Beskrivning
In this highly original book the author addresses the question of how we are to conceive of human reasoning in a situation where there are no global, privileged points of view. Drawing on the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger, Vattimo proposes a conception of thought based on 'difference' - a conception which accepts the fragmentation of knowledge and renounces the quest for totality. He also argues for an 'ontology of decline' - a conception of being which renounces all the strong characteristics attributed to it by traditional metaphysics and which instead, following Heidegger, links being to time, life and the rhythm of birth and death.

Recensioner i media

'Vattimo is arguably one of the most instructive interpreters of Nietzsche and Heidegger writing today.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Gianni Vattimo, a leading philosopher in Italy and a foremost exponent of hermeneutics, has also developed a remarkably striking and polemical philosophical orientation in his recent book The Adventure of Difference.'
