Abstract
Severino kept confronting himself with Christianity; his starting point was an idea of philosophy conceived as an exhibition of truth, as an elaboration of its original structure. From this point of view, it’s a philosophy that relates itself to any manifestation of the truth, regardless of the ways in which it is thematized, inevitably including faith and revelation. Christianity has always been in relation to destiny, it is the gateway to destiny, an experience that announces destiny, without imposing it. Unlike Severino's philosophy though, Christianity does not claim to exhibit the reasons for the eternity of all things, because otherwise it would not be faith, but episteme. This historical context cannot be ignored, even when it comes to joy, glory, destiny (fundamental terms of Severino's last reflection) and if they happen, they happen in the place of appearing, there is no other place for appearing than appearing in the contradiction of the isolated land.
