CHOICE Review
Outside of Italy, it is pretty hard to find many people who are still interested in the work of Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), once described as "Italy's greatest philosopher." This collection, edited by D'Amico (Canisius College), Trafton (emeritus, Rockford College), and Verdicchio (Univ. of Alberta) attempts to provide both a critical survey of Croce's major works and ideas, and fresh interpretations from a variety of contemporary viewpoints in philosophy, history, literature, and art history. As hard as the contributors try, ultimately they fail. Philosophers will remember the short appearances Croce makes in many texts about aesthetics and the philosophy of history, and indeed, it is the chapters on these issues that many will regard as the highlights of this book. On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine many readers getting excited by chapters about Croce's early studies about Naples. Alas, Croce's day has passed, or so it seems. This book will probably be most useful in large university libraries that support graduate programs in which Croce's work might be covered. Selected bibliography, but no index.
