Summary/Abstract: Our study aims to open up a privileged space to further deepen the original phenomenon of mercy, condition of every being-with and of all effective intersubjective experience. That the human being is already structured by the compassion that constantly exposes him to the suffering of others, that he is capable of experiencing the other in the immediacy of a life that unites to oneself in God, behold an originary truth that no one can avert. In spite of the inner tears that violently pierce the heart of our humanity, we are all invited to launch a lively call capable of reestablishing everything on a culture of the heart which exclusively can provide meaning to all forms of culture and of knowledge.
