In addition to framing Vergani’s book Nascita. Una fenomenologia dell’esistenza in the interna-tional debate on the issue of birth, the present essay aims at discussing the key theoretical coor-dinates of Vergani’s work. It focuses, therefore, on the concept of the “phenomenology of birth” and on the author’s attempt to follow a double logic: the fidelity to Husserl’s phenomenological system on the one side and, on the other, the “heretical” distancing from it.
