English Abstracts of the Illumanesimo Corpus
The eight volumes of the Illumanesimo corpus are currently available in Italian. The abstracts collected here offer English-speaking readers a complete overview of the philosophical project: each one presents the aims, the structure, and the central arguments of a volume.
The corpus follows an internal order. Five foundational volumes set out the philosophy itself, articulated in the universal foundations, the existential philosophy, and the research proposal; three further volumes place Illumanesimo in dialogue with the history of thought, from the classics of Western philosophy to contemporary metaphysics.
The abstracts can be read independently, but together they form a single itinerary.
