potentially morally problematic nature of private property rights. Our main research problem explores these rights through their potential link to coercion, particularly in the context of market offers. This discourse divides liberal egalitarians, who argue that such rights may engender power imbalances and…
What are, as citizens, our political and moral duties in unjust democracies? The project proposes to answer this fundamental question by mobilizing the theoretical-normative debate around the concept of civil disobedience as a way of articulating the relationship between imperfect democracies and social injustices. Corresponding to our duties of obedience to just laws, this research will …
With reference to the thought of John Rawls, the project seeks to outline a research about the Kantian constructivism, also called moral constructivism, in contemporary normative theory, with special attention to the task of clarifying how the constructivist approach developed by him, by characterizing a particular conception of the person and making this conception a decisive procedure i…

Closely related to John Rawls' idea of an overlapping consensus, what this view tries to show is that liberal requirements to religion are not too demanding as to fail to respec…
The project proposes to articulate and defend an alternative justificatory argument for rights associated with distributive principles in a democratic society. Different from common theories on the field - the interest-based model and the status-based model - the project carries out a third moral ground for rights: the model based on mutual respect between equals. The project has two main…
What do we owe to each other, as citizens of a democratic society, in promoting and protecting the health of the population? This main issue will be split into two further issues. The first is the issue of moral importance and special policy that health would have/possess. The second is the likely consequence of prioritising health care provision and other health resources compared to oth…
