Quotes
In reality, Croce made a graft. The distinction became dialectical transition, opposition and overcoming. The vital and economic moment, innocent in itself, became, in its collision with other forms, the negative, the ugly, the error, the evil. Humanistic harmony was broken, and the rupture of equilibrium, the internal contrast, became the driving force of becoming and overcoming... But above all, one must ask whether the “graft”, which is always an artificial operation, has really been successful. This is the question that dramatically troubled Benedetto Croce until the very end.
Quoted in Leo Valiani, La filosofia della libertà, Edizioni di Comunità, Milan, 1963.
Quotes about
In his essays on Croce, Carlo Antoni noted that the struggle over the distinction between activity, and between ethical and economic-political practice, initially changed the author's perspective on the entire structure, albeit inadvertently. Turning, in “'Filosofia della pratica”', with still only speculative interests, to the consideration of politics, Croce was critical, above all, of humanitarian, Enlightenment-inspired, egalitarian democracy.
