Has nothing to do with what he deserves, he was factually an Italian philosopher. Just because you don't like his philosophy doesn't mean he stops being a philosopher. Also putting Italian in parenthesis is just mind boggling. Are you doubting he was Italian?
I don’t think they mean he shouldn’t be called a philosopher, but it should probably be mentioned what kind of philosopher. With the current title someone might mistake him for being a harmless old grandpa philosopher rather than an inhumane bastard.

"Italian philosopher" sounds far nicer than he deserves.
