Carlo Lancellotti on mid-twentieth-century philosopher Augusto Del Noce

Carlo Lancellotti, physicist, mathematician and author of the MQUP title The Crisis of Modernity, was recently a guest on Mars Hill Audio Journal. He was invited to discuss the life and work of twentieth-century Italian philosopher, Augusto Del Noce.

Segment Description from Mars Hill Audio Journal:

Though Del Noce is a renowned philosopher in Italy, he is virtually unknown among English speakers. Lancellotti’s recent translation of some of Del Noce’s essays, published through McGill-Queen’s Press, marks the first English translation of Del Noce’s work. In this interview, Lancellotti describes Del Noce’s interest in the history of European rationalism, particularly in its culminating manifestation in the revolutionary theories of Karl Marx. Marxism, according to Del Noce, is a watershed movement in which rationalism shifts from a philosophy for the well-educated elite to a “religion” that “reaches the masses.”
