Not Being God: A Collaborative Autobiography
ISBN: 9780231147200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Gianni Vattimo, a leading philosopher of the continental school, has always resisted autobiography. But in this intimate memoir, the voice of Vattimo as thinker, political activist, and human being finds its expression on the page. With Piergiorgio Paterlini, a noted Italian writer and journalist, Vattimo reflects on a lifetime of politics, sexual radicalism, and philosophical exuberance in postwar Italy. Turin, the city where he was born and one of the intellectual capitals of Europe (also the city in which Nietzsche went mad), forms the core of his reminiscences, enhanced by fascinating...

Of Reality: The Purposes of Philosophy
ISBN: 9780231166973 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We think it is wise to accept reality, rather than fight for something that does not exist or might never be. But in Of Reality, Gianni Vattimo condemns this complacency, with its implicit support of the status quo. Instead he urges us to never stop questioning, contrasting, or overcoming reality, which is not natural, inevitable, or objective. Reality is a construct, reflecting, among other things, our greed, biases, and tendencies toward violence.
It is no accident, Vattimo argues, that the call to embrace reality has emerged at a time when the inequalities of liberal capitalism... We think it is wise to accept reality, rather than fight for something that does not exist or might never be. But in Of Reality, Gianni Vattimo...

Transparentní společnost
ISBN: 9788087705094 / Czeski / Miękka / 2013 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Plně informovaný pohled na svět (média v něm jsou určující, v negativním i positivním slova smyslu) mění společnost a sociální scénář - mění se pojmy demokracie, pravdy. Místo individuální zkušenosti nastupuje zkušenost mediální a člověk nalézá své kořeny a identitu jen tehdy, hledí-li na sebe ze stránek novin, z televize či internetu; jinak bloumá světem vykořeněn a bez osobnosti. Jak mění mediatizace naší existenci a realitu bez toho, že bychom chtěli zprostředkovaný svět démonizovat či se mu bránit zbytečnou nostalgii? V co se...

Hermeneutic Communism: From Heidegger to Marx
ISBN: 9780231158022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Having lost much of its political clout and theoretical power, communism no longer represents an appealing alternative to capitalism. In its original Marxist formulation, communism promised an ideal of development, but only through a logic of war, and while a number of reformist governments still promote this ideology, their legitimacy has steadily declined since the fall of the Berlin wall. Separating communism from its metaphysical foundations, which include an abiding faith in the immutable laws of history and an almost holy conception of the proletariat, Gianni Vattimo and Santiago...

The Responsibility of the Philosopher
ISBN: 9780231152426 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the course of his career, Gianni Vattimo has assumed a number of public and private identities and has pursued multiple intellectual paths. He seems to embody several contradictions, at once defending and questioning religion and critiquing and serving the state. Yet the diversity of his life and thought form the very essence of, as he sees it, the vocation and responsibility of the philosopher. In a world that desires quantifiable results and ideological expediency, the philosopher becomes the vital interpreter of the endlessly complex. As he outlines his ideas about the...

For more than forty years, Gianni Vattimo, one of Europe's most important and influential philosophers, has been a leading participant in the postwar turn that has brought Nietzsche back to the center of philosophical enquiry. In this collection of his essays on the subject, which is a dialogue both with Nietzsche and with the Nietzschean tradition, Vattimo explores the German philosopher's most important works and discusses his views on the Ubermensch, time, history, truth, hermeneutics, ethics, and aesthetics.

The End of Modernity : Nihilism and Hermeneutics in Post-modern Culture
ISBN: 9780745609713 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Now available in paperback, this book provides an elegant analysis of the philosophical background to the post-modernity debate. Vattimo focuses on the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger and shows how their bitter criticisms of modern European thought prepared the way for more recent proclamations of the end of the modern era.
Vattimo pursues questions central to aesthetics and hermeneutic philosophy and sides with contemporary philosophers such as Gadamer and Rorty in rejecting the search for stable and transcendent foundations for knowledge. Going beyond their work he introduces... Now available in paperback, this book provides an elegant analysis of the philosophical background to the post-modernity debate. Vattimo focuses on th...

Beyond Interpretation : The Meaning of Hermeneutics for Philosophy
ISBN: 9780745617534 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book by one of Europe's foremost contemporary philosophers is a concise and lucidly argued account of the meaning of hermeneutics for philosophy today.
Vattimo argues that hermeneutics, understood in a general sense, has had a pervasive influence on contemporary philosophy and social thought. But its very generality is also a symptom of its malaise, for it threatens to leave hermeneutics empty of significance and wedded to a shallow relativism. In response to this danger, Vattimo proposes a radicalization of the relation of hermeneutics to its...

Nihilism & Emancipation: Ethics, Politics, & Law
ISBN: 9780231130837 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A daring marriage of philosophical theory and practical politics, this collection is the first of Gianni Vattimo's many books to combine his intellectual pursuits with his public and political life. Vattimo is a paradoxical figure, at once a believing Christian and a vociferous critic of the Catholic Church, an outspoken liberal but not a former communist, and a recognized authority on Nietzsche and Heidegger as well as a prominent public intellectual and member of the European parliament. Building on his unique position as a philosopher and politician, Vattimo takes on some of the most...

A Farewell to Truth
ISBN: 9780231153089 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With Western cultures becoming more pluralistic, the question of "truth" in politics has become a game of interpretations. Today, we face the demise of the very idea of truth as an objective description of facts, though many have yet to acknowledge that this is changing. Gianni Vattimo explicitly engages with the important consequences for democracy of our changing conception of politics and truth, such as a growing reluctance to ground politics in science, economics, and technology. Yet in Vattimo's conception, a farewell to truth can benefit democracy, exposing the unspoken issues that...

Deconstructing Zionism: A Critique of Political Metaphysics
ISBN: 9781441143457 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series provides a political and philosophical critique of Zionism. While other nationalisms seem to have adapted to twenty-first century realities and shifting notions of state and nation, Zionism has largely remained tethered to a nineteenth century mentality, including the glorification of the state as the only means of expressing the spirit of the people. These essays, contributed by eminent international thinkers including Slavoj Zizek, Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, Gianni Vattimo, Walter Mignolo, Marc Ellis, and...

The Adventure of Difference: Philosophy After Nietzsche and Heidegger
ISBN: 9780745604978 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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,...

Art's Claim to Truth
ISBN: 9780231138512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. First collected in Italy in 1985, Art's Claim to Truth is considered by many philosophers to be one of Gianni Vattimo's most important works. Newly revised for English readers, the book begins with a challenge to Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel, who viewed art as a metaphysical aspect of reality rather than a futuristic anticipation of it. Following Martin Heidegger's interpretation of the history of philosophy, Vattimo outlines the existential ontological conditions of aesthetics, paying particular attention to the works of Kandinsky, which reaffirm the ontological implications of...

ISBN: 9780745610474 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Transparent Society Vattimo develops his own distinctive views on postmodernism and its philosophical and cultural relevance.
Vattimo argues that the post-modern condition is linked to the development of the mass media and the diffusion of systems of communication. However, he disputes the belief that this development will produce a more enlightened, self-conscious and 'transparent' society, maintaining instead that it leads to a diversity of viewpoints which render societies more complex, even chaotic. Vattimo suggests that aesthetics provides vital insight... In The Transparent Society Vattimo develops his own distinctive views on postmodernism and its philosophical and cultural relevance.
