Pasquale Galluppi was born on the 2nd of April, 1770 in Tropea, Calabria, Italy
Pasquale Galluppi was a professor at the University of Naples, where he died in 1846. His philosophy is a mixture of assent to and dissent from Descartes, the French and English sensists, Kant, and the Scottish school of Thomas Reid. Cartesianism tempered by the modifications introduced into it by Leibniz, Wolff, and Genovesi, was the system in which Galluppi"s mind was trained.
The problem of human knowledge was his chief preoccupation.
He maintained the objective reality of our knowledge, which he based on the testimony of consciousness, making us aware not only of our internal experience, but also of the external causes to which it is due. This theory was aimed at Kant, though Galluppi agreed with him that space and time are a priori forms in the mind.
Against the sensists, he denied that the mind was merely passive or receptive, and held that like a builder it arranged and ordered the materials supplied it, deducing therefrom new truths which sensation alone could never reach. He threw no light, however, on the difference between sensory and intellectual knowledge.
This was the great weakness of his argument against the Scottish school, that the soul perceives not only its own affections or the qualities of bodies, but also its own substance and that of things outside itself.
lieutenant was also natural that Galluppi should be foremost in attacking the theories of Rosmini concerning the idea of God as the first object of our knowledge: and it was this polemic (quiet enough in itself) which drew public attention to the Roveretan philosopher. The morality of our actions, according to Galluppi, depends on the notion of duty which springs from the very nature of manitoba He never made use of the phrase "categoric imperative", but everything goes to show that on that point he did not completely escape Kant"s influence: and although he asserted as the two great moral commandments "Be just" and "Be beneficent", he nonetheless approved of Kant"s moral principle.
Hence we do not find in him any hint as to the connection between the moral law and God, beyond the statement that God must reward virtue and punish vice
Against the Scottish school, on the other hand, he denied that morality depends on the feelings.
Pasquale Galluppi's most important works are: Saggio filosofico sulla critica della conoscenza umana, Elementi di Filosofica; Lezioni di Logica e Metafisica, Filosofia della volontà and Storia della Filisofia only the first volume completed.
