Abstract
Italian Fascism was a contingent phenomenon, but soon it needed to develop an ideology that would merge the ideal impulses that emerged from the Great War, nationalism and interventionism. Fascist ideology was defined over time and in reference to the temporal dimension, that is to say placing fascism within Italian history, which required the development of a specific philosophy of history. Its reconstruction requires some conceptual premises: to recognize in it a perspective interpretative mechanism and to admit that fascism developed it within the framework of a fragmented political discourse. «Enciclopedia italiana» (1929-1937) and «Dizionario di politica» (1940) are the sources for reconstructing a philosophy of history in which the principle of constant linear progress and that of eternal return are found simultaneously, even if they are antithetical. Fascism predicted a political-spiritual revolution and believed to be its vanguard, recognizing mythically the Great War as its founding event.
Keywords: Nationalism, Fascism, Great War, Hierarchy, Mythopoiesis.
