Cornelio Fabro

Cornelio Fabro

Cornelio Fabro (1911-1995) was an Italian Catholic priest and philosopher.

He was the founder of the Institute for Higher Studies on Unbelief, Religion and Cultures. He is known for his prodigious philosophical production and his thomistic thought. Fabro was engaged in the renewed reflection on Thomism, especially on the notion of "participation." He has also delved deeper into the relationship of the philosophy of Kierkegaard to Christian philosophy.

He studied the origins and the nature of anthropocentrism in modern thought. Fabro also made a critical analysis of progressive theology.

Life

He first studied biological sciences in the University of Padova and Rome; and philosophy and theology in the Lateran University and Saint Thomas of Rome. From 1938 to 1940, he was ordinary university professor at Urbaniana University. In this last university he was first university professor, extraordinary (1939) and then ordinary (1942), of Metaphysics.

In 1948, he taught Theoretical Philosophy in the University of Rome. He also taught at the University of Perugia. He was the head of Faculty of Education from 1965 to 1967. In 1959, he founded at Urbaniana University the first ever European Institute of the History of Atheism.
