In modern times the side effects of this antidote have emerged, particularly regarding the conflict between the universal and the individual. Starting from Nietzsche the theme of the violence of the philosophical logos has been widespread: from existentialism to anti-Platonism deriving from Nietzsche to Jewish thought. A reaction to the violence of the philosophical logos is present-day relativism. It is nurtured on an objectivistic conception of the truth that has as its result either intolerance or relativism. Only if truth is transcendent and inexhaustible and the relationship with it is mediated by freedom can different positions participate, though in a way that is not immediately evident, in common truth, and this is only accessible through freedom and therefore cannot be imposed.

In the latter case a duplication is certainly justified but such as to flow back into unity. There is only real difference if what the original posits has a dimension of otherness in relation to it. Only by thinking of the original as liberty can a principle be conceived that is capable of positing itself being able not to posit itself (because liberty is beginning and choice) and therefore one can think that what is posited is other than that which posits. This other is the being of the original liberty that has passed through pure beginning to existence. The original relationship of liberty and being can then further manifest itself in that the original liberty, which positing itself posits the totality of being, can posit aspects of its being outside itself. In this way the dimension of otherness is fully displayed because being posited outside itself, in that it is being of liberty, is free being that, though finite, cannot, precisely because it is free, give rise to full mediation with the infinite original. On the other hand, the principle of unity is not lost, but takes on a new form, that is to say that of love.
