The Theory of Mind As Pure Act (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Theory of Mind as Pure Act

The book which I have translated is intended by its author to be the initial volume of a series of his Philosophical Works. Giovanni Gentile was born at Casteltravano in Sicily the 29th May 1875. He was educated at Pisa and later was appointed to the Chair of Philosophy in the University of that city. In 1917 he received the appointment he now holds of Professor of the History of Philosophy in the University of Rome. He has become famous in his own country on account of his historical and philo sophical writings and even more by the number and fervour of the disciples he has attracted. The present work is designed to give form to the maturity of his philosophical thinking.
