'''Bertrando Spaventa''' (26 June 1817 – 20 September 1883) was a leading Italian philosopher of the 19th century whose ideas had an important influence on the changes that took place during the unification of Italy and on philosophical thought in the 20th century.

==Biography==
Elder brother of Italian patriot [[:it:Silvio Spaventa|Silvio Spaventa (in Italian)]], Bertrando was born into a well-to-do, middle class family. His mother, Maria Anna Croce, was the great-aunt of philosopher [[Benedetto Croce]].
Elder brother of Italian patriot [[Silvio Spaventa]], Bertrando was born into a middle-class family in financial difficulty. His mother, Maria Anna Croce, was the great-aunt of philosopher [[Benedetto Croce]].


He was educated at the Diocesan Seminary in [[Chieti]] and ordained there. In 1838 he moved, along with his brother, to [[Montecassino]] to take up the post of teacher of mathematics and rhetoric at the local seminary<ref>{{cite web|title=Comune of Bomba website|url=http://www.comunedibomba.it/index.php?IdPagina=123|accessdate=27 August 2012}}</ref> . In 1840 he went to Naples to continue his education. By learning German and English, he became one of the first Italian thinkers of the period to read the works of foreign philosophers in the original. He moved in liberal circles and became close to thinkers like [[:it:Ottavio Colecchi|Ottavio Colecchi (in Italian)]] and [[:it:Antonio Tari|Antonio Tari (in Italian)]], set up his own philosophy school and also helped edit ''Il Nazionale'', the newspaper founded and edited by his brother. Following the repeal of the Constitution by [[Ferdinando II]] in 1848, he left Naples: first for Florence, then Turin. He abandoned the priesthood and began work as a journalist for the Piedmontese publications ''Il Progresso'', ''Il Cimento'', ''Il Piemonte'', and ''Rivista Contemporanea''. While in Turin, Spaventa drew close to the ideas of [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel|Hegel]], working out his philosophical system and political thought, and engaging in a polemic with ''La Civiltà Cattolica'', the [[Jesuit]]'s journal, arguing against the idea that religion was necessary for human development.

In 1858 he took up the chair of philosophy of law at the University of Modena, followed by that of history of philosophy at Bologna in 1860, then the chair of philosophy at the University of Naples in the following year. In a series of lectures, given in late 1861, he first expounded his theory on the circular movement of philosophical thought between Italy and Europe. Although the accepted view, at that time, was that Italian philosophy had always remained loyal to the Platonic-Christian tradition, Spaventa sought to demonstrate that modern, secular, idealist, philosophy had originated in Italy, even though it had reached its highest form in Germany. In doing so, he attempted to equate the philosophy of [[Descartes]] to that of [[Tommaso Campanella]], of [[Baruch Spinoza]] to that of [[Giordano Bruno]], of [[Immanuel Kant]] to that of [[Giambattista Vico]] and [[Antonio Rosmini]], and of the German Idealists to that of [[Vincenzo Gioberti]]. His aim in this was to free Italian philosophy of its provincialism.

Spaventa spread the influence of Hegelian Idealism in Italy: his work influenced profoundly [[Giovanni Gentile]]; [[Benedetto Croce]], who moved in with Silvio Spaventa after his parents had died, attended Bertrand's lectures, liking them particularly for their liberalism. Other members of his “school” include [[:it:Sebastiano Maturi|Sebastiano Maturi (in Italian)]], [[:it:Donato Jaja|Donato Jaja (in Italian)]], [[:it:Filippo Masci|Filippo Masci (in Italian)]], [[:it:Felice Tocco|Felice Tocco (in Italian)]], and [[Antonio Labriola]].

Bertrando Spaventa (26 June 1817 – 20 September 1883) was a leading Italian philosopher of the 19th century whose ideas had an important influence on the changes that took place during the unification of Italy and on philosophical thought in the 20th century.

Biography

[edit]

Elder brother of Italian patriot Silvio Spaventa, Bertrando was born into a middle-class family in financial difficulty. His mother, Maria Anna Croce, was the great-aunt of philosopher Benedetto Croce.

He was educated at the Diocesan Seminary in Chieti and ordained there. In 1838 he moved, along with his brother, to Montecassino to take up the post of teacher of mathematics and rhetoric at the local seminary.[1] In 1840 he went to Naples to continue his education. By learning German and English, he became one of the first Italian thinkers of the period to read the works of foreign philosophers in the original. He moved in liberal circles and became close to thinkers like Ottavio Colecchi (Italian entry) and Antonio Tari (Italian entry), set up his own philosophy school[2] and also helped edit Il Nazionale, the newspaper founded and edited by his brother, Silvio. In 1849, following the repeal of the Constitution by Ferdinando II and the arrest of Silvio,[3] he left Naples: first for Florence,[4] then Turin. After abandoning the priesthood,[5] he began work as a journalist for the Piedmontese publications Il Progresso, Il Cimento, Il Piemonte, and Rivista Contemporanea. While in Turin, Spaventa drew close to the ideas of Hegel, working out his philosophical system and political thought, and engaging in a polemic with La Civiltà Cattolica, the Jesuit's journal, arguing against the idea that religion was necessary for human development.

In 1858 he took up the chair of philosophy of law at the University of Modena, followed by that of history of philosophy at Bologna in 1860, then philosophy at the University of Naples in the following year. In a series of lectures, given in Bologna in 1860,[6] he first expounded his theory on the circular movement of philosophical thought between Italy and Europe. Although the accepted view then was that Italian philosophy had always remained loyal to the Platonic-Christian tradition, Spaventa sought to demonstrate that modern, secular, idealist, philosophy had originated in Italy, even though it had reached its highest form in Germany. He attributed the sorry state of philosophy in 19th century Italy to the lack of intellectual freedom following the Counter-Reformation, as well as to the oppression of despotic rulers.[7] Furthermore, he attempted to equate the philosophy of Descartes to that of Tommaso Campanella, of Baruch Spinoza to that of Giordano Bruno, of Immanuel Kant to that of Giambattista Vico and Antonio Rosmini, and of the German Idealists to that of Vincenzo Gioberti.[8] His aim in this was to free Italian philosophy of its provincialism[9] and bring new life to it[10] without falling into the trap of the nationalists, against whom he wrote a vigorous polemic.[11]

Spaventa spread the influence of Hegelian Idealism in Italy:[12][13] his work influenced profoundly Giovanni Gentile and Benedetto Croce, who moved in with Silvio Spaventa after his parents had died and attended Bertrando's lectures, liking them particularly for their liberalism. Other members of his “school” include Sebastiano Maturi (in Italian), Donato Jaja (in Italian), Filippo Masci (in Italian), Felice Tocco (in Italian), and Antonio Labriola.

Bertrando Spaventa also served three terms as Member of Parliament in the Kingdom of Italy for the Historical Right party. He supported secular policies, linked to a strong feeling for the state,[14] based on universal suffrage.[15] This would form the source of inspiration for the development of a harmonious society, in which individuals and the community could find the necessary resources for growth in an “orderly and just” manner.[16]
