This is the culmination of a systematic metaphysics written by a world-class philospher, demonstrating the need for a renewal of metaphysics. As Plato told us long ago, the human being is neither a god nor a beast, but someone in between.
Philosophy too is in between.
This book answers the question in the most comprehensive terms possible. It offers an original understanding of metaphysical thinking and the fundamental senses of being, namely, the univocal, equivocal, dialectical, and metaxological senses. Part I of Being and the Between focuses on the nature of metaphysics, the question of being, in terms of the above fourfold sense. Part II develops a metaphysics of being as between, relative to our basic perplexities, concerning origin, creation, things, intelligibilities, selves, communities, being true, being good. The book calls for a generous hermeneutical rethinking of the philosophical tradition.
