Guido Calogero

Guido Calogero (born 4 December 1904 in Rome, died in 1986 in Rome) is an Italian philosopher and historian of philosophy. In 1931-1934 Calogero was a professor of philosophy at the University of Florence, in the years 1934-1942 of the University of Pisa. In 1942 he was arrested for anti-fascist activity. From 1948 to 1950 he was a professor at the University of Montreal, 1950-1955, director of the Italian Institute of Culture in London, 1951-1974 professor in Rome. In Rome he founded the "La Cultura" magazine in 1963, where he was editor-in-chief.

Calogero is the leading representative of the leftist of the current, influential group of Italian philosophers, who, while referring to the idealism of the current Giovanni Gentile, is, however, trying to break away from the links of this philosophical direction to fascism, while leaning toward the left. Calogero himself is the so-called theorist. and his philosophical convictions make up the "philosophy of dialogue" ("dialogue"). Liberalism is a coherent, coherent combination of liberalism and socialism, a political program that defines "liberalism" (Difesa del liberalsocialismo, Rome 1945). The liberalism movement was adopted by the political party Partito d'Azione, which was very active on the Italian political scene after the fall of Fascism, which called for the harmonious coexistence of the private and socialized economy. Calogero's Dialogue (Milano 1962) expresses similar ideas of eclecticism and leads to contradictory tendencies like his proposal for a reconciliation of liberalism and socialism - to represent a sort of alternative to the Marxist conception of development, for the dialectic as the antithesis. Of particular importance for Caloger, the philosopher of secular and secular religions, the agreement of secular and religious thought, which is one of the main factors shaping his views.
