An uncertain right

What does "legitimate defense" really mean? Is it a natural principle, a citizen's right, or a delicate balance entrusted to the law? Starting from questions that traverse philosophy, law, and current events, Roberto Paradisi proposes a rigorous reflection on one of the oldest and most controversial institutions of our legal system.

From the classical roots of Antigone and Cicero to the most recent developments in Italian criminal law, the meeting retraces the history of a concept that continues to challenge civil conscience and the relationship between the individual and the State.

At the center of the debate are not only the cases that daily fuel the news but also an increasingly relevant question: what happens when the principle of legitimate defense is invoked by States responding to an armed aggression? With the author of An Uncertain Right, a criminal lawyer and scholar of legal philosophy, the discussion develops beyond ideological contrasts, offering tools to understand a complex topic in its legal, ethical, and political implications.

An appointment dedicated to those who wish to go beyond slogans to rediscover the profound meaning of justice and responsibility in a democratic society.
