ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER:
BENEDETTO CROCE'S ESTETICA, 1902-2002
PAOLO D'ANGELO
Università degli Studi di Roma Tre
There are many indications that Benedetto Croce was not particularly fond of his most famous, or, at least, the first of his famous books, Estetica come scienza dell'espressione e linguistica generale, which was first published in 19021. This point is demonstrated by his prefaces to some of his editions, notably the third edition in 1908, the fifth in 1922 and the seventh in 1941. All three prefaces indicate a distinct distancing of the author from his work as they call attention to the integration, modifications and corrections that the theory of aesthetics underwent in Croce's other writings after its first formulation, and indicate quite frankly the limits of that
first attempt. In the preface to the third edition Croce writes: "Today, particularly after having examined the various philosophical sciences [the reference is obviously to his Logica and to Filosofia della Pratica: Economia e Etica], I see many things much more clear and better connected, or at least, differently, and I see certain perplexities and certain imprecise concepts, which exist in certain parts of the Aesthetics [...] that would not have been written today".
