The Error of Wanting to Overturn the Hourglass: How the Heidegger-Severino Relationship Arose

Abstract

The international conference All'alba dell'eternità : I primi 60 anni de "La struttura originaria"  (60SO) [At the dawn of eternity: The first 60 years of "The primal structure"] had just concluded. The event had achieved the desired effect, and the feedback in the media and on the web was extremely positive. Severino did not need to attract attention or create situations that would focus on him, but the opposite was true, i.e. it was those who deeply knew "his discourse" and had studied his texts who needed to discuss what they had understood. Nobody knew that Severino would leave us a year-and-a-half later, but among these same scholars, the desire to not waste any more time was intense.
