Abstract
The authentic concreteness of thought made possible by the first principle of every being is the basic speculative argument of Italian critical ontology. In the undividable relation between thought and being a direction of thinking in philosophy has been formed in Italy in the first half of the 20th century. This direction is based on Kant’s premises and, in extremely turbulent context of speculative thinking and often in polemics with dominant currents of though, it has pointed out the fundamental importance of the »God issue« as a true philosophical argument. The concept of consciousness, as consciousness of God and from God, within that that exists in (ἐν) Him, made possible by Him, is the proof of the phenomenal unconfined-ness of what is thought, through implementation of the Augustinian-Bonaventurian principles of the Franciscan tradition. The intention of this article is, therefore, to present speculative consistency of this extremely vital school of Italian ontology, but also the most prominent argument of its philosophical reflection, i.e. the concreteness of consciousness in existential being as a manifestation of uniqueness of being.
