Beskrivning
Gianni Vattimo, who has long been a prominent postmodern European philosopher, has recently taken a more significant interest in religion. His claim is that postmodern philosophy, with its incisive critique of rationalist, objectifying ways of thinking, can help religion once again find a voice in a largely disinterested Europe and an often fundamentalist America. To accomplish this, Vattimo contends, religion must attend to certain contemporary philosophical themes that, he argues, are ultimately consistent with biblical intentions. To this end, Vattimo employs his theoretical insights on themes such as: the nature of modernity/postmodernity, the important of "weak" as opposed to "strong" thought, the dissolution of metaphysics; and the end of the authoritarian, moralistic God.

Recensioner i media

'Tom Guarino's VATTIMO AND THEOLOGY proves the possibility that Vattimo's Nietzschean nihilism can and does enter into a fruitful dialogue with contemporary theology and thereby makes an important and timely contribution to a multivalent culture of tolerance. It works effectively as an introduction to the key themes and concepts from Vattimo's post-metaphysical weak thought and distinctly postmodern faith, and also provides a constructive and critical dialogue that calls to question what Guarino ultimately concludes is the axiomatic nature of Vattimo's thinking.'
