Abstract: Make a comparison between Fichte’s and Giovanni Gentile’s philosophy it’s a difficult task, even if through careful analysis of the central themes of the two authors, this comparison can be made, particularly in reference to the theme of the action: this concept leads in both to the consideration of reality as immanent. This vision of reality, together with the strong moral connotation of their philosophy, makes the task we set ourselves less complicated, and it allows me to affirm how in their thought there are moments of great originality, such as to be able to withstand the challenges of contemporary philosophy, rather than being relegated to a marginal position, which considers them as a moment of transition between Kant’s criticism and Hegel’s idealism. The central theme of this paper will be, therefore, the Fichte’s and Gentile’s personal vision of idealism that springs from the concept of action, which maintains a constant tension between different elements, allowing the production of a reality characterized by a radical transcendental vision, therefore immanent. Later, such immanence, in the development of thought from the theoretical to the praxis, assumes meaning and explicability in a sort of transcendence, and this apparent contradiction will be addressed in the second part of my paper: I try to demonstrate how the two authors can still make an important contribution to contemporary philosophy, especially in relation to metaphysical issues, that in our days are often understood as something anachronistic and not very functional to the development of scientific thought.

Per una “dialettica della trascendenza”: cristologia e storia nelle Predigten di Schleiermacher sulla Confessione di Augusta
Abstract: The ten sermns on the Confession of August they were kept from Schleiermacher, between the June and the November of 1830, on the occasion of the third centennial of the presentation to the emperor Carlo V of the Confession of August, where he confirmed that ecclesiastical communities, constitute in the German territory following the Reform of I will Lute, they didn’t remove at all him from the dogmatic trinitarian and cristologica of the ancient Church. For Schleiermacher, instead, the document of August it enacts the resumption of the process of spiritual liberation begun by Christ, and is goes lost during the time. Christ is the center, the heart, of the dialectical athletic contest between man and God, and between man and world. The Gospel of Christ enters the world and valorizes the human experience beyond all the forms of thought and to the human experience beyond the same confessional orthodoxies. This contribution intends to proceed in the following way: after a brief historical panning on the Confession of August and the motives that have conducted the preacher of Breslavia to hold well ten sermons on it, we will analyze the content of the sermons and their principal themes, which have as base the whole figure of Christ, the Savior and his/her message. Just the Christ, as Urbild, in comparison to himself and to Vorbild and we, in comparison to us and to our imitatio, it will be to the center of a further reflection that he/she tightly sees connected to the sermons the great systematic work of Schleiermacher: the Glaubenslehre.
