Marsilius of Padua at the Intersection of Ancient and Medieval Traditions of Political Thought
This book focuses on the reception of classical political ideas in the political thought of the fourteenth-century Italian writer Marsilius of Padua. Vasileios Syros provides a novel cross-cultural perspective on Marsilius’s theory and breaks fresh ground by exploring linkages between his ideas and the medieval Muslim, Jewish, and Byzantine traditions. Syros investigates Marsilius’s application of medical metaphors in his discussion of the causes of civil strife and the desirable political organization. He also demonstrates how Marsilius’s demarcation between ethics and politics and his use of examples from Greek mythology foreshadow early modern political debates (involving such prominent political authors as Niccolò Machiavelli and Paolo Sarpi) about the political dimension of religion, church-state relations, and the emergence and decline of the state.
Reforming the Church
Reforming the Church analyses ministries, participatory structures (e.g., pastoral councils, synods, etc.), pastoral institutions (e.g., parishes, etc.), the role of the laity and especially women and couples in the Church, the formation programs in seminaries and the decision-making and decision-taking models, among other topics where concrete reforms are needed. The book covers six perspectives/parts: The synodal form of church; scripture and tradition—the consensus ecclesiae; pathways to renewed ministries; coresponsibility versus clericalism; reforming structures; and the future—an ongoing synodal spirituality.
Synodality
Synodality envisions a new way of proceeding in the Church: toward a coresponsible and participatory Church for the third millennium. It is an ecclesial model that calls for the recognition of laity as full subjects in the Church.

Quale Hobbes?
Quando è stato pubblicato per la prima volta, questo libro cercava di indagare in che misura le contrapposte letture dei testi di Thomas Hobbes fossero determinate dalle scelte metodologiche e culturali degli interpreti e in che misura, invece, vi concorresse lo stesso Hobbes con le proprie ambiguità. L’analisi toccava alcuni temi fondamentali dell’antropologia e della politica hobbesiana. Rilevava che nelle pagine di Hobbes vive una umanità inquieta tra paure, conquiste e ambivalenze. Scorgeva, comunque, nel mitico Leviatano, accanto ad una struttura monolitica, anche forme più articolate, perfino suscettibili di alcuni gradi di partecipazione. Constatando nel filosofo inglese una c...
