Abstract

The chapter by Ilaria Vigorelli is a follow-up to the previous one and revisits the theme of fatherhood, economics, and metaphysics from the perspective of post-modernity. Freedom is the main focus of the chapter, highlighted by the contributions of Byung-Chul Han and Nietzsche’s heritage. The main question is how freedom is linked to the different forms of fatherhood, to different economic systems, and to different metaphysical frames. Is freedom always positive or can it become destructive? What is the relationship between limitations and ends from this perspective? The Nietzschean notion of patricide is critically examined on the basis of its effect on human and social freedom. The theological and philosophical concept of the analysis is relationship and how it is read in the post-modern context.
