A diferença italiana segundo Roberto Esposito

Abstract

This text is a partial and provisional result of a postdoctoral research in progress at the Scuola Normale Superiore de Pisa/Italia under the supervision of the philosopher Roberto Espósito. It is observed the in these first decades of the 21st century Italian philosophical thought, for some of reasons that we will try to explain below, has been the object of great worldwide interest, becoming the subject of numerous seminars, books and articles. The text tries to evaluate whether there would be something like an “Italian philosophy” beyond the national belonging of those who contributed to its construction. Can speak of an Italian Theory? If the answer to this question is affirmative, what would be its specificites?
