Giovanni Gentile, the principal philosopher behind Italian Fascism, contributed notably to scholarship and governance. He is recognized for shaping Italy's corporatist state and educational framework under Mussolini's regime until his assassination by the Italian Communist Party in 1944.
In The Philosophy of Marx, Gentile critiques Marxist philosophy, highlighting its weaknesses as identified by various intellectuals, including Marx. He critiques Marx's misinterpretations of historical materialism, which he believes led to defects in Marxist theory and practice. Gentile advocates for a genuine Hegelian approach to dialectics and epistemology, rooted in his belief in "Actual Idealism," where he sees the dialectic as an intrinsic part of life that necessitates a strong central government to synthesize and manage divergent identities and interests.
Antelope Hill is proud to present a unique translation of Giovanni Gentile's pivotal The Philosophy of Marx, originally released in 1899 and revised in 1937.
