Heralding the beginning of the philosophical dialogue on the
concept for which Gianni Vattimo would become best known (and
coining its name), this groundbreaking 1983 collection includes
foundational essays by Vattimo and Pier Aldo Rovatti, along with
original contributions by nine other Italian philosophers
influenced by and working within the authors framework.
Dissatisfied with the responses to nineteenth- and
twentieth-century European philosophy offered by Marxism,
deconstruction, and poststructuralism, Vattimo found in the
nihilism of Friedrich Nietzsche an important context within which
to take up the hermeneutics of Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg
Gadamer. The idea of weak thought sketched by Vattimo and Rovatti
emphasizes a way of understanding the role of philosophy based on
language, interpretation, and limits rather than on metaphysical
and epistemological certainties without falling into relativism. To
the first English-language edition of this volume, translator Peter
Carravetta adds an extensive critical introduction, providing an
overview of weak thought and taking stock of its philosophical
trajectory over more than a quarter century."
