Piero Vassallo Memory and progress
Foreword by John Zeno
Review Progress does not represent the foundation of civilization on the ruins of what exists, but is the result of selection and refinement of knowledge provided by past generations. To demonstrate this, the historian of philosophy Peter Vassallo follows the derailment of the Gnostic and anti-realistic "reason" modern, dark and showing the essence of dissolvers pseudofilosofie of Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Simone Weil, Bataille, Kojève, Guenon Evola and the Frankfurt School. To these true monsters of reason is between the bright Vassallo reinterpretations of Thomist thought, Vico, Rosmini and Kierkegaard in the twentieth century made by real genes such metaphysical - to name only the most representative - Michele Federico Sciacca, Cornelio Fabro and Etienne Gilson. They have been able to disprove the lies being masterfully and lashes to human rationality that made the dishonor of the masters of suspicion and "pensierodebolisti" seated on chairs of banality and immorality. The secularist bias, has now turned into an instrument of destruction, namely the dissolution of that totalitarianism (Del Noce) that lately even whispers from the pulpits, religious conformist theology. The sole remedy for such a crisis situation is not so much a sterile and mummified "traditionalism," but a rediscovery of the active and dynamics of the "living tradition and perennial" of Western philosophy. In fact, Francisco Elias de Tejada as he wrote, "The position that often contrasted the tradition to progress is absurd, since there is no progress without tradition or no tradition of progress."
