Il simbolo in Pavel A. Florenskij. Genealogia di un sistema complesso.

According to a hermeneutic way, the research plans to organize the most important philosophical, scientific and aesthetic essays written by Pavel A. Florenskij concerning the category of "symbol" in order to verify the requirements and identify the elements for an organic view about it, drawing its epistemic and regulative character. Through a deconstruction of leading theological comment, the work will deepen the philosophical and scientific foundation that build the layers of Florenskij’s thought. As Solov’ëv says: "before being translated in theological terms, thought is justified as a convergence of physical, magnetic and theurgic forces". Therefore the research follows the need to regulate a kind of a-theological (not atheistic) study that can decline the relationship between unity and variety, typical of the russian philosophy, through a dialectic that relates the genetic locations of the symbol (number transfinite, icon, word) in Florenskij with their respective fields of discontinuity (real numbers, space, language), establishing a constant figural type as a matrix for each one. The author's philosophical thought is discovered thus adhering to a generative complex system, whose interdisciplinary properties confirm its importance for contemporaneity.
