Μεταβολή. Sulle tracce dell'evento

The event is, according to Plato, a μεταβολή, a turning in the direction of the movement of the universe. He identifies in μεταβολή – between two opposite movements of the cosmos – the principle of all myths of origin. What happens in this μεταβολή? The myth indicates a direction which transcends itself. Plato, ἐξ αλλης αρχῆς (from another principle), points back to the “myth” of the principle of the μεταβολή to explain its importance. What about us today? This work refers to the hermeneutic horizon that opens up on the basis of the proposal of a trinitarian ontology: allowing the event itself to express itself and give itself in its very happening, without wanting to grasp and control the object under consideration. It is, in other words, a form of intelligere that is contemplative rather than objectifying.
