Autor: Anita Helena Schlesener

Resumo:

The article analyzes some aspects of Benedetto Croce’s political theory, on the notion of state, as expressed in Ethics and Politics (1994). Croce questions the liberal tradition and its practices and reflects about the concepts of liberty, equality and moral and political responsibility. All action occurs in a historical context that an individual’s decision grasps and modifies in conformity with their notion of truth.
