This article introduces one of the forgotten figures of religious and literary studies: the Italian scholar, philosopher, metaphysician, poet and writer Silvano Panunzio (1918–2010).

He develops this reflection in the context of his readings of Rousseau’s work, which he gives ethnological and anthropological meaning. In the first part of the article, I discuss the issues of two fundamen...

As a result, traditional criticism has confined her to the margins of 20th-century literature and philosophy. Re-examining Sinclair’s involve...
