This paper discusses about an important Book of Pietro Piovani Historical Knowledge and moral Consciousness. It isn’t a simply collection of essays (appeared for the first time from 1959 to 1965), because there is a profound unity in its pages given by the meditation on a specific problem of the knowledge and its consequences, among whom, hence, the slow maturation in the twentieth century of a new sense of the historicity. In the crisis of axiological values the Neapolitan philosopher pays particular attention to the subject of scandal, the individuality and to the question of the common basis of existentialism and phenomenology: the primary givenness of the order as the individuality ordering, observed by Ernst Troeltsch in Der Historismus und seine Probleme. At the root of the historicism in a critical sense is the attempt to dynamize the givenness of the subject in the constitutive “situational” and historical activity. Individuality as “insoluble mystery” of life is contained a core of humanity expanding the modern subject (Leibnizian and Cartesian) bequeathed to the critical Historicism (from Schleiermacher to Meinecke), in line with a process of objectification through which the existing building up of itself as a duty-must expand and improve.
