Il pensiero politico di Norberto Bobbio e il paradigma della filosofia politica moderna

Norberto Bobbio was, in many ways, the leading author of much of Italian philosophical and political culture in the second half of the twentieth century, not only because he taught this discipline throughout the entire second and most fruitful period of his career as a university professor, but above all because Bobbio devoted the best part ofhis scientific contribution, his intellectual commitment and bis work as a publicist reflecting on politics. Furthermore, Bobbio's reflection on the principles of political action leads to a direct comparison with the "paradigm" of modern political philosophy. This work aims ot reconstruct the relationship between Bobbio's political thought and the modern political paradigm, through the analysis of some of its fundamental elements: on the one hand, the concept of individual freedom, and on the other, the new «modern» model of political organization, i.e. the state.
