Introduzione. Antonio Erbetta, fenomenologo della crisi

In this introductory article of the special issue dedicated to Antonio Erbetta, the Author examines the relationship of the philosopher form Turin with the phenomenological pedagogy through his relationship with Piero Bertolini and the group of phenomenological pedagogy surrounding him. Erbetta had a troubled and critical relationship with the phenomenology, always interpreted in the light of French existentialism. But this did not prevent him from being one of the main forerunners of the journal Encyclopaideia. Finally the structure of the articles that make up the special issue is presented.
