Resumen de Il concetto di relazione: costrutto o atto?
The relationship cannot be understood as a medium between terms, i.e. in the sense of a monodyadic construct. If understood in that sense, it does not produce an “aporia”, but a true contradiction: reconciling the identity of terms, which involves their independence, with their common reference, which involves their dependence. The relationship does not arise, then, between identities, but in the inherent structure of each identity, and must be understood as the act of selfrelating of each determinate identity, and it is for this reason that it manifests itself as a sign. The mediation, in other words, is not the structure of what is immediate, that is its articulation, according to the concept of the original structure presented by Severino, but the act of selfmediating.
This implies that the act, not the structure, has original value.
