From the Nature of the Mind to Personal Dignity
What Aristotle described as the light of the intellect - the lumen intellectuale for the Scholastics - is brought into play in the epistemological discussion not just to develop an innovative theory of knowledge, but also to account for the constitution of the human mind, as a foundation for ethical principles, and as the starting point of a more comprehensive ontology, where the person is given his due place." "Rosmini links one subject with another, respecting each field at the same time, with a stunning example of an encyclopedic way of thinking. Philosophers aiming at renovation in continuity will also find in him a vigorous model and an unprecedented challenge."--Jacket.

America in Italy
America in Italy examines the influence of the American political experience on the imagination of Italian political thinkers between the late eighteenth century and the unification of Italy in the 1860s. Axel Körner shows how Italian political thought was shaped by debates about the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution, but he focuses on the important distinction that while European interest in developments across the Atlantic was keen, this attention was not blind admiration. Rather, America became a sounding board for the critical assessment of societal changes at home. Many Italians did not think the United States had lessons to teach them and often concluded that life across t...

From Kant to Croce
From around 1800, shortly before Pasquale Galluppi's first book, until 1950, just before Benedetto Croce died, the most formative influences on Italian philosophers were Kant and the post-Kantians, especially Hegel. In many ways, the Italian philosophers of this period lived in turbulent but creative times, from the Restoration to the Risorgimento and the rise and fall of Fascism. From Kant to Croce is a comprehensive, highly readable history of the main currents and major figures of modern Italian philosophy, described in a substantial introduction that details the development of the discipline during this period. Brian P. Copenhaver and Rebecca Copenhaver provide the only up-to-date introduction in English to Italy's leading modern philosophers by translating and analysing rare and original texts and by chronicling the lives and times of the philosophers who wrote them. Thoroughly documented and highly readable, From Kant to Croce examines modern Italian philosophy from the perspective of contemporary analytic philosophy.

Dall’Archivio del papa
Sono molte ormai le pubblicazioni che trattano dell’Archivio Segreto (poi Apostolico) Vaticano, dei suoi fondi, di particolari documenti, di singolari eventi o di figure storiche in essi riflesse. Sergio Pagano, prefetto dell’Archivio dal 1997, percorre però in questo libro una via diversa. Vagliando tra l’immenso patrimonio di carte custodito da secoli, ha scelto 40 scritti che spaziano dall’alto medioevo fino alla metà del Novecento, secondo un’ottica particolare, fra inedito e curioso, presentandoci, ad esempio, documenti massonici inconsueti, o che ci parlano di episodi singolari come il disseppellimento medievale di una scomunicata, i “mutandoni” aggiunti ai putti di S. Pietro, la “spada” messa inaspettatamente al servizio di Pio IX da Garibaldi, o i calcoli necessari per sostenere i costi di un funerale papale e di un conclave. L’autore ha voluto aprire le «porte di ambiti e ambienti religiosi solitamente chiuse (monasteri, conventi, curie, tribunali, ecc.) e scorgervi sprazzi di vita vissuta, in molti casi taciuti nel tempo».
