Giovanni Gentile was an Italian philosopher and politician, a key figure in neo-Hegelian idealism. He famously described himself as 'the philosopher of Fascism,' profoundly shaping the intellectual underpinnings of the ideology. Gentile developed his own distinct philosophical system, Actual Idealism, which explored concepts of pure act and subjective reality. His work represents a significant, albeit controversial, contribution to modern philosophy and political thought.
The book examines key writings from the period surrounding Fascism's rise in Italy, highlighting the ideological connections between the Risorgimento and Fascism. It delves into the historical and doctrinal continuities that influenced the political landscape before Fascism took hold, providing insights into the evolution of thought during this pivotal time in Italian history.
Excerpt from The Reform of Education Shortly after Trieste fell into Italian hands, a series of lectures was arranged for the school teachers of the city, in order to welcome them to their new duties as citizens and officials of Italy. The task of opening the series was assigned to Giovanni Gentile, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Rome, who delivered the lectures which constitute the present volume. At my request Signor Gentile has rewritten the first chapter, eliminating some of the more local of the allusions which the nature of the original occasion called forth, and Senatore Croce has very generously contributed his illuminating Introduction. The volume as it stands is more than a treatise on education: it is at one and the same time an introduction to the thought of one of the greatest of living philosophers, and an introduction to the study of all philosophy. If the teachers of Trieste were able to understand and to enjoy a philosophic discussion of their chosen work, why should not the teachers of England and America?
