Died. Benedetto Croce, 86, Italy's famed historian-philosopher, longtime (since 1910) member of the Italian Senate and member (for six weeks) of the post-surrender Badoglio cabinet; in Naples. Born into a wealthy family of Aquila, he went to Rome after his parents were killed in an earthquake and began his study of philosophy. A lifelong agnostic, he believed that the supernatural is no concern of the philosopher ("Man can only know that which he has experienced"), held that philosophy is no more than a method of history. He flirted briefly with Marxism, later with Fascism, quickly rejected both ("to assert that liberty is dead is the same as saying that life is dead"). When Mussolini came to power, Croce retired to Naples, where he waited out the course of Fascism, constantly badgered Mussolini in his magazine La Critica. Il Duce never dared molest "Don Benedetto" (although mention of his name and works were banned from the press) because, as he once remarked: "There is one man in all Italy whom I fear--Croce, and I fear him because I do not understand him."
