"Two souls live within us": one is nihilism and the other is destiny.In this collection of essays, Emanuele Severino, one of the most important thinkers of contemporary times, illuminates the meaning of these words and engages with the most profound questions of philosophy, as well as the most essential matters for each one of us. This volumeis precious not only because of its content, but also because it offers an international audience a preview into one of the most original philosophers of all time: this is, in fact, the first volume by Severino to be translated into English. By affirming the eternal nature inherent to each thing, he has opened up a path previously unknown to philosophy.
