Esistenza, tempo e pensiero. La prospettiva di Nunzio Incardona

The essay explores a moment of Nunzio Incardona’s philosophical path in the early ’70s, when the philosopher was looking for a way to develop the Selb- stdenken. Incardona’s analysis on the self-sufficiency of the existence works in this context as a critical principle that rules out subjectivist or activist solutions, as they oppose the activity of thought to the passivity of acknowledgment of the principle. For Incardona instead the way towards the Selbstdenken starts from the comple- xity of what he calls the assumption of the principle.
