Gentile

Gentile is a fundamental concept in philosophy, especially in ethics, introduced by the Italian thinker Giovanni Gentile. It refers to the idea that reality and human existence are interconnected through a unity of thought and act. Essentially, Gentile emphasized that individuals actively participate in shaping their reality through their consciousness and actions, blurring the distinction between the thinker and the world. This perspective highlights personal responsibility and the creative power of human consciousness, viewing reality as an ongoing, dynamic process molded by our intentional engagement rather than a static external truth.
