Oltre il ‘feticismo del codice’: per quale visione dell’identità e della cittadinanza?

The aim of this brief reply to Rengger's paper is to develop a critique of the so-called 'code fetishism' in the moral, social, and political sphere. After a brief analysis of the debate between Charles Taylor and Bernard Williams, I focus, first, on Taylor’s reflections on Ivan Illich's interpretation of the parable of the Good Samaritan. Then, I analyze the challenges that emerge from such interpretation, particularly those concerning identity and citenzship. Finally, I consider some questions about the link between nomolatry and political power.
