L'ateismo mistico di Julia Kristeva

This research is concerned with the religious issue in the most recent papers by Julia Kristeva, a thinker that apprehends the unquietness and the disorientation of the contemporary Subject and that endeavors to answer to them by proposing a novel Humanism. Kristeva’s Humanism takes shape by questioning the symbolic poverty of our age from some privileged observation points: the Holy, the Motherly, the Atheism. Throughout this route the need to believe is unveiled as crucial: by its pre-religious meaning it becomes the undroppable key to reconfigurate Reason, otherwise doomed to be dissolved into the emptiness of abstraction were it to neglect the deep layers of language where the remnants of all heterogenities unrelentlessly challenging the concept lie. Only within this complexity new spaces are opened to acknowledge and to recognize the Limit, the Feminine and the Real.
