storia dei concetti e della loro evoluzione

Abstract

Metaphysics, ontology, phenomenology, epistemology, hermeneutics and genealogy: these areas, despite their diversity, revolve around the same themes and communicate with each other. The latter take on a different character depending on the way in which they are approached: for example the notions of essence and "thing in itself" will indicate something very different if considered first in the ontological context, then in the genealogical one. The very conception of truth seems to differ depending on the context. If in antiquity the being of things was considered indubitable, in modernity only the subject could be said to be such, or at least the constitutive and original relationship that existed between the subjective and objective polarity. Then, especially with analytical thinking, it was clarified that ontological questions cannot be asked without preliminary consideration of the language being used (Quine). This and much more is explained in this volume, in light of different perspectives. A general look at every notion, which, intertwining with the others, weaves the theoria on which everything should be based and in which everything should find its foundation.
