FOUNDING A NEW THEOLOGY THAT AFFIRMS THE ETERNITY OF BEING REDRESSING EMANUELE SEVERINO'S INQUISITION TRIAL

This article pursues two fundamental objectives. The first is to promote a movement of thinkers who urge the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith to review the inquisition process to which Emanuele Severino's thought has been subjected. The second is to begin to read Severino's entire contribution as a possible new and radical theology that can contribute to both a new hermeneutics of the Sacred Scriptures and a new scientific orientation that agrees with such theology. After describing some traits of the Severinian perspective (eternity, truth, nihilism), we discuss a few basic concepts from the Holy Scriptures (creation and God's freedom) through Thomas Aquinas's interpretation and amend these nihilistic concepts to show their possible hermeneutical continuity with the Severinian perspective. We then point out some potential and theoretical limits of the present discussion, which can be solved in future explorations.
