Giovanni Gentile, a key figure in Italian fascism, crafted a philosophical framework known as "actualism," integrating various early 20th-century ideologies like nationalism and futurism. He advocated for an idealistic ethic emphasizing obedience, self-sacrifice, and national unity, positioning his views as a response to the challenges faced by nations seeking status among Great Powers. This volume compiles significant writings from Gentile, reflecting his thoughts during the critical period surrounding the rise of fascism in Italy.
