Antonio Pigliaru

Sardinian jurist and philosopher (1922–1969)

Antonio Pigliaru is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Antonio Pigliaru as Sardinian jurist and philosopher (1922–1969).

Antonio Pigliaru was born at Orune in 1922. His recorded nationality is Italy. He studied at University of Cagliari.

Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from Italy matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Antonio Pigliaru died in 1969, aged 47. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
