Abstract

The essay, placing itself within a broader research project, intends to grasp the dialogic-relational status of the human, understood as a subject of relations in relation, tries to confront itself with the epistemic legitimacy, hermeneutic expressiveness and methodological practicality of the dialogic metaphysics by Augustine, enhancing the fact that it represents the red thread that links past proposals with today's existential questions. This not only to find the basic thematic ingredients, but also, in addition to the method indications, to identify the guidelines and specify the fundamental coordinates to solve the problems unanswered by the traditions of thought that have reached today, unraveling the most complex knots, and to glimpse illuminating paths capable of explaining the vital anthropological requests posed by the concreteness of existence and by the complex and delicate situations shown and expressed by the precariousness of the human condition.
