CROCE'S PHILOSOPHICAL WRITING
RENATA VITI CAVALIERI
Università di Napoli Federico II
Taking up the discourse on Croce, on the occasion of the Fiftieth
Anniversary of his death, could benefit, amongst other things, from removing one of the most trite commonplaces in the interpretation of his work, namely, of being a remarkable writer with a style both clear and elegant, accurate and effective, without obscurities or artificial conceptual tangles, but, at the same time, a thinker sometime weak, especially at the key
points of his theoretical argumentation, perhaps because of a presumed definitive defeat of chaos within the framework of the organic system of his philosophy of Spirit. To re-examine his philosophical writing will serve to a large extent to disavow the deceptive praise that would not please any philosopher, even in the era of the greatest power granted to verbal and written skills of communication, on a large-scale. And yet one must take note
of the fact that large part of his influence exercised over an arch of fifty years is due to his writing skills, and one must recognize that he knew how to handle the literary thing, this is how Gianfranco Contini puts it, by adopting the writing technique of literary people1. One should add, however, that the
writer is the philosopher, that philosopher who has played an exceptional role in Twentieth century European philosophical scene, in many ways comparable to the vast success that Bergson obtained in France and beyond.
