On the one hand, Benedetto Croce (1866?1952) and Giovanni Gentile (1875?1944) spearheaded a radical rethinking of historicism and philosophical idealism that significantly reoriented Italian culture. On the other hand, the period witnessed the first rumblings of fascism. Assuming opposite sides, Gentile became the semi-official philosopher of fascism while Croce argued for a renewed liberalism based on ?absolute? historicism.In Historicism and Fascism in Modern Italy, David D. Roberts uses the ideological conflict between Croce and Gentile as a basis for a wider discussion of the interplay between politics and ideas in Italy during the early-twentieth century. Roberts examines the connection between fascism and the modern Italian intellectual tradition, arguing that the relationship not only deepens our understanding of fascism and liberalism but also illuminates ongoing dangers and possibilities in the wider Western world. This set of twelve essays by one of the leading scholars in the field represents an authoritative view of the modern Italian intellectual tradition, its relationship with fascism, and its enduring implications for history, politics, and culture in Italy and beyond. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aFascism$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHistoricism 607 $aItaly$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aItaly$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFascism$xHistory 615 0$aHistoricism. 676 $a945.09 700 $aRoberts$b David D.$f1943-$0886784 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456367403321 996 $aHistoricism and fascism in modern Italy$91980465 997 $aUNINA
