Resumen de Etica e metafisica in prospettiva utopica: ripensare oggi l'eredità di Ernst Bloch
The article describes the current relevance of Ernst Bloch’s thought for a new insight into the relationship between metaphysics and ethics. Bloch’s utopian perspective, on the one hand), implies the elaboration of an ontology of not-yet-being. Such a conception is based on the notion of materia mater and on a metaphysics of fertility. On the other, Bloch develops an ethical conception that is oriented toward the historical salvation of mankind and nature. This philosophical path leads to a reconsideration of both metaphysics and ethics: one is not superior to the other, but rather both clarify each other’s standing. The importance of a critique of nihilism is also outlined in this horizon, which involves a new inquiry into the question of salvation in philosophical reflection.
