Abstract
It was primarily the appeal of Husserl’s “scientific” approach to the foundation of knowledge that brought about the diffusion of his phenomenology in Italy in the 1920s. A large part of the interest consisted in a reaction against the idealism which had dominated Italian philosophy from the early years of the twentieth century. This was the case with such thinkers as Bobbio and Banfi, who opposed idealism as well as the spiritualist or neo-Thomist philosophy then cultivated in certain academic quarters, and who, in their dedication to “rational” and “antimetaphysical” knowledge, can be considered as having provided the original inspiration for positivism.
