First collected in Italy in 1985, Art's Claim to Truth is considered by many philosophers to be one of Gianni Vattimo's most important works. Newly revised for English readers, the book begins with a challenge to Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel, who viewed art as a metaphysical aspect of reality rather than a futuristic anticipation of it. Following Martin Heidegger's interpretation of the history of philosophy, Vattimo outlines the existent...

A daring marriage of philosophical theory and practical politics, this collection is the first of Gianni Vattimo's many books to combine his intellectual pursuits with his public and political life. Vattimo is a paradoxical figure, at once a believing Christian and a vociferous critic of the Catholic Church, an outspoken liberal but not a former communist, and a recognized authority on Nietzsche and Heidegger as well as a prominent public inte...

Gianni Vattimo, one of Europe's foremost contemporary philosophers and most famously associated with the concept of weak thought, explores theoretical and practical issues flowing from his fundamental rejection of the traditional Western understanding of Being as an absolute, unchanging, and transcendent reality. The essays in this book move within the surroundings of Being without constructing a systematic, definitive analysis of the topic.

In Beyond the Subject Gianni Vattimo offers a reading of Nietzsche and Heidegger that shows how the premises to overcome the metaphysical Subject were already embedded in their thought. Vattimo makes a case for a Nietzsche who is not concerned with the structure and glorification of the Overman, but rather with its opposite, by showing how it is the single individual who must see and accept his/her potential and then excel and develop an inner...

I testi che compongono questo volume sono variazioni su un unico tema, il tema di una filosofia che si esercita con il mettere alla prova prospettive, seguendo le occasioni. Il tipo stesso di filosofia che io coltivo - posso dire 'il mio pensiero' - è piuttosto retto da una logica della conversazione che da una logica argomentativa serrata. Non si 'arriva' da nessuna parte, ci si aggira sempre nei dintorni, si permane dentro un orizzonte. E qu...

This study develops a new interpretation of hermeneutics that breaks the link between hermeneutics and metaphysical humanism, challenges the traditional opposition of the natural and human sciences, and opens new perspectives on ethics, art and religion.

Das Misstrauen gegenüber traditionellen Begriffen wie Subjekt, Sein und Wahrheit darf, so Gianni Vattimo, nicht ohne Auswirkungen für die Hermeneutik bleiben. Einem an der Präsenz orientierten Denken setzt Vattimo daher sein Konzept einer "schwachen Metaphysik" entgegen.Unter dem Titel einer "Ontologie des Verfalls" zieht Gianni Vattimo die theoretischen Konsequenzen, die der von Nietzsche und anderen proklamierte "Tod des Subjekts" für die He...

Developed from his popular Gifford Lectures, this book advances a critical approach that recovers our interpretive powers and native skepticism toward normative claims. Though he recognizes his ideas invite charges of relativism, the philosopher counters with a discussion of truth, highlighting its longstanding ties to history and social circumstance. Truth is always contingent and provisional, and reason and reasonableness are bound to histor...

La filosofia di Nietzsche, spesso oggetto di letture improprie e talvolta devianti o limitative, è al centro di questo illuminante saggio di Vattimo. A suo avviso, il problema principale posto dal filosofo tedesco è quello della necessaria allegoricità e profeticità del pensiero. Analizzando la strumentalizzazione delle dottrine di Nietzsche a opera delle teorie nazionalsocialiste, Vattimo mette in luce, oltre ai punti di forza, anche le debol...
