Weakening Philosophy: Essays in Honour of Gianni Vattimo

Viac o knihe

Gianni Vattimo's philosophy, often overlooked in English-speaking circles, challenges traditional notions of moral imperatives and individual rights through the concept of "weak thinking." This collection of essays features contributions from prominent thinkers like Umberto Eco and Charles Taylor, who explore Vattimo's departure from deconstructionism and hermeneutics, emphasizing a secular approach that aligns philosophy with postmodern culture. The volume serves as a significant introduction to Vattimo's ideas and their implications for contemporary thought.
