“Tra” metafisica ed etica Un rapporto all’infinito

Among the different ways in which the relationship between metaphysics and ethics has been considered, there is one that can be drawn from the works of Franz Rosenzweig, whose first part of "Star of the Redemption" was devoted to meta-physics and meta-ethics. Starting from his way of conveying the prefix meta-, this paper will first discuss how metaphysics and ethics are distinct and at the same time intertwined and subsequently how this can happen, supposing that “meta-” and infinite can be joined together. The relationship of metaphysics and ethics tends to the infinite, because every way in which the relationship is thought expresses an effective and not indeterminate way of doing so. Félix Ravaisson, Stanislas Bret- on, Paul Ricœur, Blaise Pascal and the mathematician George Cantor will be the Wegmarken of this path.
