RT Article T1 Il pensiero francescano nel palcoscenico postmoderno: Riflessioni e prospettive JF Miscellanea francescana VO 117 IS 3/4 SP 517 OP 551 A1 Marazzi, Eduardo A2 Todisco, Orlando 1937- LA Italian YR 2017 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/164208834X AB This article focuses attention on the philosophical and anthropological resources of Franciscan sensibility at a time, like ours, characterized by the presence of the "most disturbing of all guests", and that is nihilism. The intent is to show the possibilities that these resources open beyond nihilism itself and therefore rediscover that at the bottom of all beauty there isn't anything inhuman or a nightmare of nonsense, but the oblative freedom of the Lover; a God of gratuity and not God the ultimate foundation, impersonal, hostage to metaphysical reason. The fi rst part of the work attempts to answer a question that can be traced back: after the fall of the "global absolute", after the metaphysical tiredness of contemporary man, the inability to use effi ciently the conceptual tools of the past, what remains? The second part, by leveraging oblique freedom, understood as the essential quality of God and man and the qualifying trait of the Franciscan School, as Todisco's accurate studies have found, highlights the positive prospects that the post-modern condition opens, in spite of the disturbing presence of scientifi c-technological rationality. The conclusion, as underlined by Todisco, reaffi rms a profound conviction: this is the time of Franciscan logic, a logic of gratuity, which can and must help to orientate us philosophically and anthropologically in the world.
