Offers a more complex picture of Roberto Esposito's notion of "Italian Thought" in order to examine the persisting crisis of contemporary Italian philosophy.
The present volume intends to offer new insight into Roberto Esposito's seminal notion of "Italian Thought." In Esposito's understanding, Italian Thought would offer an innovative bridge between French and German philosophy. As distinguished from French postmodernism and German transcendentalism in communication ethics, Italian Thought would allow for a better negotiation between power, history, and life. The essays within The Resistible Crisis of Italian Thought do not share Esposito's optimism but rather argue that the fascinating notion of Italian Thought unfortunately only provides a selective representation and neglects several portions of it, such as Italian metaphysicians, political scientists, feminists, and art theorists. Motivated by the ambition to address this neglect and to offer a more complex insight that does not necessarily end with the reassuring representation offered by Esposito, this volume points us toward an examination of the persisting crisis of contemporary Italian philosophy.
