Has anyone read Gentile's Philosophy of Mind as Pure Act and/or Klages' Of Cosmogonic Eros? Are these worth reading for a fan of German Idealism and Romanticism?
>>23629634I look like this and order this
>>23629634Gentile is interesting to read as a Post-Hegelian.
>>23629634Also what publishing is best for each work?>>23629644He's just like me fr fr
>>23629729Thankee. Praytell more. Is he like Bradley? I saw him referenced in Yeats' Vision poem/prose/philosophy.
Also, to plz the antifa: why is Croce's Aesthetics book so overpriced for an Anglo translation??? Speaking italio philosophia
>>23629735I'm not very familiar with Bradley but Gentile's entire corpus is a critique of the idea of transcendence. He trys to ground all experience as a pure immanent act of active thinking mind. A good introduction to his work is an essay of his titled "Basic Concepts of Actualism". It's a plain stated outline of what he thinks
>>23629758What is best printing of Phil of Mind? I see two amazon. Both look like cheap printings alas. Don't want scans or typos yano
>>23629634Gentile’s fascism is interesting for someone interested in idealism (I’m not anymore, but I was).https://youtu.be/XHVClQSQfG0?si=FFAS5lXXPchMZs3-https://youtu.be/X3b_U2Tlzv0?si=udcu5a7SM5cqNoCv^the guy calls himself an anarchist communist, but he is obviously a fascist and student of Gentile Klages has basically nothing at all to do with idealism.
>>23629764The best your going to find is a reprint. It was published in 1922 and is a fascist primary source. I might got my copy from Kessinger Publishing
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Gentile.without a solid grasp of Hegelian Idealism most of the philosophy will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Gentile's actual idealism, which is deftly woven into his writings and is a continuation of Hegel's philosophy. The idealists that understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these writings, to realise that they're not just insightful- they say something deep about BEING. As a consequence people who dislike Giovanni Gentile truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, Gentile's critique of historical materialism.I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Giovanni Gentile's genius unfolds itself on their e-reader/laptop screens. What fools. how I pity them.And yes, by the way, I DO have a Fascio tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably closer) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
