La fenomenologia della morte. Una riflessione sulla Conrad-Martius di Angela Ales Bello = The phenomenology of death. A reflection on the Conrad-Martius by Angela Ales Bello

Abstract

This contribution analyzes the theme of death through phenomenology, focusing on the thought of Angela Ales Bello and Hedwig Conrad-Martius. By examining Ti racconto l'aldilà, Ghigi explores death as a transition to a new form of life and temporality. The Husserlian approach, as interpreted by Ales Bello, allows for a subjective, mystical, and ontological inquiry into death. Central to this is Conrad-Martius's concept of entelechy, which views reality as a vital dynamism animated by spiritual forces. Matter is thus seen as meaningful energy oriented toward evolution. Death becomes transformation and regeneration. The entelechial soul naturally seeks a new body. This phenomenological-Christian perspective offers a philosophical understanding of the afterlife and bodily resurrection, reinterpreting human destiny in light of the invisible and eternal.
