Antonio Rosmini and the Semantization of Nothingness

Abstract

The paper investigates the problem of the not-being’s semanticization in the philosophy of Antonio Rosmini. It shows how the problem is strictly invoked by that of the being’s semanticization. The article points out the Augustinian roots of the not-being’s semanticization developed by Rosmini, proving that above all he wanted to refute the positive semanticization of the not-being developed by Hegel, going through a phenomenological critique of the concept of the becoming elaborated by the German philosopher.
