La cifra della distanza. Per una rilettura antropologica della tensione tra l’aspirazione verso l’assoluto e il dinamismo relazionale

Translated title of the contribution: The distance figure. For an anthropological reinterpretation of the tension between the aspiration to the absolute and relational dynamism

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

first of all, we are interested in trying to define, following the most committed anthropological reflection on this front - such as that of the authors of German philosophical anthropology - what the warning of being human beings who, since their inception, have been in relationship with others means and implies; secondly, we would like to try to grasp how, starting from anthropological reality, man's yearning for the absolute is qualified and how this tension must be maintained to avoid a degeneration towards absolutization, which could drag the human towards a dangerous selfish retreat; finally, we would like to try to focus on how, on an interpersonal level, the trust that nourishes interhuman bonds is at stake, and always exposed to disturbing degeneration, to try to approach the crucial question of fiction as a common way of relating between human beings and precisely for this reason as a danger-to-know expression with which a distance is maintained, which can also become pathological, of the self with the other from itself.
