• Resumen

  • The Author considers the post-modern culture a dual perspective. He highlights feedom and affectivity as the anthropological dimensions of our age, that which can be taken up (albeit critically)by the Christian and Franciscan vision. A post-modern culture - that affirms the full autonomy of the subject, and that aims thereby to "liberate" reason and freedom from any ontological or moral ties - would lead to the elimination of all gender differentiation, postulating an absolute neutrality of the ideal anthropological identity. The resulting absence of sexual alterity, and with it, the evaporation of parental alterity, would ead to the extinction of desire, since desire is there precisely thanks to alterity. Consecrated virginity, to the contrary, by aiming at absolute desire, desire of the Absolute, highlights the value of that difference denied by post-modernity.
