Immanenza di Dio e Umkehrung der Subjektivität

Starting from the event of the death of God, and from his philosophical conceptualization by Hegel, the article aims to show how the immanence of God – fulfillment of the Christian religion – involves a conversion (Umkehrung) of subjectivity as the sublation of its immediate singularity. In this regard the distinction between religious Cultus and ethical Cultus takes on a special role: the religious Cultus opens the way to the realm of transcendence, for which subjectivity give itself away to participate in bliss; the ethical Cultus instead inaugurates a new type of subjectivity, for which the recognition of the God’s immanence constitutes a perpetual experience, no longer tied to the singularity of the feast. Only through this Umkehrung der Subjektivität the conscience sublates its natural singularity to recognize itself as spiritual intersubjectivity.
