Enzo Paci

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enzo Paci [pa'tʃi] (born September 18, 1911 in Monterado (today municipality of Trecastelli , province of Ancona ), † July 21, 1976 in Milan ) was an Italian philosopher . He was one of the most expressive exponents of existentialism in Italy . In the 1960s and 1970s he increasingly turned to phenomenology and Marxism and merged both schools of thought into "fenomarxismo". The physical person was always at the center of Paci's thinking.

Life

Paci studied philosophy with Antonio Banfi in Milan . He began his teaching career as a lecturer in history of philosophy at the University in Pavia and then taught Theoretical Philosophy at the State University of Milan (La Statale). His most famous students include Salvatore Veca and Pier Aldo Rovatti . In 1951 he started the magazine Aut-Aut , which he also ran until 1974. His contributions to this magazine testify to his diverse literary and cultural interests. In 1971 he was one of the signatories of the appeal against Luigi Calabresi, which appeared in the weekly newspaper L'Espresso .

An edition by Enzo Paci has been published by the Bompiani publishing house in Milan since 1988 under the auspices of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan.

Existentialism

The basis for the existentialism of Paci is the relationship between the existence of all events, understood as the condition that form the world. An event is also the I , which is known empirically as finite existence in relation to other existences. By recognizing the pure existential condition of these facts, Paci defines man as a moral personality.
