Luigi Pareyson Piasco (Cn) 1918 - Segrate (Mi) 1991

In his research, Luigi Pareyson primarily contributed to spreading, among the first in an Italy then dominated by neoidealism, the German and French philosophy of existence, and then investigated classical German philosophy with fundamental studies on Fichte and Schelling. On his part, Pareyson develops an ontological personalism that underlies a conception of being as non-relationality that becomes a gift, that is, a relationship -a relationship that constitutes the person called to make a choice for or against being, to reaffirm or reject this essential ontological relationship. The ontology of the inexhaustible then implies a hermeneutic conception according to which truth is an infinite source of interpretations, each of which contains the whole, even if in its infinitude. In his last work, Ontology of Freedom, Pareyson outlines a tragic Christianity that seeks to free itself both from theodicy, which erases evil, and from atheism (and the underlying nihilism) that erases God.
