Author Giovanni Gentile

La Filosofia di Marx (1899) is a master piece of the debate on which Italian contemporary philosophy is grounded. This young Gentile’s book comes after, on the one hand, Essays on the Materialist Conception of History by Antonio Labriola (who introduced Marx in Italy), and, on the other hand, Historial Materialism and Marxist Economy (by Benedetto Croce),  which soon became the revisionist charter.  Gentile’s 1899 book – considered by Lenin  as a very profound study (cf. the entry « Marx » of the Russian dictionary Granat) – not only puts forward, against Labriola and Croce, the reality and the high significance of the philosophy of praxis, but also states that a lot of contradictions are going through its materialism. Furthermore, it turns the philosophy of praxis upside down in order to make it into a speculative and historicist idealism. That is to say that Gentile re-interprets this philosophy as an actualism – actualism which will rule over Italian philosophy until the end of the Second World War.
