The problem of "man" in Antonio Rosmini's philosophy

Enzo Manghi

Short description

The monograph concerns the entire work of A. Rosmini which tries to reconcile philosophy and religion in contrast to sensism and illuminism.
Rosmini interprets morale as the respect of human rights.
His gnoseology is nothing else than the return to the augustinian type instinct, but it is limited to just one single idea, the idea of existence.
The ideal being, the insight of reasoning, is the possible being. It is the most general and abstract idea that one can have and it is characterized by objectivity, universality, immutability and it derives directly from god.
Sensation is subjective and it is able to modify the feeling of our body.
Objectivity is obtained when sensation and subjective feeling meet with the ideal being, which is an element of knowledge.
The concept of the rosminian being is conditioned by his deduction of the supreme being: the ideal being is some divine part present in man.
