Modernismo e Blondel nelle riflessioni del giovane Stefanini

[Autom. eng. transl.] The essay reports a significant part of the formative years of Luigi Stefanini, a thinker destined, after the Second World War, to leave a significant sign in Italian pedagogy and philosophy, through the introduction of an original form of personalism. The meeting with Blondel dates back to the time of the thesis on L'Action (1914). In various textbooks of the Twenties, some of them for secondary schools, the young scholar from the Veneto region showed his appreciation for the efforts made by the French author to renew the defense and the Catholic philosophy in a close confrontation with thought modern. However, some hasty judgments that seemed to condemn the remaining traces of modernism in the French writer caused heated reactions in the latter. We have proof of this in the Stefanini-Blondel correspondence between 1927 and 1931.
