Esperienza e metafisica. Rosmini (e Bontadini) oltre Kant

The present article deals with the theme of experience in Rosmini’s philosophy in reference to Kant’s Critic of the Pure Reason and Bontadini’s metaphysics of experience. First of all, I argue that, according to Bontadini and Rosmini, experience means presence and not a construction due to some subjective forms. Then I consider the gnoseological theory of Rosmini and some possible similarities with Bontadini’s theory of knowledge. Finally, I point out that according to Rosmini and Bontadini metaphysics of being is possible thanks to the refusal of the gnoseological dualism.
