Brevi note sul machiavellismo di Filippo Meda | ||
in Storia e Politica , Anno IV, n. 1 , 2012 | ||
Filippo Meda was one of the prominent figures among Italian Catholic politi-cians and thinkers. He was one of the first Catholics elected in Parliament and he was the first among them who became part of the government, as Minister of Economic affairs. His view on rising Fascism was controversial. In the 1927 he wrote for a famous review an essay on Machiavellism in which he shows his opinion on Machiavelli and his interpreters and he criti-cizes Mussolini’s idea of the State. This is an important contribution that helps to understand Catholic position on politics and ethics in a delicate moment of Italian history. | ||
