La differenza amata. Per una fenomenologia del mistero

The beloved difference. For a phenomenology of mystery - The essay deals with the difference from a theoretical point of view, articulating it in a phenomenological-existential way. The mentioned question is rethought from the perspec- tive of the question of the global sense of human existence. The question of sense opens up the horizons of a mystery, of which the modes and the main figure through which it ma- nifests itself are explored. The mystery of sense is expressed in the mode of an abyssal gratuitousness. It takes the form of an exuberant differentiation that articulates the various re- gional scenographies of human existence. The essay propo- ses a reinterpretation of the well-known theme of conatus es- sendi, placing it under the sign of differentiation, rather than identity, as was the case in the philosophical tradition. The essay concludes with some reflections on freedom, seen as a special articulation of the conatus, which may close or open voluntarily - as in the case of love - towards differentiation.
