Cur Deus Homo? Metafisica della correzione dell’essere

The essay raises a traditional theological-philosophical question (why did God become man?), to which it tries to give an answer in line with tradition. We can imagine the Menschwerdung Gottes as a machine that prints a different world. This fixing (the work of the mechanics of incarnation) promises an overcoming of the limits of nature, of which resurrection is the fundamental figure. In repairing Adam's guilt, Christ acts as a device, whose work consists in branding being itself with the seal of goodness, operating an inversion of Being. Reparation certainly unlocks (or at least strengthens) the possibility of a human culture of kindness, but this is not its specific task. This consists in the ontological (and not only cultural) subjugation of nature to spirit, of force to goodness. So that the blind can see, the crippled can walk, the dead rise.
