The end of the nineteenth century brought with it the end of philosophy, or so some philosophers believed. Philosophy's "death" was attributable to two causes. First, there was the translation of all philosophical questions into the language of the positive sciences. Second, there was the translation of Hegel's rational metaphysics into the febrile, pragmatic, subjectivism of Croce and Gentile.
