Vico, Hegel and the Making of Modern Italy
Embracing a transnational approach to 19th-century Italian intellectual history, this book examines the encounter and amalgamation of local and foreign philosophical traditions, chiefly represented by the thought of Giambattista Vico and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, showcasing their contribution to shaping a historical mindset that guided and legitimised Italians' experiences of political change. Taking a revisionist stance, the author challenges the prevailing view that Italian thinkers passively adopted foreign ideas. Instead, they engaged critically with them, questioning their conceptual foundations and applicability to Italy's political landscape. Vico, Hegel and the Making of Modern ...
Postcolonial Theory and Crisis
In the millennial transition the prefix ‘post’ had come to signify more and more not just the realisation of a ‘coming after’ but also of the impossibility of not seeing the present as still very much working through the wounds of the past. Yet with the appearance of pseudo-concepts such as ‘post-truth’ after an equally imaginary ‘death of History’, the logic of the ‘post’, itself always already under questioning, may appear to have outlived its usefulness. How to make sense of postcolonial theory in Europe in the present? One way might be to renew its significance as world conflicts have entered a new ‘post-imperial phase’ with the return of ideologies of empire in v...
Hegel and Italian Political Thought
Across Italy in the nineteenth century, a generation of intellectuals engaged with Hegel's philosophy while actively participating in Italian political life. Hegel and Italian Political Thought traces the reception and transformation of these ideas, exploring how Hegelian concepts were reworked into political practices by Italians who had participated in the 1848 revolution, who would lead the new Italian State after unification, and who would continue to play a central role in Italian politics until the end of the century. Fernanda Gallo investigates the particular features of Italian Hegelianism, demonstrating how intellectuals insisted on the historical and political dimension of Hegel's idealism. Set apart from the broader European reception, these thinkers presented a critical Hegelianism closer to practice than ideas, to history than metaphysics. This study challenges conventional hierarchies in the study of Italian political thought, exploring how the ideas of Hegel acquired newfound political power when brought into connection with their specific historical context.
Die Idee der Demokratie
Demokratie - zwischen Verheissung und Realitat Nach 1989 schien es, als seien die rechtstaatlich verfassten Demokratien der westlichen Industrielander das Zukunftsmodell schlechthin. Spatestens seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts aber wachst das Bewusstsein von der zunehmenden Diskrepanz zwischen den Verheissungen der Demokratie und ihrer Realitat. Wahrend autokratische Systeme wie China riesige Zuwachse des Bruttoinlandprodukts verbuchen konnen, hat sich die Hoffnung auf Frieden, Freiheit und Wohlstand fur viele Menschen in demokratischen Staaten nicht erfullt. Der Handlungsspielraum der von der globalisierten Okonomie in Geiselhaft genommenen nationalstaatlich organisierten Demokratien wird i...
