Idealism Books
Imprint Academic Giovanni Gentile and the State of Contemporary
Book SynopsisRecent moral philosophers have had little to say about Giovanni Gentile''s ''actual idealism', which is widely dismissed as a kind of obscurantist Hegelianism used to conceal flimsy justifications for the state's total impunity over questions of morality and truth. While Gentile is increasingly recognised as a major figure in twentieth-century Italian culture, actual idealism itself has yet to be given a full and impartial philosophical appraisal.Giovanni Gentile and the State of Contemporary Constructivism represents the first book-length treatment of actual idealist moral theory. Part I describes and criticises Gentile's stated view, showing that it includes several ambiguities that he exploits in order to align it with Fascist totalitarianism. Part II develops a modified version that is more consistent with the basic tenets of actual idealism.It is argued that Gentile's theory is best understood as a radical constructivist doctrine according to which all thinking has a moral character. Rigorously conceived, it promotes not uncritical submission to the state, but free and self-regulating thought in the absence of a fully objective reality. Thus Gentile demonstrates both the plausibility and the limitations of any uncompromising form of anti-realist constructivism.

Imprint Academic Thought Thinking: The Philosophy of Giovanni
Book SynopsisThe Italian author Giovanni Gentile (18751944) occupied a radical position among philosophers of the first half of the twentieth century. He tried in earnest to revolutionize idealist theory, developing a doctrine that retained the idealist conception of the thinking subject as the centre and source of any intelligible reality, while eschewing many of the unwarranted abstractions that had pervaded earlier varieties of idealism and led their adherents astray.Given his great prominence during his lifetime, it is perhaps remarkable that Gentile is so little discussed, and even then so poorly understood, in the English-speaking world. Few of his works have ever been translated into English, and these represent only a fraction of his great corpus and the many topics discussed therein. This neglect is partly explained by his close association with the Partito Nazionale Fascista (National Fascist Party), of which he remained a loyal member and supporter between 1923 and his assassination in 1944.The volume comprises eleven essays. Seven of these are new pieces written especially for Thought Thinking, and are intended both to contribute to ongoing debates about Gentile''s philosophy and to indicate just a few of its many aspects that continue to draw the attention of philosophers, political theorists and intellectual historians. These are supplemented by new English translations of four of Gentile''s shorter works, selected to offer some direct insight into his ideas and style of writing.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The End of Literature, Hegel, and the Contemporary Novel
Book SynopsisThis book explores the concept of the end of literature through the lens of Hegel's philosophy of art. In his version of Hegel's 'end of art' thesis, Arthur Danto claimed that contemporary art has abandoned its distinctive sensitive and emotive features to become increasingly reflective. Contemporary art has become a question of philosophical reflection on itself and on the world, thus producing an epochal change in art history. The core idea of this book is that this thesis applies quite well to all forms of art except one, namely literature: literature resists its 'end'.Unlike other arts, which have experienced significant fractures in the contemporary world, Campana proposes that literature has always known how to renew itself in order to retain its distinguishing features, so much so that in a way it has always come to terms with its own end. Analysing the distinct character of literature, this book proposes a new and original interpretation of the 'end of art' thesis, showing how it can be used as a key conceptual framework to understand the contemporary novel.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Das gute Unendliche in der deutschen Frühromantik
Book SynopsisDas Buch eröffnet einen völlig anderen Blick auf die Romantik: Anstelle von Nostalgie, unendlicher und unerfüllter Annäherung steht das Harmonische und Versöhnliche im Mittelpunkt. Jacob Burda vertritt die in der Forschungsliteratur neue These, dass die Figur der guten Unendlichkeit schon der Frühromantik zuzuordnen ist - und nicht erst mit G.W.F. Hegel beginnt. Das hat weitreichende Konsequenzen für die Ästhetik, die Theologie und das Kunstverständnis, das wir gemeinhin mit der Romantik assoziieren. – Mit einem Geleitwort von Bazon Brock und einer Replik von Manfred Frank.Trade Review“This volume by Jacob Burda is a wide-ranging, fascinating, and important study of the topic of infinity in Early German Romanticism.” (David W. Wood, SYMPHILOSOPHIE, Issue 3, 2021)“... Das Buch hat schöne Einfälle und Gedanken, die sprachlich auch überwiegend gut präsentiert werden ...” (Jens Ole Schneider, in: gestern-romantik-heute, uni-jena.de, 27. Juni 2020)Table of ContentsDie Romantik als eine Form der Phänomenologie.- Das Annehmen des Unbegreiflichen.- Romantische Methodik.- Das Gute Unendliche.- Appendix: Die Erde uns das Gute Unendliche bei Heidegger.- Replik zur Dissertation Jacob Burdas: Über ‚gute’ und ‚schlechte Unendlichkeit’ in der Frühromantik.
