      abstract = {This book offers a new and original hypothesis on the  origin of modal ontology, whose roots can be traced back to  the mathematical debate about incommensurable magnitudes,  which forms the implicit background for Platos later  dialogues and culminates in the definition of being as  dynamis in the Sophist. Incommensurable magnitudes also  called dynameis by Theaetetus are presented as the solution  to the problem of non-being and serve as the cornerstone  for a philosophy of difference and becoming. This shift  also marks the passage to another form of rationality one  not of the measure, but of the mediation. The book argues  that the ontology and the rationality which arise out of  the discovery of incommensurable constitutes a thread that  runs through the entire history of philosophy, one that  leads to Kantian transcendentalism and to the philosophies  derived from it, such as Hegelianism and philosophical  hermeneutics. Readers discover an insightful exchange with  some of the most important issues in philosophy, newly  reconsidered from the point of view of an ontology of the  incommensurable. These issues include the infinite, the  continuum, existence, and difference. This text appeals to  students and researchers in the fields of ancient  philosophy, German idealism, philosophical hermeneutics and  the history of mathematics.},
