Ragioni di un'illusione Autori: Antonino Ventura Abstract: L’articolo affronta la questione della possibilità di una «teoria del tutto», ossia di una teoria scientifica coerente che descriva ogni fenomeno fisico e permetta un’effettiva comprensione delle strutture e delle dinamiche dell’universo. Anzitutto si mostra che una teoria fisica fondamentale comporta inevitabilmente limiti epistemici insuperabili. Poi vengono prospettate questioni sulla struttura e l’evoluzione del cosmo destinate a restare scientificamente irrisolvibili e sono indicate le ragioni che rendono insostenibile un rigido determinismo ontologico. Si chiarisce quindi come, senza metodi e ragionamenti adeguati, il concetto di esistenza sia scientificamente impenetrabile, per cui una teoria del tutto non potrebbe dare del mondo naturale un fondamento e una spiegazione. In conclusione, emerge la vanità della ricerca di un sapere assoluto, il che però non solo non spegne l’anelito per la conoscenza, ma lo alimenta disponendo l’animo alla contemplazione.

Although prior research has extensively documented the importance of parental communication and modeling, the psychological mechanisms motivating parents to intentionally engage in financial education remain insufficiently explored. This study examines the role of Parental Financial Education Self-Efficacy (PFE- SE), defined as parents' perceived capability to convey economic and financial knowledge to their children, as a key antecedent of educational intentions. Data were collected through an online survey administered to 500 Italian parents of children aged 6 to 14 years. Measures included PFE-SE, parents' educational intentions, parental beliefs about children's financial competence, self-evaluated financial skills, confidence in financial technologies, and financial literacy level. Structural Equation Modeling was employed to test a mediation model, and multigroup analyses were conducted to examine differences by gender. Results indicated that PFE-SE was the strongest and only direct predictor of parents' educational intentions. Financial literacy and parental beliefs about children's competence were associated with educational intentions exclusively through their positive effects on PFE-SE. Moreover, multigroup analyses revealed that while PFE-SE predicted educational intentions for both sons and daughters, parental beliefs about the child's competence exerted an additional direct effect only for daughters. These findings underscore the central role of PFE-SE in financial education and suggest that gendered expectations may influence family financial socialization processes. Interventions aimed at supporting parents as financial educators should therefore prioritize strengthening educational self-efficacy alongside financial knowledge, with particular attention to reducing gender-based disparities.

This study investigates whether governance bundles always enhance sustainability performance or whether their coexistence can generate institutional crowding. This paper investigates how different governance mechanisms, internal sustainability leadership and external sustainability affiliations, affect corporate sustainability performance. Although both approaches are increasingly adopted by firms to address sustainability challenges, their individual and joint effects remain unclear. The research employs a longitudinal quantitative design based on panel data of European listed companies over a fourteen-year period. The results show that both internal sustainability leadership and external affiliations independently enhance corporate sustainability performance. However, their combination does not always yield additive benefits. Instead, the coexistence of the two mechanisms may lead to institutional crowding, a condition in which overlapping governance practices routinize sustainability initiatives and reduce the strategic influence of sustainability leaders. The findings suggest that firms should carefully design their governance architectures to ensure alignment between internal leadership and external affiliations. Without such integration, overlapping mechanisms risk diluting rather than reinforcing sustainability outcomes. The paper introduces the concept of institutional crowding to explain why multiple governance practices may not always be complementary. By conceptualizing sustainability leadership and affiliations as part of broader governance bundles, the study advances theoretical understanding of how firms organize for sustainability and offers actionable insights for designing effective governance systems.
