"This book introduces, in a way that has not been done before, the central ideas from Pareyson's long philosophical career. It opens up pathways for further critical analysis and fills in a neglected history within the broader scope of continental philosophy." — James Risser, editor of Heidegger toward the Turn: Essays on the Work of the 1930s
