This book, itself by a major Italian philosopher, explores the distinctive traits of Italian theory and philosophy, reflecting on why it has been growing in popularity and why people have turned to it for answers to real-world issues and problems.
"This extraordinary and totally innovative analysis of the role of Italian philosophy within the European tradition shows that from the time of the Renaissance, Italian thought has had a specificity and an originality that is still present today in the philosophical elaborations of Italy's major thinkers, such as Gianni Vattimo, Remo Bodei, and Giorgio Agamben."
