Abstract

The article situates Gentile’s thinking on the ethical state in the political context in which it takes shape, particularly in the debate on the transformation of the state after Fascism’s seizure of power. The implementation of constitutional reforms that overcame the old liberal state, harmonising the new with the upcoming political order, and at the same time taking into account the main demands of contemporary modernity such as the inception of Fordism, was discussed in the Commissions for the reform of the State that Gentile chaired between 1924 and 1925. In this context, a paradigm of the Fascist State was established that had a great impact on the political culture of the inter-war period.
