of Mario Romano, are outlined the academic career as criminal law professor for over forty years and
some remarkable scholarly as well as personal traits of the honoured, which contributed to the overall
enrichment he has brought to the university life and to the work of many fellow scholars. A special

the most relevant contributions given by professor Mario Romano to the Criminal Science, fi rst of
all his Commentario sistematico del codice penale (Systematic commentary on the penal code), a
unique work. Finally, the paper talks about some topics which have been developed inside the work

Criminal Law at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. Among the others, also emerge
considerations about the research method in criminal law and punishment.
KEY WORDS: Mario Romano, criminal law, punishment.

ABSTRACT: The work describes the contacts of Mario Romano with the German criminal science and
analyses the most relevant aspects of his scientifi c thought. After describing the standpoint of the
Author with respect to the fi nalistic theory of action, the function of criminal law and the role of adhoc-
laws are investigated.
KEY WORDS: fundamental principles of criminal law, fi nalistic theory of action, protection of legal interests,
purpose of punishment, preventive detention in Germany

ABSTRACT: After describing the personality of the scholar, we can identify the essential characters of
his scientifi c thought. Freed from metaphysical elements, criminal law is legitimated, and it should
always be based, upon social consensus. Another fundamental basis is the centrality of the human
being both as the individual engaging in a criminal conduct and the protected victim of a crime.
KEY WORDS: criminal law, punishment, social consensus, personalism (humanism in criminal law).

entitled Profi li penalistici del confl itto di interesse dell’amministratore di società per azioni

ABSTRACT: The complex nature of the contemporary western societies, characterized by the strict interlacing
between economic and technological factors, puts in question some «classical» legal categories
and, at the same time, their conceptual horizons (for instance the notions of «legal order» and
«system»). Hence, using the «globalization» as a case-study, you can read these new sceneries by a
new theoretical perspective and, more precisely, a «reticular model». It is based on the interpretation
of the social contexts by the concept of «net» (network society or web society), which is essentially
«atopical», «horizontal», «ahierarchical», «aformal» and «self-increasing». Consequently, it’s possible
to interpret the political-legal «subjects» and institutions as «knots», which are fundamentally:
«functional» (instrumental), «neutral», «polar», and «replaceable». From a philosophical-legal point
of view, this new conceptual scheme is to be understood in a postmodern horizon, for which the traditional
categories of «totality» and «generalization» make room, in some way, to the new horizon
of «effectivity».
Abstract: Compared to the chaotic irrationality of guilt, retribution aims to be reason itself, measure,
order (cosmos). But – as I try to show in this paper – if retribution claims to be essentially rational,
it is not necessarily intelligent, and that for three reasons at least. First, because of the radical impossibility
of measuring guilt. Second, because a sanction cannot restore the order cancelling the disorder
produced by guilt. Third, because the other order of human relations paradoxically requires a certain
disorder.

– 4. Conclusioni: ordine cosmico e ordine sociale.
Abstract: There are many different conceptions of human in genetics: human could be considered as an
object, a social enhancement plan or a social consumer plan. The lack of a shared model calls for a
meditation over transitional mankind. The continuous modifi cation allows us to recognize humanity
in the difference between a rational image of self and what (or who) this icon creates. This is the
motionless point between self-construction and self-transcending, both endless.
KEY WORDS: post-human, trans-human, genetics, human enhancement, bio-conservatives, bio-innovators.
SOMMARIO: 1. Introduzione. – 2. L’umano inteso come oggetto: i bioconservatori. – 3. L’umano come
progetto di stato (il postumano). – 4. Il postumano come progetto di consumo. I bioinnovatori. – 5.

ABSTRACT: In this paper is analysed the volume of Amartya Sen The Idea of Justice. Here are considered
and discussed the methodological foundations and the goals proposed by Sen, establishing a conception
of justice that must actually emerge in a society through the public debate, and the implications
above all terms of reduction of the most resounding injustices, still existing in many societies. In this
analysis one gives evidence to the conceptual ancestors probably in contradiction in the Utilitarianism
of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, and some theoretical diffi culties that seem emerge in the
Senian elaboration.
KEY WORDS: justice, criteria of rationality in individual and social choice, utopia, democracy.
SOMMARIO: 1. The Idea of Justice come punto fermo della ricerca di Amartya Sen sul tema della giustizia
nei termini più generali. – 2. La questione di cosa sia da considerare giusto e cosa ingiusto.
– 3. Da dove viene l’idea di giustizia?. – 4. Il tema delle concezioni di giustizia sul tappeto dal
1971, dopo A Theory of Justice di John Rawls. – 5. Se sia defi nibile come giusto qualsiasi modo
di procedere che consenta di raggiungere esiti buoni. – 6. Come riteniamo di poter affermare che
ognuno, sia nelle scelte individuali che nella partecipazione alle scelte collettive, tenda a realizzare
ciò che ritiene più positivo dal proprio punto di vista. – 7. L’idea di Sen, per un giudizio di valore
di fondo, che aiutare chi si trovi in diffi coltà sia con azioni individuali che collettive sia buono,
civile, meritorio, e quindi giusto. – 8. Il fondamento del «capability approach». – 9. La questione
della libertà nelle decisioni. – 10. Se il bene che una persona sceglie sia giudicabile con adeguato
fondamento fuori di lei. – 11. La concezione di Jeremy Bentham, che ritiene che soltanto il singolo,
concreto individuo sia abilitato a giudicare in ogni scelta che cosa sia il bene per lui. – 12. La visione
di John Stuart Mill nella concezione del bene. – 13. Come di fatto Sen assuma come fondativi per
la propria idea di giustizia, in particolare giustizia distributiva, sia principi propri dell’elaborazione
di Bentham, sia criteri milliani. – 14. La tesi, da assumere come un assioma, che ogni persona in
ogni momento sceglie ciò che ritiene per lei più positivo, o meno negativo. – 15. Nesso tra scelta
individuale e collettiva e necessità di tener conto delle conseguenze nell’approccio utilitaristico. –

ABSTRACT: In international law, there is no such thing as an offi cially accepted defi nition of a national
minority. The lack of a clear defi nition not only refl ects the well-known combination of objective
criteria to decide what national minorities are, but also it is dependent on the subjective will by the
minorities themselves to be recognized as such. In order to understand these problems of defi nition,
the present article attempts to draw a large picture of their historical legal protection by considering
that each national minority identity has its own genetic character in the different modern state
nation-building policies.
KEY WORDS: national minorities, national identity, history of minority rights, modern State Nation,
building policies.

ABSTRACT: Willem Van Rossum took part in the proceedings of Canon Law codifi cation of 1917, as a
member of the Commission of Consultores and of the Cardinal’s Commission, and he was chosen to
represent the Dutch episcopate. As Consultor, thanks to his theological competence, ha was commissioned
by Mons. Gasparri to prepare four Vota about confi rmation, extreme unction and marriage;

Archivio Segreto Vaticano documents consultation. Many of the proposed canons were included in the
Codex Juris Canonici 1917.
