ACERCA DEL CONFLICTO ENTRE LOS DISCURSOS "METAFÍSICO", "POSTMETAFÍSICO" Y "TEOLÓGICO"

Abstract

This article analyses the principal aspects of the contemporary dispute between the three «ways of thinking» mentioned in the title. It tries to reconstruct, at the same time, different uses of the said watchwords. The article, in particular, deals with the arguments of Habermas and Apel in fovour of a «postmetaphysical thought», and the reactions in the area of theology. Those arguments are brought into confrontation with Heidegger's and Nietzsche's criticism of the «Occidental Metaphysics». In this context, teh author argues against a theological basis of the theory of rationality, and maintains that the present German Enlightenment involves, against its own conviction, a theological system of thought in the platonist sense. Finally, it proposes possible meaning of a non theological but hypothetical and sceptic metaphysics from a 'tragic' conception of meaning of rationality.
