Gentile's philosophy can be seen as a counter to which other movement?
Renaissance
Baroque
Enlightenment
Romanticism
Answer
Enlightenment, the prevailing intellectual movement of the 18th century, emphasized reason, science, and progress. In contrast, Gentile's philosophy, known as actual idealism, rejected these Enlightenment ideals. Gentile argued that reality is not something external to the mind, but rather a product of the mind's activity. He believed that the individual is not a passive observer of the world, but rather an active creator of it.
