Abstract
The article analyses the emergence and development of speculative premisses of neobonaventurianism, a philosophical movement that has been established in the Italian academic scene in the twentieth century and is still promoted, especially at the Chair of Theoretic Philosophy of the University of Perugia. The author takes into account all relevant factors that influenced the doctrine, while paying special attention to reinterpretation and philosophical addendum to critical ontologism that is native to that doctrine and from which the new bonaventurianism emerges as its critical-ascetic version. The article describes in detail the fundamental concepts of the school, lists academic profiles of its proponents, as well as identity determinants of the environment of an Augustinian and Franciscan characterised region of Umbria in which the University of Perugia accepted, promoted, and finally additionally enriched this philosophical doctrine within the network of contemporary and mainly atheistically and agnostically oriented philosophical allegiances in the context of contemporary speculations about this topic.
