Abstract

The paper will focus on the evolution that the subject/object relationship has had in the transition from classical Phenomenology to the Phenomenology of life. In particular, we will outline the theoretical path that led the reflection of A.-T. Tymieniecka to highlight the fundamentally metamorphic articulation of the logos of life, the only way through which the natural constructivism of life and the creative ontopoiesis of the human condition can be combined. This phenomenological discovery opens up new scenarios of meaning to deal with the recent ecological problems related to the environment and post-humanism.
