Weakening Philosophy (eBook, PDF)

Essays in Honour of Gianni Vattimo

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Moving away from Jacques Derrida''s deconstructionism and Paul Ricoeur''s hermeneutics, and building on his experiences as a politician, Vattimo asks if it is still possible to speak of moral imperatives, individual rights, and political freedom. Acknowledging the force of Nietzsche''s "God is dead," Vattimo argues for a philosophy of pensiero debole or "weak thinking" that shows how moral values can exist without being guaranteed by an external authority. His secularising interpretation stresses anti-metaphysical elements and puts philosophy into a relationship with postmodern culture.
