The book presents a groundbreaking hypothesis linking modal ontology to the mathematical discourse on incommensurable magnitudes, which underpins Plato's dialogues and culminates in defining being as dynamis in the Sophist. It posits that these incommensurable magnitudes, or dynameis, resolve the issue of non-being and establish a foundation for a philosophy centered on difference and becoming. This transition signifies a shift from measurable rationality to one of mediation, influencing the trajectory of philosophical thought from Kantian transcendentalism to Hegelianism and hermeneutics.
