Metaphysics of Beginning and Metaphysics of Foundation

Abstract

We may summarize the starting point of our study in the following three points: (1) Man’s intellect by its very nature aims at the recognition of truth. His will by its very nature is oriented toward the good. Thus man in his entirety, in both his existential structure and his ontological status, basically has being as his end. Man’s orientation toward these ends emerges from the history of philosophy, even though interpretations have been varied, sometimes contrasting and sometimes even negative.
