Abstract: this volume stems from the desire to remeber the figure and studies of Paolo Augusto Masullo by keeping alive, albeit reshaped in new and autonomous forms, the current of his interests and research. Starting from a profound reflection on the Weizsäcker’s concept of the pathic, Masullo has investigated the ethical-epistemological implications of the relationship between subjectivity and biological structure, the reconfigurations and deconstructions to which the concept of subjectivity has undergone in the 20th century, up to arriving at a true rethinking of the human being, centred on its corporeal, affective and relational dimension. Paticity, subjectivity and relationship are the conceptual guidelines along which the authors of the essays collected in this volume have also articulated, with different accents, nuances and sensitivities, their contributions, weaving a dialogue that, despite everything, has not ceased to produce its fruits.
