Garin e Paci: filosofia, storia, antifilosofia

On the other hand, through the public and private debate with Enzo Paci, the essay will be delve into the relationship between philosophy and temporality.This will show the difficulties of the encounter between historicism and phenomenology in the post-war Italian philosophical debate.
