La próxima edición del Congreso

The presentations and speeches at the IX edition of WCM have left a series of open reflections rather than definitive conclusions.

  • The unquantifiable regains its reality and legitimacy as an anthropological and sociological field.
  • Without a metaphysics of filiation, there can be no novelty or freedom.
  • The spiritual heritage bequeathed by Christ to humanity continues to be an irreplaceable source of meaning for every culture.
  • In the agape of Christ who gives himself, metaphysics reaches its highest meaning: understanding that to be is to love.
  • Relational ontology today offers a fruitful key to rethinking the world, history, language, family, and society, for a dynamic understanding of God and human beings.
  • The metaphysical perspective teaches us not to reduce reality to utility or the mind to an algorithm.
  • Metaphysics invites cognitive humility. Technological absolutes promise domination; authentic absolutes call for communion.

Metaphysics reaffirms its critical and integrative function, open to dialogue between science and experience, without reducing reality to the quantifiable or thought to efficiency.

Feedback and suggestions
Send your feedback

In the hope that the Conference will increasingly become a space for lively thinking, open to dialogue between science, experience, and transcendence, we have created a short form to collect impressions, suggestions, and proposals arising from the shared experience.

We invite everyone to share with us the main themes they perceived during the Conference.

Your questions and contributions will be invaluable in guiding the way toward the next edition in three years’ time.

WORK GROUPS 2026

Authentic research is not only about expanding the boundaries of knowledge, but also about listening to multiple voices from different disciplines and sensibilities: both experimental and experiential sciences are enriched by metaphysical reflection.
