Rosmini's Suspended Middle : The Synthesistic Performativity of Genius and Interdisciplinary Thinking

Antonio Rosmini (1797?1855) was a genius who combined science and sanctity. His contribution turns on the theory of the suspended middle of the original relationship between the natural and the supernatural, which he experienced and elaborated. The device of the relationship between the original metaphysical-affective-symbolic structure of the believing conscience and the affective turn in metaphysics, intrinsically linked to his trinitarian ontology, allowed Rosmini to elaborate theories and epistemologies from a unitary perspective in various fields of knowledge. This volume indicates the implications of the unbreakable bond between Rosmini?s philosophy and theology in disciplines such as pedagogical science, political science, and juridical science. Following the favorable resolution of the ?Rosminian question? the Catholic Church beatified Rosmini in 2007 and in 2018 indicated his theoretical-practical approach as a universal education model to be followed. Through essays by major experts in Rosmini?s thought, this curatorship offers an international public a brief, reasoned overview of Rosmini?s thinking on these disciplines, finally translated into English, so that this perspective can be understood and explored with particular regard to the possibility of encouraging ecumenical comparison between Rosmini?s suspended middle and, for example, that of Radical Orthodoxy.
