QUAESTIO 10 (2010)

Quaestio is dedicated to the reconstruction of the history of important concepts and themes of the metaphysical tradition. It aims at examining their ancient or medieval origins and their reception, transformation or rejection in modern and contemporary philosophy. The main focus is the transition from medieval philosophy to the early modern period and covers numerous concepts (like cause, substance...) as well as the discussion of other disciplines at the boundaries of metaphysics itself.

Quaestio è un progetto editoriale dedicato alla ricostruzione della storia di alcuni dei più importanti temi e concetti della tradizione metafisica, dalla loro origine antica e medievale fino alla loro ricezione, alla loro trasformazione o eventualmente anche al loro rifuto nella filosofia moderna e contemporanea. Il suo fuoco prospettico è rappresentato soprattutto dalla transizione dal pensiero medievale a quello moderno. Quaestio include anche la storia di numerosi concetti scientifici (come quelli di causa, sostanza ecc.) nonché la tematizzazione di altre discipline per così dire "confinanti" con la metafisica stessa.
