La creazione di fronte al nichilismo

Abstract

In Etica e ambiguità, Fabris dedicates some pages to the theme of nihilism and the dismay it entails: the fear that everything can be annihilated and that everything tends to be nothing in itself, and has neither consistency nor value. This paper first distinguishes a dramatic nihilism and a ‘ludic’ one and argues about the possible ethical fruitfulness of the nihilism’s dismay. Then it reflects on the anti-nihilist consequences of the perspective of creatio ex nihilo, that does not presuppose anything.
