Su Rudolf Otto e sulla diffusione del suo pensiero in Italia

This article was inspired by the recent publication of a volume that brings together the Italian translation of Das Heilige and other important writings of Rudolf Otto (R. Otto, Opere, a cura di Stefano Bancalari; numero monografico di «Archivio di filosofia», LXXVII, 2009, n. 1; Fabrizio Serra editore, Pisa-Roma 2010. It explores in particular the reception of this theologian and philosopher of religion's thought in Italy during the first half of the twentieth century by such important figures as Ernesto Buonaiuti (who translated Das Heilige in 1926), Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Miegge and Piero Martinetti.
