Nihilism and destiny (Philosophy. Contemporary philosophers) - Tapa blanda

Emanuele Severino, one of the leading thinkers on contemporaneity, responds here to some of the most profound and essential questions raised by philosophy. His reflections are collected in this book, for the first time translated in English. Grounded on the affirmation of the eternity of every thing, Severino’s thought is one of the most original contributions to philosophy, that opens up paths hitherto unknown to its universe.

Emanuele Severino, one of the greatest living philosophers, member of Lincei Academy and Professor Emeritus at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, teaches at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan.
