Che cos'è 'trascendentale' nell'agire presente del soggetto

In order to understand the significance that the concept of ‘transcendental’ plays in the Neo-idealism of
Croce and Gentile, it is necessary, firstly, to ask which features a possible transcendentality of the Act may
have. In fact, both Croce and Gentile (although, at least apparently, especially Gentile) ground the
elaboration of their own philosophical perspective precisely on the concept of Act. But both the act of
thinking in Gentile and the spiritual act in Croce are transcendental syntheses of a content that is itself
transcendental. Consequently, the Neo-idealistic philosophy shows how the transcendental ends up making
circularly possible only itself and so abandoning the 'empirical' to the absolute empirical character of its
existence (i.e. as given in fact rather than in principle). The contribution raises, at this point, the question
about whether the Neo-idealism of Croce and Gentile, in succeeding in such an involuntary result, ends up
revealing the irremediable conflict of Kant's critical idealism with itself, according to the conclusions of the
examination of Kant's trascendental Analytics carried out by Luigi Scaravelli in the essays that he dedicated
to the thought of the philosopher of Königsberg.
