Pensare l'infondato. Una lettura di Schelling a partire dal corsodel 1936 di Martin Heidegger

In his 1936 lecture-course on the Philosophical Inquiries into the Essence of Human Freedom Heidegger notices a tension towards a non-metaphysical ontology in Schelling's philosophy, and in particular in the introduction of the thought of the not-being into the one of being, of the non-ground (Un-grund) into the one of ground (Grund). What I aim to show, in the wake of Heidegger's interpretation, is how the attempt of thinking of a deity as a guarantee of the rationality of finite existence clashes, not only in the Inquiries but also in the Philosophy of Revelation, with the need to acknowledge irrational, unchosen and therefore unfounded conditions at the basis of God's manifestation: contrast, opposition, the existence of evil.
