This book offers a new and original hypothesis on the origin of modal ontology, whose roots can be traced back to the mathematical debate about incommensurable magnitudes, which forms the implicit background for Plato’s later dialogues and culminates in the definition of being as dynamis in the Sophist. Incommensurable magnitudes – also called dynameis by Theaetetus – are presented as the solution to the problem of non-being and serve as the cornerstone for a philosophy of difference and becoming. This shift also marks the passage to another form of rationality – one not of the measure, but of the mediation. The book argues that the ontology and the rationality which arise out of the...
Io e Silvana siamo convinte che i cambiamenti significativi iniziano soprattutto da noi stessi e dalle nostre straordinarie risorse che possediamo e ritroviamo in un’esperienza “oltre il pensiero”. Così il domani sarà un giorno diverso, pieno d’emozioni, di caldo e di freddo, quei sentimenti che caratterizzano tutta l’esistenza umana e noi ci sentiremo liberi e consapevoli perché ascoltandoci e mettendoci in gioco avremo ritrovato noi stessi. Infine se collochi specifici incontri, avvenimenti, situazioni, apparentemente inspiegabili “Oltre il pensiero”, si troverà sempre almeno una verità nascosta, quella verità per la quale vivere la vita ne vale sempre la pena.

Michel Foucault and Paul Veyne: the philosopher and the historian. Two major figures in the world of ideas, resisting all attempts at categorization. Two timeless thinkers who have long walked and fought together. In this short book Paul Veyne offers a fresh portrait of his friend and relaunches the debate about his ideas and legacy. ‘Foucault is not who you think he is’, writes Veyne; he stood neither on the left nor on the right and was frequently disowned by both. He was not so much a structuralist as a sceptic, an empiricist disciple of Montaigne, who never ceased in his work to reflect on 'truth games', on singular, constructed truths that belonged to their own time. A unique testimony by a scholar who knew Foucault well, this book succeeds brilliantly in grasping the core of his thought and in stripping away the confusions and misunderstandings that have so often characterized the interpretation of Foucault and his work.
