Book Description
BY ANTONIO ROSMINI EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY H. P. LIDDON, D.D. CANON RBSlDRNTlAHY OF ST. PAULS RIVINGTONS -- PREFACE. - THE author of the subjoined treatise, Antonio Rosinini-Serbati, was born at Rovereto in the Italian Tyrol, on Lady Day, 1797. His father and mother were both people of good family, and considerable fortune. Antonio was the second of their four children his elder sister became a nun, and his youngest brother died in infancy. His parents were educated and devout members of the Church arid the atmosphere of his home must have fostered the intellectual and devotional tendencies which made him what he became in later years. The boy studied first at the gym- nasium of Rovereto, and then for two years at home, under a tutor, P. Orsi, whose instructions in philosophy had a considerable althougl ap- parently an indirect and unintended influence on his later life. When eighteen or nineteen years of age, he determined to take Holy Orders. His I . . v111 Edito Preface. parents at first met this resolution on the part of their eldest son with a determined opposition. But his love for God and for his fellow-men seemed to impel him to the one calling in life which afforded the highest opportunities for its practical exercise and in 1817, at the age of twenty, he began his theological studies at Padua. His father died in 1820, leaving him the bulk of his property he was ordained priest in 1821, and then, a8fter a short visit to Rome, he settled down at his old home in Rovereto. Rosminis boyhood happened on a time when Italy was yet reeling under the effects of the First French Revolution when old institutions had largely crumbled before the irruption of the armies of the Directory, and old beliefs were still more rudely assa,iled or undermined by the inva- sion of infidel thought. Rosminis mind fully opened just as the religious reaction was making itself felt and he shared the aspirations of the best young men of that day in desiring to do something towards restoring Religion to its true place in human life. After his ordination, he spent six years in his ancestral home, laying out his time between severe study, and prayer, and Editors Preface. ix exercising his ministry among the poor of the surrounding villages. During these years, he worked hard at philosophy, mainly with a view to its bearing on Christian Apologetics but he also conceived and shaped the idea of a religious institute, which should promote holiness and learning among the members and teachers of the Church. At first it was to be lay then lay and clerical. In 18 26 he removed to Milan, where he began to publish while, under the influence of Loewenbruck, he set himself to the task of organ- izing his projected order. Thence, in February, 1828, he retired to Domodossola, the pretty Pied- montese town, which the traveller remembers at the Italian foot of the Simplon Pass. Here in the cold winter months he took up his abode in a. ruined house on the top of the adjacent Calvary, where he led a life of great austerity abstaining from animal food, often from food altogether, sleeping on leaves or on the dry ground, and devoting his energies to reading, thinking, and writing. Here he wrote a large part of his Nuovo saggio sull Oriyine dellt. Idee, and constructed the Rule of his Institute. But his health soon broke down under the strain and exposure and X Editors Preface. - - - after a visit to his home at Rovereto, he made his way to Rome, where he remained fi-om November, 1828, until March, 1830, in order to secure the encouragement and sanction of Pius VIIT... ...

From the author: [In his encyclical Fides et ratio, John Paul II favorably cited Antonio Rosmini. Since many propositions taken from Rosmini's thought had been proscribed by the 19th-century magisterium, such citation called for a rethinking on the part of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In a Note issued in 2001, its prefect, Joseph Ratzinger, explained how the earlier censure of Rosmini could now be reconciled with his current rehabilitation. Using categories drawn from Thomas Kuhn, the present article examines the Note and its admissions regarding paradigm-based rationality.]
