The philosophical word, in its questioning, always gives voice to the Other, to silence, to death. Its task is to “speak Silence.” The Silence “of” things, “in” things, “in” names, ‘in’ the “sounds” of things [...]. In saying things, the Silence present in the sounds of things, the philosophical word rekindles wonder for the being, the wonder “that the being is.”

— Vincenzo Vitiello
