Abstract [Eng]

The article discusses the role of the Logic, considered as the beginning of philosophizing, in Gentile’s Actualism. In particular, the article focuses on the link between the logic of concrete and the logic of abstract, explaining a series of aporias based on the Hegelian conception of thought as a relation­ship of terms. Gentile shows that the Philosophy, identified with the Logic, is the absolute formalism: however, the logic of concrete appears as «a place of boundless loneliness», where the abstract never really has a ‘body’: thinking the identity and the difference of the two aspects of the Logic remains im­possible. The eternal doubt as the eternal philosophizing: it is the continuous rise of the unknown.
