The Theory of Mind As Pure Act

This foundational work presents Giovanni Gentile’s original idealist philosophy, known as Actual Idealism. Arguing that thought is the only true reality, Gentile maintains that the act of thinking cannot be objectified or separated from the self. Translated by H. Wildon Carr, the book articulates a radical form of idealism where the mind is both subject and object. It is essential reading for students of modern European philosophy and idealist metaphysics.
