L՚interesse per la Rivoluzione francese è costante nella riflessione di Rosmini. Il suo giudizio non sembra subire sostanziali variazioni nel corso degli anni, dalle opere giovanili fino a quelle della maturità. Verso la Rivoluzione il Roveretano esprime una ferma condanna per il carattere astratto dei suoi principi e ne denuncia l՚assoluta e totale inutilità. Al filosofo cattolico preme soprattutto stabilire una correlazione tra la Rivoluzione francese e la realtà storica del suo tempo, un rapporto di continuità tra le dottrine che avevano ispirato l՚evento rivoluzionario del 1789 e alcune dottrine maturate successivamente, tra cui quelle più sovversive dei socialisti e dei comunisti.

Regarding the Revolution, Rosmini strongly condemned the abstract nature of its principles and exposed its absolute and total uselessness. His priority was to establish a relationship between the French Revolution and the historical reality of his time. Rosmini portrays a relationship of continuity between the doctrine that had inspired the revolutionary events of 1789 and the political doctrines developed later, including the most subversive ones of socialists and communists.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
