The Theory of Mind as Pure Act

Meer over het boek

Gentile's philosophy presents a unique blend of simplicity and complexity, rooted in a "Fichte-ised" interpretation of Hegel. Central to his thought is the idea that reality is intertwined with the act of thinking, emphasizing that thought is not a finished product but an ongoing process. This concept, termed "autoctisis," underscores the impossibility of separating oneself from one's thoughts, asserting that thinking is always an active engagement. Gentile's work challenges traditional notions of detachment in philosophy, pushing the boundaries of idealism.
