Estasi come arché: il ruolo della conoscenza estatica nella metafisica di Giorgio Colli

In this essay I reconstruct the conception of ecstatic knowledge developed by Giorgio Colli in the mature phase of his thought, in conjunction with the elaboration of the philosophy of expression. The cornerstone of the argumentation is the theory of an ecstatic reason, which necessarily converges in the ‘immediacy’. I also try to clarify the meaning of Colli’s intention to philosophize ‘after Nietzsche’, recognizing in memory the keystone of the theory of expression, understood as an ecstatic structure.
