Quali sfide per la filosofia teoretica italiana = What Challenges for Italian Theoretical Philosophy

This paper aims to identify some significant traits of contemporary Italian theoretical philosophy, starting from a new definition of theoretical philosophy and following an idea put forward by critical hermeneutics. Critical hermeneutics places particular emphasis, on the one hand, on the centrality of the philosophical work with the sciences and, on the other hand, on the openness towards different schools and traditions, overcoming the radicalised position. It is precisely the knot of radical opposition that emerges among the most important challenges, alongside the challenges of seeking moderate autonomy, upgrading relations with the extra-philosophical world, and distancing from communicative-media and commercial seductions.
