Series: The Works of Emanuele Severino

Beyond Language (Oltre il Linguaggio) is one of Italian philosopher Emmanuele Severino’s major works, wrestling with whether it’s possible to think meaningfully outside of the restrictions of language. Increasingly recognised as a truly foundational thinker in the formation of contemporary theory, Severino’s ideas around self-expression, forms of communication and the limitations of language continue are brought to the fore in this book. Beyond Language specifically opens the door to the themes that Severino developed in his later works, including the concrete meaning of self-being and the decline of language. The depth and breadth of Severino’s philosophical insight is as profound today as it was when first penned in 1992, making this first English translation of a key work in the history of continental philosophy crucial reading for those engaged with contemporary theory.

Reviews for Beyond Language

What is Severino looking for in language and beyond? Definitely not something that transcends words, but the appearing of that incontrovertible originary structure that announces itself as much in the said as in the unsaid. The various ways of saying and translating reveal in this way a horizon that is eternal. An intentional challenge to the modern philosophies of language, Severino’s text presents a radical ontology supported by a most stringent logic. * Ugo Perone, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Turin, Italy *
