Emanuele Severino Libri
Emanuele Severino è stato un filosofo italiano riconosciuto per la sua posizione originale, nota come neoparmenidismo. È stato acclamato come una figura imponente del pensiero del XX secolo, paragonabile a Heidegger. La sua filosofia si concentrava sull'eternità di tutto l'essere, un concetto che ha acceso dibattiti teologici sulla sua compatibilità con il cristianesimo. L'opera di Severino approfondisce profonde questioni metafisiche, lasciando un segno significativo nel discorso filosofico.

"'Severino's Law and Chance contains a most lucid presentation of a fundamental aspect of his vast philosophical oeuvre: a continuing confrontation with epistemology and with the theories of contemporary science. Severino highlights the shift between the deterministic paradigm that characterized modern science up to the end of the 19th century and the logic that governed science after Einstein's relativity and the developments of quantum theory. The possibility of determining the laws of chance constitutes a revolution for the entirety of the contemporary technical-scientific system. However, what does chance mean? Does chance already presuppose an order? What turns an event into an instance of chance, if not its being part of an order? Is there then a law that precedes every law of chance? These are some of the questions that render Severino's contribution a necessary one.'" (quoting Massimo Cacciari, author of The Withholding Power) --
Beyond Language (Oltre il Linguaggio) is one of Italian philosopher Emmanuele Severino's major works, wrestling with whether it's possible to think meaningfully outside of the restrictions of language. Increasingly recognised as a truly foundational thinker in the formation of contemporary theory, Severino's ideas around self-expression, forms of communication and the limitations of language continue are brought to the fore in this book. Beyond Language specifically opens the door to the themes that Severino developed in his later works, including the concrete meaning of self-being and the decline of language. The depth and breadth of Severino's philosophical insight is as profound today as it was when first penned in 1992, making this first English translation of a key work in the history of continental philosophy crucial reading for those engaged with contemporary theory.
