Descrição
Resumo:This article is divided into three parts. In the first one, we will evaluate the theme of freedom in Luther’s theses, namely, the treatise On Christian Freedom. In the second part, the same concept will be investigated in the theses of Karl Löwith, notably in his works From Hegel to Nietzsche and in Meaning in History. Finally, in the last and third part, we will observe the definition of the concept in The History of Europe in the 19th Century by Benedetto Croce and in some of Giovanni Gentile’s short texts on religion. Thus, the purpose of the article is to investigate the theme of Luther’s freedom from Italian idealism. In order to do so, we will limit ourselves to the texts mentioned and, through it, we aim to investigate a central theme of Christianity and its interpretation by modern and contemporary philosophy.
