Abstract

The economist and first president of Italian Republic Luigi Einaudi fixes the fulcrum of his thinking in the liberty. In this paper, the author illustrates Einaudi’s concept of liberty, about three spheres: individually, social and spiritually. There isn’t liberty without a limit of this liberty and the last, superior limit of liberty is what Einaudi appeals “the incantation of liberty”. The author illustrates the connexion – in Einaudi’s philosophy – between “incantation of liberty” and human elevation towards the platonic “divine city”.
