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 philosopher's role, Vattimo builds an important companion to his life's work. He confronts questions of science, religion, logic, literature, and truth, and passionately defends the power of hermeneutics to engage with life's conundrums. Vattimo conjures a clear vision of philosophy as something separate from the sciences and the humanities but also intimately connected to their processes, and he explicates a conception of truth that emphasizes fidelity and participation through dialogue. 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 606 $aPhilosophy, Italian$y20th century 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 615 0$aPhilosophy, Italian 676 $a947.084 700 $aVattimo$b Gianni$f1936-2023.$01820388 701 $aD'Agostini$b Franca$f1952-$0144508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965555103321 996 $aThe responsibility of the philosopher$94383033 997 $aUNINA
