Rivista di filosofia

The Rivista di filosofia is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious philosophy journals. Founded in 1909 as the official organ of the Società filosofica italiana, it continues a tradition that dates back to the nineteenth century, having absorbed two earlier periodicals: the Rivista filosofica of Carlo Cantoni and the Rivista di filosofia e scienze affini of Giovanni Marchesini, both of which ceased publication in 1908. The first publisher was A.F. Formiggini in Modena, and the founding editorial board included Adolfo Faggi, Erminio Juvalta, Giovanni Vailati, Alessandro Levi, Giovanni Marchesini, Luigi Valli, and Bernardino Varisco. The journal was published four times a year (quadrimestrale) and quickly established itself as a leading forum for philosophical debate in Italy. From 1926 until the Second World War, the journal was guided by the philosopher Piero Martinetti, who, although not officially its editor, was its principal inspiration. During this period, contributors included Cesare Goretti, Giulio Grasselli, Ennio Carando, and notably Gioele Solari, who introduced the young neo-Enlightenment thinkers Norberto Bobbio and Ludovico Geymonat to the journal. After the war, the direction passed in 1952 to Nicola Abbagnano and Norberto Bobbio, then in 1985 to Pietro Rossi, and in 2006 to Massimo Mori. Since 2024, the editor has been Luca Fonnesu. Today the Rivista di filosofia is published by the Bologna-based publishing house il Mulino, a cultural institution founded in 1954 by the editors of the journal of the same name. The journal maintains a quadrimestral publication schedule (three issues per year) and is available both in print and online, with ISSN 0035-6239 and E-ISSN 2612-1042. It features a distinguished editorial board and an international scientific committee that includes philosophers such as Daniel Dennett, Pascal Engel, Jürgen Mittelstrass, Kevin Mulligan, and Quentin Skinner. A regular feature is the 'Lettura Martinetti', a lecture published in the first issue of each volume, entrusted to authoritative scholars in memory of Piero Martinetti, one of the journal's illustrious forefathers. The Rivista di filosofia remains a vital platform for philosophical research in Italy, publishing articles, reviews, and discussions across all areas of philosophy. Its long history and association with il Mulino underscore its role as a cornerstone of Italian intellectual life.

The Rivista di filosofia was founded in 1909 as the organ of the Società filosofica italiana, continuing the legacy of two earlier journals: the Rivista filosofica of Carlo Cantoni, a neo-Kantian, and the Rivista di filosofia e scienze affini of Giovanni Marchesini, a positivist. Both had ceased publication in 1908 and effectively merged into the new journal. The first publisher was A.F. Formiggini in Modena. The founding editorial board included Adolfo Faggi, Erminio Juvalta, Giovanni Vailati, Alessandro Levi, Giovanni Marchesini, Luigi Valli, and Bernardino Varisco. The first volume appeared in three bimonthly and two quarterly issues. From 1926 until the Second World War, the journal's guiding spirit was Piero Martinetti, though he was not officially its editor. Contributors during this period included Cesare Goretti, Giulio Grasselli, Ennio Carando, and especially Gioele Solari, who brought in the young neo-Enlightenment thinkers Norberto Bobbio and Ludovico Geymonat. In 1952, the editorship was assumed by Nicola Abbagnano and Norberto Bobbio, marking a new phase in the journal's history. In 1985, Pietro Rossi became editor, followed by Massimo Mori in 2006. Since 2024, the journal has been directed by Luca Fonnesu. Today, the Rivista di filosofia is published by il Mulino, a Bologna-based publishing house founded in 1954 by the editors of the journal of the same name. The journal is quadrimestral (three issues per year) and carries ISSN 0035-6239 and E-ISSN 2612-1042. It maintains a distinguished editorial board and an international scientific committee featuring philosophers such as Paolo Casini, Daniel Dennett, Pascal Engel, Volker Gerhardt, Eugenio Lecaldano, Jürgen Mittelstrass, Kevin Mulligan, Quentin Skinner, and Günter Zoller. A regular feature is the 'Lettura Martinetti', a lecture published in the first issue of each volume, entrusted to authoritative scholars in memory of Piero Martinetti, one of the journal's illustrious forefathers.
