Propositions

By Leandro Castelluccio

Propositions is a philosophical treatise of systematic ambition and atemporal vocation. Within it unfolds a rigorous conceptual architecture that traverses, in an organic manner, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, ethics, and political philosophy, with the aim of clarifying some of the most persistent and decisive problems of human existence.

In critical dialogue with the great philosophical tradition-and drawing inspiration from thinkers such as Aristotle and Wittgenstein-the work develops its own theoretical framework for examining the limits of reality and their implications for meaning, freedom, and the idea of God; the nature of meaning beyond conceptual reference; the enigma of subjective consciousness and personal identity; and the most fertile ethical criterion for guiding human action, both at the individual level and within the social and political domains.

Throughout the text, four central theses are articulated that challenge widely established conceptions in contemporary philosophy. From the dissociation between the existence of God and the notion of ultimate meaning, through a reformulation of the problem of meaning and an original proposal concerning subjective experience and qualia, to a critique of traditional ethical models and the formulation of an ethical criterion grounded in objective states of reward, Propositions advances with logical rigor and conceptual clarity toward conclusions of broad theoretical scope.

Without relying extensively on exegesis or on the accumulation of citations, the book develops an autonomous reflection that seeks to disclose the ultimate implications of its postulates and to offer substantive contributions to central philosophical debates of our time.

More than an introduction or a commentary, Propositions stands within the tradition of works that seek to think the whole: the structure of reality, the nature of mind, the foundations of ethics, and the place of the human being in the world. It is a treatise that calls the reader to a radical, sustained, and uncompromising philosophical reflection.
