The homage of Eugenio Pucciarelli to Felix Krueger in the First National Congress of Philosophy and Theosophy

Abstract

The present work with which we want to remember and pay tribute to the First National Congress of Philosophy, is composed of three parts. The first is aimed at highlighting the essential importance of the cultivation of philosophy in the construction of culture and the political order of a society and a country, an end taken into account by the managers of the National Congress of Philosophy of 1949, which manifests and ratifies the quality of the organization, the excellence of the majority of the international and national participants of the meeting and the breadth of the topics discussed and discussed in the sessions. The second part focuses on the analysis of the content of a literary discovery, Eugenio Pucciarelli's tribute speech to the psychologist and thinker Félix Krueger who taught in Argentina for less than five years, to return to Germany later to occupy his chair in Leipzig. In third place, an excerpt from the book by Krueger selected in Pucciarelli's intervention: The dimension in depth and the contrasts of the emotional life, opens an unexpected aspect of medieval and modern German thought and allows to ratify the importance of outstanding German theosophy in Jacob Böhme - with background in Master Eckhart, the Abbot Trithemio and Nicholas of Cusa - in the deep influence subsequent to Luther of the Silesian thinker or philosophus teutonicus within the pious currents and the intellectual agreements and polemics with G. Hegel, F. Schelling and F.J. von Baader.
