Dialettica e fondamento. La metafisica classica dopo l'attualismo

This volume retraces one of the least explored threads of contemporary Italian philosophy: the intertwining, at times supportive and at times conflictual, between dialectics and ground. From the engagement with Gentile's actualism to the rereading of Rosmini and his "manifest being-for-itself," to the theoretical laboratory opened by Gustavo Bontadini and embraced—before being radically reformulated—by Emanuele Severino, these pages show how the "unity of experience" operated as the initial locus of the identity of thought and being, and at the same time as a testing ground for rethinking the limits of immanentism. A reasoned and critical map of the Italian neoclassical tradition, capable of restoring Severino's originality and turning points, without evading the open questions of the relationship between appearance and being and between the finitude of knowledge and transcendence. A book for those who want to understand how, in Italy, philosophy has attempted—and still attempts—to conceive of the movement of reality and the solidity of its principle.
