This paper offers a brief reflection on the central role of episteme in the redefinition of the democratic paradigm, as argued by Paolo Bodini in his work. First, I examine the distinction between episteme and morality, with particular attention to the tension between factual knowledge and doxa. Second, I address the concept of rationality as articulated in the text, situating it within the concrete dynamics that govern political reasoning and decision-making, which increasingly appear to reflect a widespread attitude of indifference

Abstract

This paper offers a brief reflection on the central role of episteme in the redefinition of the democratic paradigm, as argued by Paolo Bodini in his work. First, I examine the distinction between episteme and morality, with particular attention to the tension between factual knowledge and doxa. Second, I address the concept of rationality as articulated in the text, situating it within the concrete dynamics that govern political reasoning and decision-making, which increasingly appear to reflect a widespread attitude of indifference
