Il bene politico e il concetto politico: considerazioni a partire da P. Cesaroni, La vita dei concetti. Hegel, Bachelard, Canguilhem

Taking Pierpaolo Cesaroni’s book La vita dei concetti as a starting point, this paper addresses the problem of the political concept within the framework of an epistemological inquiry into the epistemic status of political science. After engaging with the major theoretical implications of Cesaroni’s work, whose method and design are assumed as key to examining the subject at issue, the paper proposes a schematic analysis of the general structure of the specifically political end. In the conclusive remarks, I suggest taking Aristotle’s political science seriously in order to build some preliminary guidelines towards the scientific comprehension of political teleology in terms of the constitutional good.
