Pio Colonnello has privileged some themes of research: the investigation on authors and themes included between transcendental criticism and phenomenological thought (by Kant to Husserl); the reflections on the fundamentals problems of philosophy of existence and of contemporary hermeneutics (Heidegger, Jaspers, Ricoeur, Pareyson, Arendt); the analysis of some positions of the contemporary historicism between Europe and Latin America (Croce, Ortega y Gasset, Gaos, Ímaz, Nicol, Dussel). His proposal is to verify the interaction, in a historical and critical view, of the fundamental themes of Kantism, phenomenology and philosophy of existence.
