Produktbeschreibung

Philosopher M. Oreste Fiocco here examines the question what is a thing? and in so doing, reveals what it is to exist, and what a being, any being at all, really is. In so doing, he illuminates reality as a whole and what it is to be real. Fiocco employs a special methodology to answer this question, called original inquiry, which begins with no assumptions about reality and is independent of figures, trends, or traditions in the history of philosophy. Fiocco shows how this method can confront questions about the world in all its diversity, and thus come to a secure account of what it is to be.
