Ferruccio Rossi-Landi e il "Patrimonio Analitico"

After World War Two, a radical process of cultural renewal, known as neo- Enlightenment, whose purpose was to reconsider the idealism and the spiritualism ruling in the country, began in Italy. With regard to this process, in addition to well known protagonists such as Ludovico Geymonat and Nicola Abbagnano, a definite role was also played by the philosopher and semiotic Ferruccio Rossi Landi (1922-1985), a persevering translator and popularizer of authors such as Gilbert Ryle and Charles Morris, spokesmen of philosophic traditions that Italian culture was plainly hostile to. But Rossi-Landis merit was also to study in depth the Italian philosophic tradition itself, to rehabilitate the vitality of some of her exponents, far too long emarginated , when not totally hidden, by the idealistic ideology: among them, Giovanni Vailati (1863-1909) distinguishes himself by his attention to the language issues in the sphere of epistemological research.After World War Two, a radical process of cultural renewal, known as neo- Enlightenment, whose purpose was to reconsider the idealism and the spiritualism ruling in the country, began in Italy.
