Esistenza, dialettica, valore nel pensiero di Giuseppe Cantillo

The article aims to place Giuseppe Cantillo’s studies collected in his latest two books, focused respectively on Hegel and dialectics and Jaspers and existence, in the overall research itinerary of the Italian philosopher. The paper seeks to highlight the coherence and conceptual openness of Cantillo’s investigation of history, the human being’s existential conditions, as well as of its theological implications. This meditation is characterized, on the one hand, by the anchorage to the transcendental dimension of thought and, on the other hand, by the adherence to the concreteness of history. These two aspects are linked by the sphere of values, which shed light on the finalistic and personalistic character of historical becoming.
