Abstract

This article explores the moral philosophies of Giuseppe Rensi and Giovanni Papini, focusing particularly on their existential features. In fact, both of them think that moral is not a rational product, but an irrational instinct; as such, the moral instinct is an existential exigency which impels human beings to act against the common sense's rationality and utilitarianism. In other words, because of its irrational nature, the moral instinct is a kind of madness and a virtue of genius.
