NARCISSISTIC CALL FOR METAPHYSICS

Contemporary culture is often described as narcissistic, with extreme forms of solipsism becoming increasingly prevalent in mainstream thinking and perception of the world and the self. Narcissism represents a human existence trapped in profound subjectivism, where the individual's existential aspirations exceed the possibilities offered by the world they create and rely on. Efforts to use all available resources to achieve personal goals can lead to frustration and create a toxic atmosphere in interpersonal relationships. This paper explores the existential paradox of man and offers a possible explanation by extrapolating the anticipation of the transcendence of his existence from a theological perspective. The theological perspective presented here is an integral part of metaphysical reasoning and has the potential to offer a solution to the challenges posed by narcissism and the naturalistic conception of the world. © 2024, Ecozone, OAIMDD.
