Il sentire come richiamo

In brief

Marcello Neri discusses the philosophical and theological implications of human feeling in an article for SettimanaNews. He examines the concept of "feeling" as a movement or a way of directing oneself toward something, suggesting it acts as a response to a call.

Neri uses Ugo Perone's book, La verità del sentimento, to explore how the act of feeling connects to the ideas of thinkers such as David Hume and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He notes that the etymology of the verb suggests a movement toward a destination, framing the experience of feeling as a way to understand romantic and post-romantic thought.
