Living Thought by Roberto Esposito
This book, itself by a major Italian philosopher, explores the distinctive traits of Italian theory and philosophy, reflecting on why it has been growing in popularity and why people have turned to it for answers to real-world issues and problems.
"Esposito explores the distinguishing roots and characteristics of Italian philosophy and the reasons for a surge of interest worldwide in what Italian thinkers have to say about current issuesHe writes engagingly for a broad scholarly audience, drawing on literary criticism, art history, political theory, and philosophy."—Book News, INC "In this expansive, provocative, and beautifully written work, Roberto Esposito, who is one of the most original voices in the Continental panorama today, sets out to articulate the 'Italian difference,' a question all the more enticing in light of the waning of the French generation that shaped the profile of European philosophy from the 1970s onward."—Giovanna Borradori, Vassar College "This extraordinary and totally innovative analysis of the role of Italian philosophy within the European tradition shows that from the time of the Renaissance, Italian thought has had a specificity and an originality that is still present today in the philosophical elaborations of Italy's major thinkers, such as Gianni Vattimo, Remo Bodei, and Giorgio Agamben."—Massimo Ciavolella, University of California, Los Angeles
