About the author

From 1902, Benedetto Croce, noted Italian historian and critic, wrote the four-volume Philosophy of the Spirit as a major work of modern idealism to 1917, and staunchly opposed Fascism.

This politician wrote on numerous topics, including aesthetics. A very strict Catholic family reared Benedetto Croce. After an earthquake in 1883 killed his parents and only sister and buried him for a very long time, he barely survived. From Catholicism around the age of 18 years in 1884, he turned away as an atheist for the rest of his life. After the incident, he inherited fortune of his family and ably lived the rest in relative leisure, which enabled him to devote a great deal of time.

Benedetto Croce served as the minister of education. He openly resisted participation in World War I. He openly hated the party till his death in 1952.

Reviews

[Giulio · Rating 3 out of 5]

L'opera è una porta sia verso l'estetica crociana, sia verso la concezione e gli studi relativi alla poesia che caratterizzavano l'epoca di Croce.
Gli do solo tre stelle sia perché il linguaggio era davvero tanto ostico, sia perché alcuni dei ragionamenti sono ormai un po' datati.

Un'opera interessante ma assolutamente non indispensabile.
