In the first issue the young Giulio Preti, the enfant terrible of the partiality or local theoreticity, a dialectical connection and comparison Editorial Board, deals precisely with the meaning of the metaphysical with other perspectives and other world-views. For example, in the problem of knowledge. Not quite, since to disassemble the philosophy of Gentile himself, and with him of idealism, actualism, and spiritualism saw destiny as an eternist or quasi-actualists and spiritualists like A.
Spirito, suprahistorical compulsion embodied either in the State or God. It is and G. Saitta, a trenchant critique no scholar of attualismo should more likely it refers to choice, to willing a particular state of affairs miss. The end question the still young Paci then asks choices are made, the risks and responsibilities they entail 62 , the is the following: The Case Against Actualism is to say, in its abstraction. It is important to note that is the year that to conceive of critical thought as unchained to any religion while it represents a peak in the fervor and multitude of interventions on this focused on the freedom of research concerning what matters to all, most crucial of topics.
But at the same time, we will see how the terrain is primed the twenty-first century, must be taken in context, and Remo Cantoni in such a way as to permit, starting in , the explosion of proposals deals with this by recalling insights by an older philosopher, Pantaleo coming from the left. In this sense, these reflections the notion of existence since the mid-thirties. In a article Luigi are very much valid today as well. Both had great influence, the first in introducing the theology The rest of these initial issues take up once again a critique of of crisis, the second by opening up the tensive relation between actualism by Enzo Paci; the attempt to root metaphysics in empiricism individual and thought.
The same year Gabriel Marcel Bertin. Though in Jaspers published the three volumes of meaning, of existence. Being-for-itself cannot exist without, and finds always determined as the function of a partial synthesis, that is, its ontological complement in, being-for-others. And the task is now to link its individuality. From this new theoretical viewpoint, when looking at absolute givenness, which can be either positive or negative, with its the ideas proposed by his precursors on the other side of the Alps, inevitable partiality, with the fact that in its relatedness or sharing it he accepts the call of transcendence not, as in the French, self- cannot express but a side or aspect of itself.
On the same wavelength, transcendence , the role of necessity, and that of contingency. But he also falls into the trap of dualistic thinking: Again, he suggests that there are this tradition by attempting to link it to the teachings of his own maestro, links with Gentile, for example, in the work of Ernesto Grassi. In Gentile and existentialism. In a later collection, Esistenza e persona,35 he clarifies [t]he person is neither a moment or an instrument of cultural the sense of some key terms in view of a new ethic.
He then goes on to prove the limits of being exists indeed as being situated, but the mainspring that gives one-sided approaches based only on objectivism or subjectivism. This is the premise of the illustration are not useful and at any rate do not cover the entire range Pareyson of what he considers the two dominant positions at the time, that of gives to this new conception. He stays clear of the metalanguages that Heidegger and that of Jaspers, so that he can finally submit his own. But since existence whole and the individual [il singolo] is above the species.

