Le sfere e i punti luminosi: la quantità spirituale in Pantaleo Carabellese

This contribution aims at investigating the intersubjective relationship and the relationship between subjectivity and God in Pantaleo Carabellese’s philosophy. A specific attention will be reserved to a critical reflection concerning the concept of “plural unity” which is described by a metaphor which presents an original synthesis between geometrical figures and light. Carabellese in order to illustrate the intersubjective relationship uses in particular the metaphor of brightness and irradiation along with those of point and sphere, while God is described as light. This metaphor allows Carabellese to express something that would remain obscure in his thought.
