Critiquing Immanuel Kant's transcendental philosophy, Maurizio Ferraris reintroduces the significance of the external world in modern philosophy. His work, divided into two parts, first establishes the foundations of his New Realism, aligning with the 21st-century realist movement. The latter section presents a comprehensive metaphysical theory centered on hysteresis, illustrating how effects persist beyond their causes. Ferraris, a prominent figure in theoretical philosophy, is also the President of Labont, Center for Ontology, with translation by Sarah De Sanctis.

«Se la trasparenza dell'intelligibilità fosse assicurata, distruggerebbe il testo, mostrerebbe che non ha avvenire alcuno, che non deborda il presente, che si consuma immediatamente; dunque una certa zona di misconoscimento e di incomprensione è anche una riserva e una possibilità eccessiva – una possibilità per l'eccesso di avere un avvenire, e di conseguenza di generare nuovi contesti. Se tutti possono capire subito quel che voglio dire non ho creato alcun contesto, ho meccanicamente risposto all'attesa, ed è tutto lì, anche se la gente applaude e magari legge con piacere; poi, chiude il libro, ed è finita».
