Belief

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vattimo, Gianni / D'Isanto, Luca / Webb, David, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, In this highly personal book, one of Europe's foremost contemporary philosophers confronts the theme of ong>faithong> ong>andong> religion. He argues that there is a substantial link ong>betweenong> the history of Christian revelation ong>andong> the history of nihilism, in particular as the latter appears in the work of Nietzsche ong>andong> Heidegger, Vattimo's philosophical specialty. Tracing the relation ong>betweenong> his response to these two thinkers ong>andong> his own life as a devout Catholic, Vattimo shows how his interpretation of Heidegger's work ong>andong> his conceptions of "weak thought" ong>andong> "weak ontology" can be seen as closely linked to a rediscovery of Christianity. Vattimo speaks here in the first person--a risk that results in a disarmingly open exploration of the themes of charity, truth, dogmatism, morality, ong>andong> sin, viewed through the lens of his own life ong>andong> his own return to Christianity. While deeply critical of institutionalized religion ong>andong> the Church, Vattimo discovers in the Christian tradition a voice (not a distinct message) whose interpretation is still being played out around us. Shaped by his readings of Nietzsche ong>andong> Heidegger, Vattimo's decision to affirm his formation within the Christian tradition provides an original ong>andong> engaging contribution to the contemporary debate on religion. At the center of this book is the enigma of belief. Freed by modernity from its Platonic subordination to knowledge, belief is recovered as a crucial ong>andong> inevitable feature of our cultural ong>andong> personal lives. "Do you believe?" Vattimo is asked. "I believe so," he replies. Acquista Ora
