Pagano Mario.
Saggi politici dei principi, progressi e decadenza della società. Tomo I – II
Lugano, Ruggia, 1831. (mm. 183 x 107). Due volumi rilegati in uno in una bella mezza pelle coeva con fregi e titoli dorati al dorso. Pp. LVI, 220; XVI, 378. Nei volumi si raccoglie il pensiero del giurista e filosofo lucano (Brienza, 1748-1799), uno dei padri dell'illuminismo italiano. E 'stato docente di diritto penale presso l'Università Reale di Napoli, è stato giustiziato nella piazza del mercato di Napoli nel 1799 in seguito al fallimento della rivoluzione in città e per tentare di stabilire una repubblica sul modello rivoluzionario francese. Questi scritti sono l'opera più importante del suo autore, fortemente influenzato dalla filosofia di Giambattista Vico, nella loro analisi storica e lo sviluppo della civiltà, ma molto più virulenta del famoso filosofo napoletano, che tende a denunciare le ingiustizie e abuso di potere dispotici, come è avvenuto per secoli in Italia meridionale in generale e in particolare a Napoli. L'autore ha colto l'ira del potere clericale e politico della sua città. Terza edizione.
