In this paper I seek to respond to some of the remarks raised by the authors invited by the journal Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics to discuss my book on philosophy of birth Nascere. Una fenomenologia dell’esistenza (Carocci, Roma 2020). In the first part I discuss some comments on the methodological approach. Then I focus on objections by my interlocutors that allow to clarify and to formulate better some main theoretical points of my proposal. Finally, I deepen the distinction between the categories of natality and nativity.
