These magnitudes, referred to as dynameis by Theaetetus, are considered the solution to the problem of non-being and serve as the foundation for a philosophy of difference and becoming. This transformative shift also signifies the transition to a different form of rationality, one that is not based on measurement but on mediation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book argues that the ontology and rationality that emerge from the discovery of incommensurable constitute a thread that runs throughout the entirety of philosophy, leading to Kantian transcendentalism and the philosophies derived from it, such as Hegelianism and philosophical hermeneutics. Readers will engage in an insightful exchange with some of the most fundamental issues in philosophy, reconsidered from the perspective of an ontology of the incommensurable. These issues encompass the infinite, the continuum, existence, and difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis text is particularly appealing to students and researchers in the fields of ancient philosophy, German idealism, philosophical hermeneutics, and the history of mathematics. It offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on these subjects, challenging traditional understandings and opening up new avenues for exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 308g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030690076\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gaetano Chiurazzi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44282951958778,"sku":"9783030690076","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_ac59cefa-ca5b-4a04-acea-b656711a3aeb.jpg?v=1686916777","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dynamis-ontology-of-the-incommensurable-9783030690076","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
