Abstract

Con elegante scetticismo Karl Löwith solleva un dubbio radicale intorno a uno dei miti fondatori della modernità, quello secondo cui l’uomo è o fa la propria storia. Questo convincimento trova nella filosofia della storia di Hegel - e nel motto di Schiller che ne compendia il senso: Die Weltgeschichte ist das Weltgericht - la propria formulazione esemplare. Nella prima fase della sua produzione, Löwith critica i presupposti antropologici, l’idea di uomo che sta alla base della riflessione modernasulla storia. A ciò egli contrappone un’etica del limite rispettosa del carattere ambiguo della libertà umana.In a skeptical attitude Karl Löwith raises a doubt on one of the founding myths of modernity, according to which man is and makes his own history. This idea has in Hegel’s philosophy of history - and in Schiller’s saying that captures well its meaning: “Die Weltgeschichte ist das Weltgericht” - its exemplary formulation. In his early works Löwith criticizes the anthropological assumptions, the idea of man which lies behind the modern understanding of history. Against this conception he proposes an ethics of limit being well aware of the ambiguous character of human freedom
