See also:FERRARI, GIUSEPPE (1812–1876) , See also:Italian philosopher, historian and politician, was See also:born at See also:Milan on the 7th of See also:March 1812, and died in See also:Rome on the 2nd of See also:July 1876. He studied See also:law at See also:Pavia, and took the degree of See also:doctor in 1831. A follower of Romagnosi (d. 1835) and Giovan Battista See also:Vico (q.v.), his first See also:works were an See also:article in the Biblioteca Italiana entitled " Mente di Gian Domenico Romagnosi " (1835), and a See also:complete edition of the works of Vico, prefaced by an appreciation (1835). Finding See also:Italy uncongenial to his ideas, he went to See also:France and, in 1839, produced in See also:Paris his Vico et l'Italie, followed by La Nouvelle See also:Religion de See also:Campanella and La Theorie de l'erreur. On See also:account of these works he was made Docteur-es-lettres of the See also:Sorbonne and See also:professor of See also:philosophy at See also:Rochefort (184o). His views, however, provoked antagonism, and in 1842 he was appointed to the See also:chair of philosophy at See also:Strassburg. After fresh trouble with the See also:clergy, he returned to Paris and published a See also:defence of his theories in a See also:work entitled Idees sur la politique de See also:Platon et d'Aristote. After a See also:short connexion with the See also:college at See also:Bourges, he devoted himself from 1849 to 1858 exclusively to See also:writing. The works of this See also:period are See also:Les Philosophes Salaries, Machiavel See also:juge See also:des revolutions de noire temps (1849), La Federazione repubblicana (1851), La Filosofia della rivoluzione (1851), L' Italia dopo it colpo di Stato (1852), Histoire des revolutions, ou Guelfes et Gibelins (1858; Italian trans., 1871–1873). In 1859 he returned to Italy, where he opposed See also:Cavour, and upheld federalism against the policy of a single Italian See also:monarchy. In spite of this opposition, he held chairs of philosophy at See also:Turin, Milan and Rome in See also:succession, and during several administrations represented the college of Gavirate in the chamber. He was a member of the See also:council of See also:education and was made senator on the 15th of May 1876. Amongst other works may be mentioned Histoire de la raison d'etat, La See also:China et l' See also:Europa, Corso d' isioria degli scrittori politici italiani. A sceptic in philosophy and a revolutionist in politics, rejoicing in controversy of all kinds, he was admired as a See also:man, as an orator, and as a writer.
