Italian term or phrase: che mette capo a
L'argomento sull'amore verso il prossimo ci porta di necessità ad approfondire il concetto di persona, ma oltre tutto a chiarire il significato di moralità, cui spesso ci siamo richiamati, rispetto al problema della vita associata. Faremo perciò riferimento a quella corrente del pensiero attuale, come è stato già fatto altrove, che ***mette capo allo*** «spiritualismo cristiano».
