Abstract
This article outlines an investigation of style not as an individual or collective expression, but rather as a “mode of thinking.” It therefore does not follow the emphatic path of multiplicity; on the contrary, the unilateral insistence on multiplicity is probably the greatest obstacle to be confronted. One must move toward family differences, in order to articulate the dimension of styles through the disjunctive, the “merely conjunctive,” and the flexible. No synthesis among these dimensions is envisaged: logical pluralism – that is, the conflict and possible intertwining among styles (understood as “modes” of logic) – is permanent. The article instead identifies three paths toward flexibility as an eminent philosophical category: conflictual aesthetics, the divided subject, and strategic thought.
