The Theory Of Mind As Pure Act (1922)

The Theory of Mind as Pure Act is a philosophical treatise written by Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile in 1922. The book explores the concept of ""mind"" and argues that it is not a passive entity that receives external stimuli, but rather an active force that creates reality through its own actions. Gentile posits that the mind is the purest form of activity, and that it is only through the mind's actions that reality is perceived and understood. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part exploring the nature of mind and its relationship to reality. The second part delves into the concept of ""pure act"" and how it relates to the mind's actions. The final part of the book discusses the implications of Gentile's theory for ethics and politics.Overall, The Theory of Mind as Pure Act is a complex and thought-provoking work that challenges traditional notions of the mind and its role in creating reality. It is considered a seminal work in the field of Italian philosophy and has had a significant impact on subsequent philosophical thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
