Martinetti e il Modernismo: Aspetti della fortuna e della ricezione del pensiero martinettiano in Italia

Martinetti played a connecting role between German philosophy and young Italians of Modernism. In particular, the mediation of Martinetti for the knowledge of the thought of authors such as Eucken or Troeltsch was fundamental. The reception of Martinetti of the thought of the English Jesuit and exponent of Modernism Georg Tyrrell is also very important. The word that appears most often in this reception is “future”. The construction of a future founded on authentic obedience to the inner demands of truth, justice, and good conscience is the sum of Martinetti's contribution to the debate around Modernism. Two correspondence between Troeltsch and Jacini Jr. and (unpublished) between Eucken and Jacini Jr. document the importance of the mediation role played by Martinetti.
