The Categories between Logos and Being. Much more than a (Long) Story

The paper retraces and critically discusses the essays contained in the two volumes at stake, which are dedicated to the << categories >> in the history of Western thought. By shifting freely between the two parts of the project, the proposed analysis aims to highlight both the possible connections and the problematic points that arise from the treatment of concepts so central that they are sometimes, and paradoxically, uncritically assumed. In this panorama the historical reconstruction and the theoretical investigation cooperate, in order to effectively render the richness and complexity of the picture.
