La creazione di fronte al nichilismo

In Etica e ambiguità, Fabris dedicates some pages to the theme of nihilism and the dismay it entails: the fear that everything can be annihilated and that everything tends to be nothing in itself, and has neither consistency nor value. \r\nThis paper first distinguishes a dramatic nihilism and a ‘ludic’ one and argues about the possible ethical fruitfulness of the nihilism’s dismay.\r\nThen it reflects on the anti-nihilist consequences of the perspective of creatio ex nihilo, which does not presuppose anything.\r\nThe nature of creation is illustrated, also as an action of conservation of being that establishes a relationship between God and the world, without precluding human freedom. It implies the positivity even of matter and the possibility of the non-annihilation of matter itself and of the spiritual entities.
