Considering Sturzo‟s autobiographic statement «Tutta la mia vita è stata una continua battaglia per la primauté (come dicono i francesi) della morale nella politica» (1935), the starting point of reflections, the paper develops the fol-lowing topics: 1) the reasons which induced Sturzo to pay particular atten-tion to the problematic relationship between morals and politics in the years 1935-1938 during his exile in London; 2) the central position given by Sturzo to the necessity to re-consider the problems of the relationship between morals and politics in the light of modern totalitarianisms; 3) the methods followed by Sturzo in developing his theories; 4) the problem of the limits of power as a crucial aspect in leading politics back within the moral order; 5) the possibility that a democracy can overcome a period of crisis in the presence of totalitarianism, and the possibility that the limits of a modern democratic state are overcome. | ||
