This paper intends to reconstruct Norberto Bobbio’s philosophical-cultural itinerary by focusing attention on “doubt” as a category of thought. The Enlightenment legacy and its revival in Bobbio’s path represent a key to understanding our contemporary world; dialogue is the correlate of doubt, a philosophical practice that constantly problematizes and critically examines all instances. Bobbio has explored various fields of knowledge, both practical and theoretical, always keeping in the foreground the need to understand through a critical opening; the same political militancy in the process of resistance and liberation makes him a non-negligible voice of high educational value for generations to come.
