Dalle ontologie alla metafisica

Abstract

Going from the definition of ontology as question of what there is and metaphysics as question of the essence of what there is, the text aims to express some considerations about the relationship between ontology and metaphysics referring to Aristotle and Husserl's perspectives. The purpose is to show that this relationship is founded on the same scientific structure of both ontology and metaphysics. It opens nevertheless the possibility of catching the relationship between ontology and metaphysics rather as passage from singular ontologies or regional ontologies to the metaphysics as question about the first principle.
