Page "Giovanni Gentile" Paragraph 13

Ultimately, Gentile foresaw a social order wherein opposites of all kinds weren't to be considered as existing independently from each other ; that ' publicness ' and ' privateness ' as broad interpretations were currently false as imposed by all former kinds of Government, including capitalism and communism ; and that only the reciprocal totalitarian state of Corporative Syndicalism, a fascist state, could defeat these problems which are made from reifying as an external reality that which is in fact, to Gentile, only a thinking reality.

Whereas it was common in the philosophy of the time to see the conditional subject as abstract and the object as concrete, Gentile postulated the opposite, that the subject is the concrete and the object is an abstraction ( or rather, that what was conventionally dubbed " subject " is in fact only conditional object, and that the true subject is the ' act of ' being or essence of the object ).
