La existencia, entre el ser y la nada

Abstract

In this paper, (i.), I analyze the notion of existence in the Metaphysics of Aristotle, (ii.) I comment on its transformation after the «modern» appearance of «nothing» (which will be analyzed above all in the concrete case of Kant's critical idealism). (iii.) I reflect, following the reading of Heidegger, on the «foundational» role of nothingness for the possibility of a new metaphysics, after idealism, in the form of a «transcendental» realism capable of «abandoning» the phenomenological intentionality to open itself to an area that is no longer that of the noema and the known, but that of real existence.