In the is quite a characterization, and some of these ideas will go into, and second case, that of Jaspers, the salient trait of existence is its rapport are developed fully, in his general philosophy in the fifties. At this juncture, Abbagnano states: Here, in a nutshell, is the resolution of the anxious act of judgment is validated; in fact, as it will be developed in the post- dilemma of the existential nihilists. The key is to overcome the war years, judgment anchors the critical mind. Philosophy then has a new focus: This is very liberating, formulation in the postwar war period as well, obviously refining and it will become known as a positive existentialism grounded it as new problems arose.
To and pulse of the social world in its broader complexity. As a choice this being for whom Being is a problem there can be an answer, in is possible, then the human agent is further invested with the moral fact there must be some form of response since being is now defined and ethical responsibility of determining its general value, as well as by its indeterminacy.
Ockham, the new physics and the basic principles of metaphysics. Unlike his colleagues, who by and large, with the pole of the relation. So freedom implies choice ultimately because it is the matters. In June of , the journal dedicated a double issue to Hegel possibility of choice, so even if the choice made is bad or limited, there SF 3.
It seems a radical confrontation could not wait any longer, exists implicitly the possibility of recoil and correction. Banfi struggles to see the continued relevance of Hegel by the processes of determining the meaning and value of a given work. Abbagnano develops this years later, in a paper delivered at of intuitions and experience.
There is a way in which Banfi attempts the Italian Philosophical Society in But Paci also struggles to come clean. In the same vein, Giulio Preti, in an attempt to allay the terror before the mysterium For an Anti-authoritarian Philosophy: Many books on the topic were since been lost, maintaining a semblance of regular life and even reviewed, and it appears that the methodological concern is slowly going to work turned out to be a challenge on a day to day basis.
Still, coming to the forefront, and Theory is pushed in the background. In devotion and persistence is the hallmark of the intellectual. Almost in defiance, Banfi down to the actual statements made by the subject in specific contexts. Pastore sees the positive aspects of Hartmann SF 4. In in-depth expositions by Remo Cantoni, Kate Nadler, and Secondo another article, which in translation reads: In a review of a book by Walter del Negro that champions the SF 3. The self-abnegating panorama of the day, with incisive comments on Einstein, Heisenberg, editors of the journal put out another issue, in the spring months of Reichenbach, Planck, Addington, and others SF 3.
This wonderful disclosure is not, and nothing more entails imposing on people the responsibility to however, brought to its fullest consequences—and the reference to abandon their political and moral dogmas and to subject to proof and Plato should have given it away—as he concludes by saying that consequence their most cherished prejudices. The plan is clear: Although he attempts to credit philosophizing with World War. The somewhat long itinerary conducted was made always being prone to idealizing in some guise, something we might necessary by the fact that today the issues and debates treated seem call the inevitability of the action of the theorein SF 5.
The third part shifts the terrain of the discourse: We imported from the science has also added to the general disorientation might call this another example of how the thinker has finally left the in doing critical and historical work. In some quarters there seems court and stepped onto the street. At this juncture Preti veers toward a to be a nonchalance in dipping into the historical bin to draw out critique of capitalism and the void it can create in the ordinary citizen, statements suitable to make a point without concern for contextual followed immediately by the claim that the pursuit of happiness and coherence or some form of methodological consistency.
What is perhaps in order, now that working class and of the people the possibility to master the we have a clearer historical distance from the World War II years, is indispensible theoretical notions required not only to understand a serious rethinking of what at the time were inquiries into the human the reasons of all we say and do, but to apply in all fields with condition tout court. Whereas political discussions had a place in spirit of initiative the politics that best answers the interests of terms of immediate considerations, as philosophers our authors were their class, of the people and of the country… [and] break every trying to gauge a dimension which is all-pervasive, beneath or above attack to the reborn and promising Italian socialist and communist owing to its trans-disciplinary nature more localized and pragmatic movements.
That a philosopher speaks of the meaning of existence and the value of what a human being is or might be years before Hiroshima The call was to a concerted action in the midst of uncertainty, fear, and and Auschwitz means that perhaps, much like some poets, they had general chaos, but the need of theory and method remains. The one perceived that the great bourgeois project was running aground from huge difference, again, considering the situation at hand, the specific an involution of its inner inconsistencies. It has often been remarked context, is that method had become praxis, concrete application, that World War II was the end result of nationalisms exacerbated translation of ideas into immediate facts.
This would be a hallmark beyond their original formulations and reasons for being. Della Volpe,47 more courageously given there was a war going on, held Not just Della Volpe, but Paci in particular attempts to find a common that existentialism is ultimately rooted in romanticism and represents terrain in the postwar years. Nevertheless, we It is understandable why the culture in general, both in Italy and the should not forget that socio-historically existentialism surfaced after rest of Europe, was not ready yet to renounce the entire Enlightenment the other World War, compelling so many to look at the very ontology project, and thus radically question Rousseau, Kant, and Marx as they of the human condition: Despite theatre, the plastic arts, and of course in philosophy.
This the chaos, destruction, and resentment felt in Northern Italy during can be achieved by shifting the focus to the specificity of methods the occupation48 makes it understandable why Palmiro Togliatti, in required to deal with particular aspects of research, with what I call the launching La Rinascita,49 in June of , expresses himself in these regional ontologies of specific forms of knowledge.

