In Vincenzo Gioberti’s reflections religious reformism and political proposal are always accompanied by a serious historical analysis. This essay re-traces Gioberti’s reading of the history of philosophical rationality focusing in particular on the Introduzione allo studio della filosofia. The interpretation of the passages dedicated to Spinoza, Descartes and Hegel aims at highlighting the ambiguity inside Gioberti’s criticism. Despite his wholly negative judgement of the outcomes of the history of thought, Gioberti does consider self-awareness within his perspective, as a criterion for distinguishing the truth, and as the most significant and no more revocable result emerging from modern philosophy.

Abstract
In Vincenzo Gioberti’s reflections religious reformism and political proposal are always accompanied by a serious historical analysis. This essay re-traces Gioberti’s reading of the history of philosophical rationality focusing in particular on the Introduzione allo studio della filosofia. The interpretation of the passages dedicated to Spinoza, Descartes and Hegel aims at highlighting the ambiguity inside Gioberti’s criticism. Despite his wholly negative judgement of the outcomes of the history of thought, Gioberti does consider self-awareness within his perspective, as a criterion for distinguishing the truth, and as the most significant and no more revocable result emerging from modern philosophy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
