ALFRED ADLER IN PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT AND IN ITALIAN CULTURE BEFORE FRANCESCO PARENTI AND PIER LUIGI PAGANI

Abstract

After the second world war Individual Psychology is widely spread all over Italy by Treccani Encyclopaedia and Astrolabio and Mondadori publishing houses. The connection with catholic culture already promoted by Adler is on the contrary broken off by Gemelli father, who was favourable just to declare cristian positions. In the philosophical field the adlerian knowledge of man is widened by scholars of moral philosophy such as Remo Cantoni and by science philosophers like Angelo Crescini. Those studies suggest a parallelism between freudian concept of aptitude for civilization and social interest
