Abstract

In this essay, the gradual transition from ancient "history of the philosophers" to modern "history of philosophy" is presented according to its essential steps and in the light of the dialectic between tradition and innovation that characterizes any philosophical dialogue considered in a diachronic sense. At the same time, however, the essay raises the question of the sense according to which it is nowadays still possible to think of a "history of philosophy" as a research activity distinct both from philosophical hermeneutics and from strictly historical research, such as the one carried out by intellectual historyIl graduale passaggio dall'antica "storia dei filosofi" alla moderna "storia della filosofia" viene qui ricostruito nelle sue fasi essenziali, alla luce della dialettica fra tradizione e innovazione, che caratterizza il dialogo filosofico inteso in senso diacronico. Ma in che senso è ancora possibile, oggi, parlare di una "storia della filosofia" distinta sia dall'attività filosofico-ermeneutica sia dalla ricerca strettamente storica, qual è quella condotta dalla Intellectual history?
