An Essay on Freedom in Antonio Rosmini’s Thought

Abstract

The coincidence of two anniversaries – the thesis of Antonio Rosmini, and the anniversary of the founding of the University of Padua – has become the occasion for the convention on freedom in the intellectual pattern of Antonio Rosmini. Many items have been developed such as biography, history, juridical rights, policy, property. Rosminian thought, anyway, reaches its highpoint in the concept of person, where any real power is highlighted by and based on metaphysical freedom.
