Rosmini and Gramsci
The raise of the idea of Civil Society in modern Italian political thought (A video course by Prof. Markus Krienke)
The concept of civil society is a typical concept of political though in European modernity, and it is quite noteworthy that two Italian philosophers gave a significant contribution to its development: Rosmini and Gramsci designed two diverse concepts to overcome the contradictory definition of civil society in Hegel, resolving it either into the resolution of social “hegemony” (Gramsci) or into the institution of personal natural rights (Rosmini).
