Review Quotes: "What is Severino looking for in language and beyond? Definitely not something that transcends words, but the appearing of that incontrovertible originary structure that announces itself as much in the said as in the unsaid. The various ways of saying and translating reveal in this way a horizon that is eternal. An intentional challenge to the modern philosophies of language, Severino's text presents a radical ontology supported by a most stringent logic." --Ugo Perone, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Turin, Italy.
