Review Quotes: "In War, Severino delves into the undergrowth of events, tracing the phenomenon back to its metaphysical roots that hark back to the dawn of Greek philosophy. Although the text was written immediately after the great crisis of 1989, it retains its power, which unfolds in the radicalism of a philosophical analysis that shares Nietzsche's sense of untimeliness, whereby only by going against one's own time and the dominant concepts that shape it, is it possible to reveal its essence." --Prof. Luca Illetterati, University of Padua, Italy
