Beschreibung
Italian philosophy is flourishing, as the international recognition of what is known as “Italian thought” attests. But what is it that makes Italian philosophy so revered and studied abroad? Is there a common thread that unites the key figures of Italian philosophy, despite their thematic differences, making it possible to identify a continuous line from Dante to Vico, from Machiavelli to Gramsci, without necessarily implying a unified national tradition? And what does it mean to rethink this tradition? The aim of this essay is to examine the reasons for the growing success of Italian philosophy worldwide, highlighting the characteristics that, according to some of its most important interpreters, such as Spaventa, Gentile, Garin and Esposito, make it unique and original.
