What is it about?
Nicholas of Cusa is generally read as a theologian. In fact, he often speaks of God. The term 'non aliud' is also readily interpreted as God. I propose here a non-theological but purely philosophical reading of De non aliud, which shows that Nicholas is presenting a speculation about 'to be' at the highest speculative level.

Why is it important?
The literature on Cusanus' work is dominated by theological and religious interests. I am trying to shed light on the great philosophical side of Cusanus.
Perspectives
The discovery that Cusanus reflects on the prevailing opinions, on faith, and how he carries out this reflection and answers the question of being speculatively, was very exciting for me.
