Erudizione eccezionale, non comune profondità intellettuale e mirabile capacità di sintesi sono forse le caratteristiche più notevoli di questo libro di Cornelio Fabro che oggi appare in formato digitale. Fin dall’inizio dell’opera, con una tensione intellettuale e spirituale costante e, al tempo stesso, in chiave ascendente, Fabro guida il lettore negli intricati sentieri di un problema che ha attirato, e attira tutt’ora, l’interesse di tutti i grandi pensatori.
Italian Catholic priest of the Stigmatine Order and a scholastic Thomist philosopher. He was the founder of the Institute for Higher Studies on Unbelief, Religion and Cultures.
Known for his prodigious philosophical production, Fabro was part of the scholastic revival of Thomism. One of his major contributions to twentieth-century philosophy was to draw attention to the notion of "participation" in Aquinas' metaphysics.
Fabro was also interested in modern philosophy, particularly the relationship of Kierkegaard's thought to Christian philosophy, the origins and nature of anthropocentrism in modern thought, and the critical analysis of "progressive" theology.
