Benedetto Croce (1866-1952)
Italian philosopher, was born at Pescasseroli, Aquila, and was educated at Naples and Rome. He began in 1902 an exposition of what he called the philosophy of the spirit. A basic concept is the identity of concrete philosophy and history.
Through his periodical, La Critica, he deeply influenced Italian literature. He was made a senator in 1910 and after Mussolini's fall took a prominent part in the reconstruction of the government.
Among his many works are: Esthetics; History, Its Theory and Practice; Goethe; Europe in the XIX Century; and his Autobiography.
