"Italian Theory" in the Crisis of Globalization

Abstract

The article discusses Roberto Esposito’s "Living Thought" from the point of view of "Italian Theory", a topic that Esposito introduces and analyzes in the first chapter. "Italian Theory" doesn’t aim to emphasize a "national difference" in philosophy in order to resist to the uniformity of Anglo-American globalization, but rather it represents a critical perspective within the "geophilosophy" of today, that would aim to think the difference of a particular philosophical tradition neither as "national" nor as the newest trend of the global academic market.
