Sebastiano Maffettone (1948) is University Professor and Dean of Political Science at Luiss ‘G. Carli’ University of Rome, where he teaches Political Philosophy and Theories of Globalization. He has taught in several Italian universities (Turin, Palermo, Naples and Rome) as well as International universities (Harvard, Columbia, Boston College, Tufts University, Paris, Delhi, University of Pennsylvania to mention a few). Maffettone graduated summa cum laude from the University of Naples in 1970, and he completed his graduate studies in social philosophy LSE in 1976, under the supervision of philosophers such as Karl Popper and Amartya K. Sen. ==Early Work== In the late ‘70s, Maffettone translated into Italian ''A Theory of Justice'', the work of the American philosopher John Rawls, whose influence defined the focus of Maffettone’s philosophical approach. Rawls’s liberal perspective and the liberal approach on social and political issues became the milestone of his lifelong research. Committed to bringing Rawls’s innovative thought to Europe, Maffettone begun to be widely known for his active participation in the academic life, earning the merit of having introduced important scientific novelties, especially in the Italian cultural debate. Besides his growing academic production, Maffettone started to contribute to the public debate through collaborations with major Italian newspapers such as Corriere della Sera, Il Mattino, Il Messaggero, Il Sole24ore and magazines such as Panorama, L’Espresso, and Reset. For his commitment in the current public debate, Maffettone is considered a public intellectual. He has also founded and edited philosophy journals (''Notizie di Politeia'' and ''Filosofia e questioni pubbliche'') and research centers (Centro per la Ricerca e lo Studio dei Diritti Umani and Center for Ethics and Global Politics), published scholarly articles on different subjects, and contributed to the public debate on various cultural issues thanks to a wide network of international relationships, participation in seminars, workshops and conferences in Italy and abroad. One of Maffettone’s contributions to the Italian academy probably is the creation of the Società italiana di filosofia politica (the Italian Society of Political Philosophy). Under his presidency, the society became a point of reference for the Italian political philosophers, and the political life of the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sebastiano Maffettone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
