ALMEIDA CAMPOS, Juliane Vasconcelos. THE RESCUE OF METAPHYSICS: A TRANSCENDENTAL ANSWER TO THE CRISIS OF CONTEMPORARY MAN?. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.44, pp.21-45. ISSN 0120-1263.

Metaphysical thinking is an ontological equilibrium factor for man because he looks in himself for an Absolute Being who is, at the same time, his cause and that of all beings. The "death" of Metaphysics of Causality, attributed to Kant, caused the transference of this Absolute to moral obligation, introducing relativism into human thinking and generating, in time, an anthropological-ethic crisis and the loss of authentic transcendence. ¿Would the rescue of Metaphysics be a transcendental answer to the crisis of contemporary man?

Keywords : Reason; Metaphysics; Absolute; Crisis; Transcendence.
