| Summary: | What secret can there be in birth? None, apparently, being a natural fact that all living beings share. Yet it is a theme on which philosophy has returned on several occasions and which was also at the center of the well-known reflections of Michel Henry and Paul Ricœur. After an exposition of the theses of the two authors, where birth is investigated as access to Life (Henry) and in its antecedence inappropriate also from the biological point of view (Ricœur), these pages propose to grasp the secret of birth in filiation. In this theme, already investigated by Levinas and Marion starting from paternity, we will enter from the point of view offered by the Hymn to the Virgin that Saint Bernard pronounces in the XXXIII Canto of Dante’s Paradis, where the Virgin Mother is called "Daughter of your son". Starting from this title we will try to show how this attribute, despite being attributable in an exceptional way to a single Virgin Mother and Daughter, with its event has inaugurated a possibility of unprecedented sonship for every living thing.
