The essay analyzes Ernesto Grassiʼs interpretation of Croceʼs aesthetic reflection in Vom Vorrang des Logos. Das Problem der Antike in der Auseinandersetzung zwischen italienischer und deutscher Philosophie, published in 1940. Starting from a contextualization of Crocian aesthetic thought within the Italian and German philosophy of the Jahrhunder twende, Grassi wants to show how the Crocian concept of expression can be the keystone for an aesthetics of the ‘Offenbarkeit’, in which art becomes the center of an aesthetic humanism.
