Synopsis "Tautotes. On the Western Meaning of Identity"

The first English translation of Emanuele Severino’s radical critique of the notion of identity, this is a major work from one of the foremost Italian philosophers in the 20th century. Starting from his central intuition that Western culture is essentially nihilism, Emanuele Severino reflects anew on the problem of identity, abandoning the ambiguous (and ultimately contradictory) fashion in which being and becoming are grasped in the Western tradition. In this fundamental 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 peculiar depth – the most renowned philosophical passages from Hegel, Aristotle, Plato and Kant, giving a radical critique of the notion of identity. This book constitutes part of Severino’s monumental theoretical apparatus, comprising a foundational critique of Western metaphysics which sets him alongside Heidegger at the foundation of contemporary theory. This translation of Tautótes will appeal to those interested in the central problems of Ancient and contemporary philosophy, ontology and metaphysics.
