Ernesto Grassi
Grassi sought to take up the Heideggerean Destruktion of metaphysics, grounding his philosophical enterprise instead in the tradition of rhetoric. He identified the Italian humanist tradition as a potential site to begin this development of philosophy, and his works often contain copious references to the Italian humanists. In this tradition, “work and metaphor are the source of human history and society”, an approach to thought which must reject the rational, proceeding as it does from “general and necessary premises.”
