Moving away from Jacques Derrida's deconstructionism and Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, and building on his experiences as a politician, Vattimo asks if it is still possible to speak of moral ...imperatives, individual rights, and political freedom. Acknowledging the force of Nietzsche's "God is dead," Vattimo argues for a philosophy of pensiero debole or "weak thinking" that shows how moral values can exist without being guaranteed by an external authority. His secularising interpretation stresses anti-metaphysical elements and puts philosophy into a relationship with postmodern culture.
Grundene til, at hermeneutikken har et klart kald til at omforme sig til etik, synes samtidig at være de grunde, som forhindrer dette kald i at udfolde sig definitivt.

In questi saggi che videro la prima pubblicazione nel 1989 nella storica collana 'Ermeneutica' da lui stesso fondata e diretta, Gianni Vattimo delinea i fondamenti dell'etica dell'interpretazione che ...il celebre filosofo avrebbe sviluppato e approfondito con successo negli anni successivi. Mettendo in primo piano l'ermeneutica come idioma comune della cultura contemporanea e i suoi legami con i tratti postmoderni della società, Vattimo propone una visione dell'etica che recupera, in termini secolarizzati, sia le esigenze di universalità dell'etica tradizionale, sia gli elementi ascetici della morale ripensati alla luce di una ripresa, oltre che di Nietzsche e Heidegger, di Schopenhauer.
E si afferma come uno degli interpreti più significativi dell'ontologia ermeneutica che ha contrassegnato una stagione importante del dibattito filosofico italiano e internazionale, facendo di questo volume un long seller meritevole di essere riproposto, a trent'anni di distanza, con un saggio di Emilio Corriero, anche come occasione per fare il bilancio di quella stagione. Testo dell'editore
In this article, the Italian philosopher aims to reveal the repercussions and the effect of Nietzsche’s thought in contemporary culture.
En este artículo el filósofo italiano se propone poner en ...evidencia las repercusiones y los efectos del pensamiento de Nietzsche en nuestra cultura actual.
Gianni Vattimo, who is both a Catholic and a frequent critic of the Church, explores the surprising congruence between Christianity and hermeneutics in light of the dissolution of metaphysical truth. ...As in hermeneutics, Vatimo claims, interpretation is central to Christianity. Influenced by hermeneutics and borrowing largely from the Nietzschean and Heideggerian heritage, the Italian philosopher, who has been instrumental in promoting a nihilistic approach to Christianity, draws here on Nietzsche’s writings on nihilism, which is not to be understood in a purely negative sense. Vattimo suggests that nihilism not only expands the Christian message of charity, but also transforms it into its endless human potential. In “The Age of Interpretation,” the author shows that hermeneutical radicalism “reduces all reality to message,” so that the opposition between facts and norms turns out to be misguided, for both are governed by the interpretative paradigms through which someone (always a concrete, historically situated someone) makes sense of them. Vattimo rejects some of the deplorable political consequences of hermeneutics and claims that traditional hermeneutics is in collusion with various political-ideological neutralizations.

E’ certo un titolo eccessivo, non ispirato dal luogo in cui mi trovo, almeno non solo da questo. Arrivo a questo titolo, e all’idea che esso esprime, attraverso una duplice riflessione, filosofica e ...politica.
