Abstract

This paper offers a brief survey of the influence of Kantian and neo-Kantian philosophy on Italian philosophy of science. At the core of the story stands Giulio Preti, a former disciple of Antonio Banfi who offered a sophisticated version of the relativized a priori embracing the historical knowledge too.
