Abstract dell'evento

This International Congress is the 10th in a series of academic meetings organised since 2010 by the Chairs of Theoretical and Moral Philosophy of the University of Urbino in collaboration with the Department DESP. Their constant aim has been not only that of spreading the general knowledge of genuine academic philosophy to scholars of new generations, but also, and especially, of acquainting them with the great epistemological, metaphysical and moral problems dealt with, in its more than bi-millennial historical development, by philosophical Idealism, and with the different solutions of them put forward by outstanding thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Plotin, Proclus, Spinoza, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel and his followers in German, Italian, Anglo-Saxon and Russian contemporary philosophy.

The topic chosen for this year’s International Congress is the philosophical, not simply apologetic but also critical, understanding of the essence of religion and of its dogmatic, institutional and moral realisation. Special attention will be paid to the original definition of the theoretical content of Christian religion in the Byzantine epoch, to Hegel’s epoch-making “speculative” and “systematic” conception of it, to the role played by Orthodox religion in the metaphysical and political outlook of the Russian philosopher Ivan Aleksandrovich Il’in and, finally, to the not always wholly consistent, yet deep and stimulating philosophy of religion as the “abstractly objective absolute form of spirit” set out by the major Italian philosopher of the XX century, Giovanni Gentile, in the framework of his Actual Idealism.
