Emanuele Severino, one of the leading thinkers on contemporaneity, responds here to some of the most profound and essential questions raised by philosophy. His reflections are collected in this book, for the first time translated in English. Grounded on the affirmation of the eternity of every thing, Severino’s thought is one of the most original contributions to philosophy, that opens up paths hitherto unknown to its universe.
Emanuele Severino, academic at lincei and professor emeritus at università Ca' foscari in venice, still teaches at the università San raffaele in Milan. he is author of seminal works already translated in several languages. he writes regularly for the newspaper "Corriere della Sera". Since 2013, he is president of the bi-annual journal of theo-retical philosophy La filosofia futura (Mimesis). Among his most recent books are La morte e la terra (Adelphi, 2011) and Capitalismo senza futuro (Rizzoli, 2012).
