Exploring the origins of modal ontology, this work connects the concept to the mathematical discourse on incommensurable magnitudes, which influenced Plato's dialogues and the definition of being as dynamis in the Sophist. It posits that these magnitudes resolve the issue of non-being, establishing a foundation for a philosophy centered on difference and becoming. The book traces the evolution of rationality from measurement to mediation, illustrating how this philosophical thread informs Kantian transcendentalism and subsequent philosophies like Hegelianism and hermeneutics.

Exploring a hermeneutic conception of truth, the book engages with philosophical giants like Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Heidegger to present truth as a mode of being. It delves into the dialogues and contrasts among these thinkers, examining how their ideas shape our understanding of truth in relation to interpretation and existence. Through this philosophical lens, the work invites readers to reconsider traditional notions of truth and its implications for human experience and knowledge.

The essays in this volume, structured like a small dictionary, investigate some themes philosophically relevant to the public sphere, such common sense, death, individuation, liberty, public/private, responsibility, secularization, social justice, and work. They explore some philosophical lines of thought, some paths, within that sphere, which inevitably cross one another, from one essay to the next. Their aim is to show the relevance of philosophical reflection on the public sphere - the place in which philosophy ultimately finds its historical a priori and its very reason for being.

Existenz ist ein Modus. Die Frage, was ein Modus ist, wird in diesem Buch im Rückgang auf die in der mittelalterlichen Philosophie erkannte Verknüpfung von Modalität und synkategorematischen Operatoren beantwortet. Was im Hintergrund steht, ist die aristotelische Auffassung des Urteils, nach der der Kopula eine synkategorematische Funktion, und zwar die einer consignificatio compositionis und einer consignificatio temporis, zukommt. Im Ausgang davon wird nicht nur der Wendepunkt der traditionellen Metaphysik, der Kantsche Kritizismus, sondern auch die neuen Fragestellungen Martin Heideggers nach dem Sinn von Sein, erklärt: Die transzendentale (Kant) und die ontologische (Heidegger) Interpretation der Kopula sind nur auf Grund ihrer mitbedeutenden, d. h. ihrer modalen Funktion, verständlich.
