Resumen
Martin Heidegger’s thought was widespread in 20th century philosophy and Catholic theology and well discussed among its interpreters, offering as it did cause for reflection being both interesting and problematic. Among the various philosophers and theologians who approached and debated Heidegger’s ideas, the German philosopher Gustav Siewerth deserves particular attention. His intent was to defend the metaphysics of being from the accusation of oblivion. Gleaning from the works of Thomas Aquinas, Siewerth finds a possible basis for his own interpretation in the notion of the “gift” of the ideal being. For this reason, Siewerth affirms that being is inherently love and a gift, since it realizes its nature of love by differentiating itself, and only recognizes itself in this giving. From its origin being is present to man only as a love that is offered, which gives itself and in which man conquers himself. Considering love as the original form of being, it is its role of founding and giving meaning to being which gives to man and reality their own nature. This study aims to present some key coordinates in Siewerth’s thought to the understanding of being as love, and subsequently to develop a metaphysics of love.
