Armando Torno

Armando Torno (1953) is an Italian philosopher. Quotes (About Hermann Hesse) Like few others has summarized in his work the impulses and escapism of our time: loved a few years ago by the right, he is not disliked by the left and is appreciated by those who devote themselves to spiritual research. In him, Ladislao Mittner noted, pietism and Buddhism coexisted; in his pages, we find a religion born of a similar union, capable of reflecting trends without offending them.

If Nietzsche had returned to the beginnings of Greece to reconstruct the hierarchy of values, Hesse was an anti-authoritarian who appealed to institutions; if Spengler had diagnosed the agony of our civilization, he discovered Asia. The canton of Ticino was his true homeland. There he found what he was looking for. There he is buried.
