Abstract

The aim of this article is to clarify the sense of the term «fundament» in the philosophy of Zubiri and the possibility of thinking a foundation of knowledge on this basis. The conclusion is that this sense does not make reference to the pretension of founding in a universal sense, but to the intent of overcoming the different forms of nihilism as diagnosed by Nietzsche and therefore to an existentialist sense of fundament, which denies the skeptical relativism but remains open to a perspectivism which is rooted in reality.
