La ontología anti-metafísica de Nicolai Hartmann

Abstract

Hartmann's wordly ontology is proposed as a theory of being and reality that, because of its principles, and, in consequence, because of the inner consistency they generate, is bereft from the ideal of trascendency and deepness that classic metaphysical realism pursued. Given that Hartmann reduces the entities, and with them the absolute becoming, to the efective giving as Dasein and Sosein, metaphysical questions as the ones of God, finality and causality, understood as creation, remain completely excluded. Through a set of modal categories, necessity gets reduced to contingency and some causes, that for Aristotle would be formal and final, simply disappear. Causality, as a chain of the totality of effects, transforms itself into a blind category, bereft from all sense and trascendence. Hartmann's ontology is a proof that in the twentieth century there can be science of being without metaphysical elements as God, finality and necessity, remaining in the simple efective giving of things and studying their mode of giving, in a phenomenological way.
