More quotes by Gustavo Bontadini

All disciplines have being as their ultimate material object; but it must be said that metaphysics has it as its formal object.

Between being and nothingness there is no middle ground.

Philosophy and metaphysics are notorious because of the endless disputes that have always devastated them.

A generic humanitarian sentiment can lead to peace as well as war, to oppression as well as freedom, to violence as well as resignation.

If it fails in this commitment to penetrate the human, to spread socially, philosophy has missed the opportunity offered to it by the times.
