Contraddittorietà del nulla e implicazioni di proprietà e relazioni nella manifestazione formale dell'essere

This paper critically analyzes the naturalistic thesis of the necessity of the universe and firstly states its scientific unprovability. Then, with further arguments, it refutes this thesis, proving that the reasons for the existence of the universe cannot be found in the universe itself. Afterwards, starting from this conclusion and Leibniz’s well-known observations concerning being and nothingness, the work demonstrates that nothingness is inconsistent and that the existence of the world implies a totally simple foundation. The paper also shows the incompatibility of a nihilistic conception with the existence of properties and relationships, which the logic that governs the world and makes it intelligible is based on. Finally, the work proves that the cosmos does not derive from the foundation necessarily, but according to an intentional finalism, and that therefore the cosmos exists due to a choice.
