Review Quotes:
"The Resistible Crisis of Italian Thought makes a significant contribution to the study of Italian philosophy, notably by critically engaging with the dominant framework established by Roberto Esposito. The volume's individual chapters examine Italian political and metaphysical thought through a diverse array of themes, including political praxis, ontological personalism, biopolitics, aesthetics, and feminism. In doing so, it presents Italian philosophy as a more nuanced and pluralistic field than Esposito's framing allows." - Paolo Diego Bubbio, University of Turin
