Grassi sought to take up the Heideggerean Destruktion of metaphysics, grounding his philosophical enterprise instead in the tradition of rhetoric. In this tradition, "work and metaphor are the source of human history and society" an approach to thought which must reject the rational, proceeding as it does from "general and necessary premises.".
