This book explores the writings of Norberto Bobbio (1909-2004) who
was Italy’s foremost political, legal, and democratic theorist, a
distinguished historian of political and legal ideas, and one of
the country’s most perceptive public intellectuals throughout the
second half of the twentieth century in Europe. Bobbio’s work
offers a unique vantage point for understanding the evolution of
twentieth-century ideologies, in Italy as well as in Europe. His
biography, scholarship, and militant writings were marked
significantly by the vicissitudes of Italian political history, as
the country transitioned from constitutional monarchy to Fascist
dictatorship to democratic, parliamentary Republic. These events,
together with the international challenges posed by the Cold War,
made his life and publications an unusually wide-ranging mirror
into the complexities of European history and politics. His native
country, in fact, provided him with a magnifying glass to
scrutinize the respective principles and contaminations of rival
ideological traditions in a national and transnational key. The
chapters in this volume, written by scholars based in Europe and
North America, combine historical contextualization with historical
analysis to illuminate the complex ways in which Bobbio studied
rival ideologies, examined the relationship between their past and
present, and assessed their potential to forge the trajectory of
democracy in the future. This book is an insightful resource for
advanced students, researchers and scholars of Politics, History
and Philosophy, as well as those interested in Italian and European
Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of Journal of Political Ideologies.
