Cornelio Fabro: A Biographical, Chronological, and Thematic Profile from Unpublished Documents, Archived Notes, and Testimonials

Cornelio Fabro, a Stigmatine priest, is one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. He was born in Flumignano on August 24, 1911. For decades he undertook an exemplary pastoral apostolate in the parish Santa Croce al Flaminio (Rome) while simultaneously dedicating himself to the intensive work of teaching at numerous universities, both pontifical and public.

Fabro was internationally recognized for his Thomistic studies, characterized by a historic-critical re-thinking of the texts of Saint Thomas from the perspective of the notion of participation, his encounter with modern thought (particularly Hegel and Heidegger), as well as for his studies and translations of Kierkegaard. His intellectual output includes some 30 books and over 900 articles.
