The sudden disappearance Gian Franco Lami

( Alatri 2008. Giano Accame and Gian Franco Lami, the first to the right of the viewer)

of Carlo Gambescia

died suddenly last Sunday Gian Franco Lami, valiant teacher and leading spirit of the Roman School of Political Philosophy.
The Right more intelligent, educated, honest, not very fond of lights in the society of the spectacle, probably loses a star. And this is where our mind goes immediately to Janus Accame, who died in 2009. We are facing a loss of gravity. We are really speechless.
Gian Di Franco, who honored us with his friendship, would like to mention the ability to quickly grasp the philosophical reason in all matters bearing: its wise to go immediately to the roots of any political issue, even topical. And with great clarity and lucidity of speech. With him was always a pleasure to converse, Socratic, in his study. And talking platonically deconstruct and reconstruct the world around them, trying to go beyond the rhetorical shadows of deception.
The cultural debt to the student is enormous. A Lami we owe the rediscovery of authors such as Adriano Tilgher, just to name one among many lovingly studied. And what about the "discovery" in the wake of studies Augusto Del Noce of which he was a pupil and biographer, Eric Voegelin? Lami virtually "re-introduced" in Italy. Collaborator, always Foundation Julius Evola, Lami, as well as enliven the annual conference, Evola wrote about - taking care of some other works and collections - a modern interpretation of essays disconcerting, not without the right historicist wisdom, typical of his historical-critical approach to political philosophy. As shown exemplarily 's excellent study,' he went out last living Between Utopia and utopianism (2008).
For those who wish, in this moment of great sadness, grasp the spirit of the work of our largest, we recommend you read the precious pages of his Socrates, Plato, Aristotle (2005). Where the wise man knows how to be generous approach to academic practice of life. Practice of that 'being in the world, but not against the world, which his friend Gian Franco Lami was able to best honor the value of his studies and his great human cargo.

How we will miss you dear Gian Franco.
