No full textDove vanno i laici. Note sull’etica di Paolo Bonetti
No full textIl purgatorio dei laici, a book published by Paolo Bonetti in 2008, is an expression of the “restless laity” of its author. Composed of a series of meditations on the present stage of ethics, especially in its relations with the Catholic religion, that book appears to us today as a collection of “ethical fragments” from which we derive still useful reflections on the present stage of ethics in its relationships with bioethics and on the limits and paradoxes of a metaphysics and immutable "human nature". Reasonable claim to the authentic meaning of secularism and liberalism – keywords of Bonettian ethics –, this article was born from the attempt to trace a profile of the philosopher Bonetti before the challenges of contemporary world’s complexity
Barocco
No full textWhat remains of Croce today? The "Lessico crociano" presented here moves from this question. The editorial project began in 2013, when some of the most authoritative Italian and foreign scholars and a new generation of Croce's interpreters were invited by the editor to draw up a small essential conceptual "lexicon" of Croce's thought. And so the "voices" that can be read here have taken shape, ranging from art to politics, from logic to history, bearing witness to the variegated and complex intellectual physiognomy of the thinker who more and better than others has represented the spirit of Italian philosophy in the twentieth century, even beyond national borders.
Having overcome the ideological season that saw the "liquidators" and the "defenders" of Croce's thought lined up on two opposite sides, and having verified the inadequacy of a "monumental" and "antiquarian" historiography applied to the still living flesh of Croce's legacy of thought, the time is propitious to finally read Croce in a positively "barbaric" way, that is, as children of no school and with new eyes. And to verify, consequently, not the banal prophetic topicality or the irredeemable inactuality of the contents, but the beneficial vitality of a methodological framework and, in general, of an authentically cosmopolitan approach to the questions of the world.
For this reason, to the specialist as well as to the simple curious reader of Croce, a "breviary" is offered in synthesis: some propaedeutic and lay notes recovered from a still living past, so that they can serve the men of the present to "foresee" with thought the otherwise unrepresentable scenarios of action in the future.
The entry "Baroque" takes its cue from Croce's 1929 book "Storia dell'età barocca in Italia" (History of the Baroque Age in Italy) and discusses its genesis, its connections with other works and the overall judgment on what is defined as a relative "age of decadence". The author has already devoted to the Barock-Reinassance of the 1920s the article "Of some Croce's motifs in Benjamin" ("Bollettino filosofico", 2013), reading Croce's work with Benjamin's "Origin of Baroque Drama"

La disputa sul barocco e altri motivi crociani in Benjamin
Full text linkThe dispute on the Baroque breaks out in Germany in the Twenties: Benedetto Croce and Walter Benjamin participate in the debate with Storia dell’età barocca and Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiel. These works are analyzed in the context of the revival of the Baroque of those years but above all as examples of a critical judgment on the historiographical use of the category of "decadence". The thread of the comparison here established is the theory of historical knowledge to which Croce and Benjamin gave revealing contributions, overcoming metaphysical solutions and never renouncing the exercise of philosophy in the understanding of history.La disputa sul Barocco inizia in Germania negli anni Venti: Benedetto Croce e Walter Benjamin partecipano al dibattito su Storia dell’età barocca e Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiel. Queste opere sono analizzate nel contesto del ritorno del Barocco di quegli anni, ma soprattutto come esempi di un giudizio critico sull’uso storiografico della categoria di “decadenza”. Il termine del confronto qui stabilito è la teoria della conoscenza storica cui Croce e Benjamin hanno fornito significativi contributi, oltrepassando le soluzioni metafisiche e senza mai rinunciare all’esercizio filosofico nella conoscenza della storia.