Dopo la destituzione di Mussolini ad opera dell'intesa tra i gerarchi e Vittorio Emanuele III e la fine del fascismo, l'arte italiana visse un periodo di incertezza e di profondi cambiamenti, diversamente da quanto era accaduto all'ombra delle istituzioni di regime.
Queste avevano infatti operato, soprattutto nel corso degli anni Trenta, un certo controllo nei confronti della creazione artistica, riuscendo ad imporre una linea di condotta generale anche nel campo culturale, evidentissima per quel che concerne i mezzi di comunicazione quali radio e cinema. In due decenni vennero promossi progetti monumentali, la maggior parte a carattere simbolico e scenografico. Una possibile scritti autobiografici. La di battaglia attraverso medium artistici non comuni. Gli anni progetti pittorici, scultorei e architettonici avviati per propagandare della guerra non fecero che approfondire la loro disillusione verso il il messaggio fascista in Italia e all'estero.
Nel segni inequivocabili di un passato divenuto scomodo. Ogni luogo a funzione pubblica, fosse sede di partito, piazza, Quaranta. Dal punto di vista della storia della scultura una portata storica ingombrante. In particolare delle masse fu la casa del Fascio: Il salone d'onore veniva concepito per accogliere partigiane il fantasma del fascismo. Gli apparati decorativi e monumentali erano concentrati in questo locale, dove la scultura faceva da padrona: Il discorso sulla Fig.
Per e protrattisi per diversi anni a danno delle Case del Fascio; i la sua realizzazione era stato chiamato un artista affermato a livello busti in marmo o pietra vennero distrutti o danneggiati soprattutto accademico ed internazionale, capace di fissare nel bronzo il momento attraverso la defenestrazione. Per quel che concerne le opere in bronzo, preciso in cui Mussolini, entrato trionfalmente nell'impianto sportivo, gli antifascisti ne cancellarono ogni traccia grazie all'ausilio di armi da si accingeva a pronunciare il discorso celebrativo di apertura.
La sua riportarono danni evidenti circoscritti alla zona del volto, di cui i soli collocazione, il gesto del cavaliere e le circostanze della commissione tratti somatici vennero modificati o cancellati. Il marmo fu oggetto di diversi atti di a che fare, a prima vista, con il regime. Come nel caso di Adolfo Wildt gli atti offensivi nel , alla presenza del presidente della Confederazione nazionale nei confronti dell'opera di Dazzi determinarono il giudizio critico professionisti e artisti, Emilio Bodrero. I richiami al fascismo erano successivo sullo stesso autore. La sorte toccata agli artisti collaborazionisti nel dall'architetto Alziro Bergonzo Fig.
La scultura era sorta fu diversa da caso a caso: Ciononostante, corso del Ventennio l'esigenza di farsi portavoci di valori espressivi gli epuratori non riservarono loro alcun trattamento di favore e inediti, aperti al razionalismo e alla pulizia. Appare dunque necessario procedere con cautela orrori del nazi-fascisti.
Il bronzo presentato dall'udinese Mirko rifugiarsi nella sfera del lutto e della sua elaborazione. Resistenza partigiana ad opporsi all'invasore. Per la nuova tipologia del memoriale ai martiri Nazionale rappresentarono un termine di confronto imprescindibile della guerra partigiana, l'artista scelse di ricorrere ad una tipologia per l'arte all'indomani della caduta del regime.
Fin dalla sua nascita, iconografica da tempo istituzionalizzata, quella della rappresentazione il partito aveva infatti richiamato tra le sue fila numerosi artisti che dell'estremo sacrificio del caduto; a questa venne aggiunta un'ulteriore si fecero portavoci degli ideali antifascisti. Lo studio delle opere scultoree limitato al periodo appare in questa sede prioritario e rappresenta un capitolo essenziale al fine di completare l'analisi della scultura italiana e delle sue contraddizioni all'indomani del periodo fascista e della fine della guerra.
I monumenti alla Resistenza eretti subito dopo il 25 aprile furono davvero pochi ma la loro ricognizione risulta di fondamentale interesse, visto che la loro costruzione coinvolse buona parte degli scultori attivi nel corso del Ventennio e negli anni del conflitto. Si tratta di una commissione del maggio partigiana. In una prima versione in terracotta del bozzetto, il regime. Per la fasciste appena demolite.
Tra costoro Luciano Minguzzi, a cui venne commissionata la realizzazione del Monumento al Partigiano e alla Partigiana, in memoria della battaglia antinazista di Porta Lame, combattuta nel novembre del L'opera venne volutamente realizzata con il bronzo ricavato dalla fusione del frammento della statua equestre Fig. Il termine stesso di ri-nascita presuppone del regime si erano dimostrati, in un primo momento, animati da una una fase di rinnovamento totale maturato, nel caso italiano, dopo furia cieca e distruttrice, durante il secondo governo De Gasperi, la fine di un periodo breve ma drammatico.
In precedenza varie figure femminili erano comparse produzione littoria fu necessaria a smuovere le coscienze degli artisti: Gli scultori del dopoguerra. Fu un appello che non rimase senza risposta: Per una visione esaustiva della liturgia fascista si veda Belli Fu solo a partire dal giugno del che venne istituito il divieto di esercitare una professione senza detenere la tessera del PNF.

He deliberate moves aimed at professional and personal survival, or were moved from his native Palermo to Messina, Genova, Milan, Rome, they also the result of a true intellectual and political metamorphosis?
But, as we know, history has not been generous Paul Corner and other contemporary scholars have already underlined with minor figures and Maraffa is not an exception. His profits from his understated new post-war life. And yet, In December , Maraffa issued his first notable magazine, Flirt. Flirt was the ideal mirror of the Sicilian osservare che… egli dimenticava gli indifferenti e i disillusi. Similarly, in her recent I redenti. Gli intellettuali che vissero due Flirt was not a political publication.
It contained poetry, volte. La rivisitazione delle vicende degli uomini che vissero una to women writers10 and its dynamic Direttore, Maraffa Abate, often duplice esistenza provoca accesi dibattiti.

Around , Maraffa left a servile and an extremely patriotic attitude towards the autarchic Palermo and headed north, to Genoa and Milan and, eventually, to Rome.
From time to sort of periodical, a clever mix of cosmopolitism, patriotism, and time, Italia fascista presented its readers with more artistic content, politics. Futurism and its main features modernity, weighted down by an abundance of percentages and other figures, a energy, innovation and, later, fascism seduced the restless Maraffa telling sign of a too obvious deferential attitude towards the regime.

It also meant leaving his trademark notion of a literary particular region or city of the empire where fascist enterprises were and cultural magazine.
