Summary/Abstract: The present paper is intended to answer, first of all, the question related to the reason of existence, starting from the premise that the historical moment when a man understands his destiny is the one when being is revealed to him in its true historicity. Nowadays, according to the most warned spirits in philosophy we find ourselves beyond metaphysics. The possibilities including apriori synthetical judgements have allowed philosophy to evolve on a second direction of research, which reached its ultimate fulfilment when Hegel formulated in The Science of Logic the principle of contradiction as a positive factor for the dialectic spirit. In Hegel’s Logic the emphasis is placed on difference, diversity and opposition. The present historical moment should have Heidegger’s philosophy as a cornerstone on the long way of reflecting on the essence of man. The key question we are trying to answer here is the following: ”Is the quality of being good human beings something that we should re-discover in our destiny? Through the positive answer it offers, the present paper invites to brief reviews on philosophy, morality, psychology and theology. At the same time it holds the interdisciplinary approach of the ten commandments open. Therefore, it does not offer an exhaustive answer to a certain question encompassed to a certain field of judgement but launches further questions and new challenges for the contemporary man.
