Weakening Philosophy cover

Gianni Vattimo is one of the world's most important philosophers, yet he has received scant attention in the English-speaking world. This collection of essays introduce his ideas to a wider audience. It assesses Vattimo's influence and the major tenets of his thought.Leading philosophers, including Umberto Eco and Charles Taylor, explore the work of important contemporary thinker Gianni Vattimo

"Weakening Philosophy does what no other book has done with this major figure in contemporary thought: place him at the centre of a dialogue featuring important voices in philosophy today - Eco, Nancy, Rorty, Taylor, Frank, Welsch, and Onate." William Egginton, The Johns Hopkins University "An outstanding and unique collection. Vattimo has made numerous original, path-breaking contributions to the philosophy of religion, all of which are very intelligently discussed, analyzed, and criticized by the contributors." Barry Allen, McMaster University
