Giovanni Papini'nin Bitik Adam adlı yapıtında pragmatizme bakış

Abstract

Giovanni Papini, who lived between 1881 and 1956, is one of the reformist Italian authors. Many of his written works, especially The Twilight of the Philosophers, A Man-Finished, Gog, The Black Book, had a broad repercussion in Italian Literature and became an issue of debate among Italian intellectuals. Papini not only contributed his works to Italian Literature, he also became a pioneer of such a complicated movement as Pragmatism. Giovanni Papini, who introduced one of the important movements, Pragmatism to Italian Literature in the twentieth century, and pioneered the spread of this movement in Italy, defended his idea in well-known literary and philosophical journals of his period such as Leonardo. In his autobiography, A Man-Finished, Giovanni Papini points out the concerns and the disquietude of the people living in the beginning of his era, the 20th century. He also tries to make the philosophy of Pragmatism, which arose in the U.S., prevail in Italy, and nd a solution to the problems faced by the intellectuals and the society. The autobiography of Papini, the pioneer of Pragmatism in Italy, is discussed within the context of cause and effect relationship. Thus, Papini's ideas are very important in terms of creating a new perspective on Italian literature, and for its development.
