Followers Italian thinker as discussed in a book that praises the idea but wary philosophical renewal of his vision of America.
In The Gay Science, Nietzsche proclaimed that God was dead. So attacking a way of understanding the man's presence in this world, dogmatic and organized. At the end of the aphorism funeral, seeing the man alone with his becoming, Nietzsche asked: "Who will wipe this blood from us? What we clean water?" Half a century later, another German, Martin Heidegger, went further and challenged more than 2000 years of metaphysical accusing the fundamental confusion between being and beings.
Metaphysics is nothing more than the oblivion of being, the very thing that makes the bodies are.
statements resonant grim and the death of God and the oblivion of being inaugurated a new era in the history of Western philosophical thought. The crisis of metaphysics and absolute desire to open a new space that he wanted to take postmodernism, a trend that rejects the idea of \u200b\u200bobjective truth and sees his only chance in the situation and intersubjectivity. From these sources emerges debole pensiero, weak thought that preaches Gianni Vattimo.
Vattimo's philosophy can be understood as concern the philosophical task of rebuilding after the devastation of Nietzsche and Heidegger. Assuming nothing, Vattimo then propose an active and optimistic nihilism, in line with the depletion of ideologies, the rise of democracies, the power of the media, and other signs of our time.
Ontology of decline, nihilistic hermeneutics dialogue with Gianni Vattimo (Byblos) is a compilation of essays from twenty-three philosophers in Latin America, Spain and Italy, coordinated by Carlos Gutiérrez (UC Madrid), Daniel Leiro (UBA) and Victor Rivera (San Marcos University of Lima).
The book seeks to open Vattimo's thought, and one of the fundamentals of the twentieth century, the analysis and discussion from different perspectives. A rich text Leiro have these tests, which cover broad areas of thought of the philosopher: Nihilism, hermeneutics, empowerment, technology, religion, politics, etc.. It also explores his influence on authors such as Heidegger and Nietzsche referred to and dialogue with others as Derrida, Rorty and Wittgenstein.
This book clarifies that thought weak does not advocate, as it may seem, by a deficient brain activity, but a constructive attitude and energetic cleansing of the violence exercised by dogmatism, and a database search for companies with more justice and pluralism. One of the biggest concerns for Vattimo is to prevent the communication age to form partnerships to focus on technocrats and apathetic.
Otherwise, the development of communication can mean a new positive relationship between man and the self and the truth, insofar as it opens new spaces for intersubjectivity.
Times change, and philosophers as children of their time, they must also adapt. Vattimo longer supports the profile of the Platonic philosopher as a king, shut up in his mental tower, now is one more among men participating in the discussion. In an essay in this book, announces new philosophers as "priests without hierarchy, some street artists": a figure that has less to do with eternity of essence that the accidents of history and politics.
Eradicating violence philosophies of thought promotes more transparent, where the truth fits the consensus of a majority and not the views of a paladin. Thus, as free men hermeneutic under the protection we can again think of an ontology (the science of entities), condition for political action. Without adhering to the rough and moral arrogance of revolutions, Vattimo commitment to progressive cultural change within capitalism, the best (or only) way to clean it up and transform. On a recent visit to Argentina said that "if there is hope for the future of Europe Latin America." He praised what he called "socialist democracies" of Chavez, Morales and Lula, perceiving in them the dull glow of the flame of European socialism. Some authors in this book are skeptical interpretation Vattimo optimistic about the direction of such democracies as well as the processing efficiency of weak thought. At the same time admiring his work with hermeneutics, his redefinition of political commitment and concern for the philosophical edge, important steps for any project of emancipation.
Finally, it is somewhat paradoxical Vattimo's call to return to the old ethics of Christianity and communism. Although, of course, always a smooth version, subject to the Debole antimetaphysical filter. In his search for tools to practice, perhaps Vattimo has glimpsed the shortest path to liberation, and even more difficult, is in our hearts. For this poses a fraternal communism and Christianity atheist charity. Professing to Augustine, for Vattimo love is in the center of everything and just be a guide for action.
As the saint: "Love and do what you want."
