ABSTRACT

This chapter explores that domain of relations in the human world. While the discourse is mesological, it will include a clarifying dialogue, based on systematic references to Yamauchi’s book, which it considers one of the great texts of the 20th century. History must take the blame for the fact that he is almost unknown outside Japan, and little known even in Japan. For Yamauchi, Hegel’s reversal of the principle of contradiction is both the outcome and the summit of the deployment of the logos. In Yamauchi’s view, something has happened between Ionia and Greater Greece in the time of Heraclitus and Parmenides, which eventually would lead the logos to free itself from the constraints of being. For Yamauchi, Hegel’s reversal of the principle of contradiction is both the outcome and the summit of the deployment of the logos.
