Restricted Philanthropic Gifts
Restricted philanthropic gifts are becoming more common, yet their legal characterisation is unsettled. Moreover, other than from anecdotal evidence, it is unclear how charities treat such gifts in practice. This article investigates the potential legal characterisations of restricted gifts and identifies the charitable trust as a commonly preferred construction by the courts. It then examines original empirical interview evidence from charities …
AI, big data, and the future of consent
Predictive analytics and governance
In an era of global sanitary, economic and ecological crisis, beliefs in the predictive power of artificial intelligence (AI) progressively penetrate the legal and political spheres, in search of new ways to anticipate and govern the future. In this context, it is critical to understand the idiosyncratic nature of the interplay between governance and algorithmic logics of prediction. This contribution discusses how the association between governa…
Legitimising a ‘zombie idea’
The impact of ‘bad’ science on judicial decision-making is a thorny aspect of the relationship between science and law. This study employs doctrinal and empirical analysis to explore two Italian judgments that asserted a causal link between childhood vaccines and autism. Using a combination of actor–network theory and legal pragmatism, we uncovered a network of actors and institutions internal and external to the legal system enabling these impac…
Inaction, under-reaction action and incapacity
This article explores why governments do not respond to public compliance problems in a timely manner with appropriate instruments, and the consequences of their failure to do so. Utilising a case study of Italian vaccination policy, the article considers counterfactuals and the challenges of governing health policy in an age of disinformation. It counterposes two methods of governing vaccination compliance: discipline , which uses public institu…

Augustine’s appreciation of the Septuagint in light of his semiotic theory
The article locates the first phase of the exchange of letters between Augustine and Jerome in the context of the Augustinian literary production of that period. Scholars tend to consider separately the two problems raised by Augustine in Letter 28 to Jerome, namely the criticism of Jerome’s interpretation of Galatians 2:14 and the claim of the value of the Septuagint compared to Jerome’s from Hebrew. In reality, for Augustine the two arguments a…

Eusebius on Constantine and Nicaea
This paper discusses Eusebius’ account of the Council of Nicaea in the Vita Constantini. The scarce attention devoted by Eusebius to the theological matters debated at Nicaea must not be intended as an attempt to cover up his own involvement in Arianism; on the contrary, Eusebius shares completely Constantine’s view according to which highly controversial issues must be discussed only within restricted intellectual and ecclesiastical elites, with…
Migrations of the Antichrist
The paper shows the main steps of the spreading of the Antichrist within the European religious culture and, in a second time, within the Americas. Created by the pens of Irenaeus and Hyppolitus, in the following centuries the eschatological figure of the Antichrist has become a powerful polemical tool for religious and ecclesiastical propaganda. In the 12th century, Joachim of Fiore operated a decisive change by locating the final events no more…
Hadrian and the Christians
The Second Century occupies a central place in the development of ancient Christianity. The aim of the book is to examine how in the cultural, social, and religious efflorescence of the Second Century, to be witnessed in phenomena such as the Second Sophistic, Christianity found a peculiar way of integrating into the more general transformation of the Empire and how this allowed the emerging religion to establish and flourish in Graeco-Roman soci…
