Motilità, potenzialità, e infinito: un’ipotesi su natura e religione

  • Massimo Leone

Abstract

The present paper argues that the deepest dynamic at the basis of meaning consists in its being a mechanism of ‘potentiality navigation’ within a universe generally characterized by mobility. On the one hand, such a hypothesis widens the sphere of meaning to all beings somehow endowed with the capacity of moving and/or perceiving movement. On the other hand, such a hypothesis preserves the peculiarity of human meaning, meant as essentially founded on a certain intuition of infinity. Two corollaries stem from this hypothesis: first, religiosity can be considered as a matrix of grammars of infinity, aiming at regimenting its flight of potentialities. Second, non-genetic transmission of cultural information exerts determinant influence also at the level of that very deep mechanism of the human predicament that is the cognitive navigation of motor potentialities.
