Radical Problematicity and Philosophical Propaedeutics

Theoretical Perspectives in the Light of Enrico Berti’s Reflections

Abstract

The text considers the notion of philosophical problematicity in Enrico Berti's thought, comparing it with similar insights from contemporary authors, and concludes with a discussion about radical problematicity as coessential to philosophical inquiry at every stage and in every field. Speculative problematization emerges as an intrinsic criterion of authenticity in philosophical thought, in all its unfolding, proving vertical and omnilateral, indispensable and unavailable, both from the propaedeutic-heuristic and epistemic-theoretical perspectives.
