In this foundational work in Severino’s philosophy, the philosopher questions the dominant understanding of identity in Western culture, tracing it back to Aristotle’s definition of identity as ‘tautótes’. In his endeavour, Severino discusses – with his particular depth – the most renowned philosophical passages from Hegel, Aristotle, Plato and Kant, presenting a radical critique of identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book constitutes part of Severino’s monumental theoretical apparatus, comprising a critique of Western metaphysics that sets him alongside Heidegger in contemporary theory.
