This essay is devoted to the second edition (June 2017) of Enrico Berti’s Introduction to Metaphysics and in particular to the themes of the third chapter (The Problem, the Principle, the Path). In addition, the main objective is to emphasize how the understanding of the Paduan School of Legal Philosophy, at least from the 1980s onward, cannot today disregard the teaching of the Paduan School of Metaphysics, held first by Marino Gentile and then by His students Giovanni Romano Bacchin, Franco Chiereghin and, above all, by Enrico Berti. The Paduan legal philosophers
have often confronted and discussed His teaching and remained influenced by it, especially with reference to the metaphysical inclination to the study of legal experience, conceived in the dual meaning of “pure problematicity” and the necessity of its “transcendence”.
