The Essence of Nihilism

Zusatztext “The central problem of contemporary philosophy is a drama with only two protagonists: Heidegger and Severino. It is an irreconcilable relationship between these two positions: an aut-aut. —Massimo Cacciari, author of The Witholding Power “Those who have been inspired by the likes of Heidegger, Sartre or Paul Tillich will want to peruse this first offering of [Severino] … If no one talks about metaphysics anymore, … Severino would argue that this is not because scientism or modernity has rendered it obsolete; in fact, quite the opposite. Science and technology are not a refutation of metaphysics, but the products of it.” —Jon Morris, PopMatters Informationen zum Autor Emanuele Severino is Professor Emeritus at Venezia’s Ca’ Foscari University in Venice and Professor of Fundamental Ontology at Milan’s San Raffaele University. He is now widely considered the most important living Italian philosopher. From the Trade Paperback edition.
