Abstract

Today the concept of human nature seems to get back a centrality in the philosophical discourse and in general in that of the social sciences as well. This centrality is due to the evolution in the form of the advance modern society in which they seem to resurface from an indistinct background all those prerogatives of the species, that can be summarized with the concepts of potentiality and opening, which in other epochs were left veiled in the background of firm societies able to build closed forms that a finished completed existential sense. Particularly the so-called post-modern society seems not more in degree to hold to brake the logic of infinite exchange subtended to the way to operate some economic-monetary relationships; a contradictory logic that while from a side it dilates enormously the opening, on the other side it channels her/it in iron way closing again it in an unidirectional sense. This contradiction is well evident in the total liberty of movement of the capitals accompanied by the restrictions in the movements of people. But once the veil is removed, the opening is evident and can not be anymore socially limited, and the historical-social routine seems so to rejoin the man with its deep vital roots, disclosed by its actual condition of a chronic newborn.
