This book is both a concise and lucid introduction to Nietzsche and an original contribution to critical debates concerning Nietzsche interpretation and reception. This overview takes issue with the prevailing tendency to focus on Nietzsche's later work, which reaches its extreme with Heidegger's almost exclusive focus on the group of late notes posthumously collected as The Will to Power. Vattimo aims to mediate between two prominent hermeneutic readings of Wilhelm Dilthey's view that Nietzsche's work fits into the nineteenth-century tradition of the philosophy of life and Heidegger's belief that Nietzsche is best understood as the author of a pair of ontological doctrines, the will to power and the eternal return of the same. Vattimo aims to show that Nietzsche's early interest in cultural and historical criticism can be found throughout his corpus and that it informs, and helps to explain, Nietzsche's later doctrines and writings. This allows us to understand these later doctrines in a deeper way, to see their connections with his wider concerns, and thus to make greater sense of Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole. This working hypothesis guides Vattimo through his elegant exposition of the basic views of the early and late Nietzsche, from the philological beginnings and the musings on Dionysus through the so-called positivist phase of the middle period up to the philosophy of Zarathustra and the fragmented insights that bespeak the will to power. Throughout, Vattimo's intellectual agenda is to present the philosophical relevance of a cultural criticism that does not let itself be reduced to a merely literary presentation of the psychology of decadence and nihilism, or to the grand ontological-metaphysical finale that Heidegger had in mind in his monumental Nietzsche studies. As an appendix, Vattimo provides a history of Nietzsche reception in Europe that counters the narrow Anglo-American bias of much English-language Nietzsche scholarship.
Gianteresio Vattimo, also known as Gianni Vattimo (born January 4, 1936) is an internationally recognized Italian author, philosopher, and politician. Many of his works have been translated into English.
His philosophy can be characterized as postmodern with his emphasis on "pensiero debole" (weak thought). This requires that the foundational certainties of modernity with its emphasis on objective truth founded in a rational unitary subject be relinquished for a more multi-faceted conception closer to that of the arts.
Vattimo estudia la obra de Nietzsche siguiéndola de forma cronológica para sostener la tesis según la cual lo que constituye su hilo conductor es lo que podría llamarse una “ontología hermenéutica”. Según él, así se conectaría la tradición que ha visto en Nietzsche, por un lado, a un crítico de la cultura y, por otro, a un filósofo metafísico.
En lärd introduktion till Nietzsche, som dessutom tar hänsyn till annan forskning och andra tolkningar av tänkaren (särskilt Heideggers metafysiska). Vattimo karaktäriserar Nietzsches filosofi som en ontologisk hermeneutik. Vattimos utläggning om förhållandet mellan Nietzsche och Kant - en radikaliserad tolkning av tinget-i-sig där vi inte ens har en oförmedlad tillgång till våra egna tankar och begrepp som annars skulle försäkra en antydan av noumenets självständighet - belyser verkligen N:s filosofi. Man blir nästan lika upprymd av att läsa denna introduktion som av Nietzsches egna texter - ett bra tecken för en sekundärtext.
Un’opera che fornisce una panoramica ed un approfondimento alle opere di Friedrich Nietzsche, sia nei concetti espressi dal filosofo, sia nelle diverse edizioni e interpretazioni date dai diversi studiosi nel tempo.
کتاب، نوشته عمیقاً عالمانه از زبان یک فیلسوف تراز اول ایتالیایی است. واتیمو در فصل آخر با ظرافت گردش ها در تفسیر آثار نیچه رو مطرح می کنه و موقعیت خودش رو در این منظومه مشخص میکنه. کتاب در حقیقت تلاشی برای توضیح یکایک اصطلاحات فلسفی نیچه از خلال مراجعه مکرر به نوشته های خود اوست و حتی المقدور قصد داشته از ظاهر متناقض نوشته ها فراتر بره و اون رو در کلیت دوره های فکری نیچه منحل بسازه. توجه به دوره آخر نوشته نیچه هم که به گفته نویسنده، با اشارت های هایدگر ممکن شده عمیقا روشنگر و اثرگذاره. اگر یه مقداری جسارت می داشتم شاید میگفتم این کتاب به مراتب از نوشته های یاسپرس (که گویا منابع درجه اول نیچه شناسی در ایران هستند) درباره نیچه قوی تره؛ البته ارجاع مکرر واتیمو به تفسیرهای لوویت هم نشون از قوت شرح او هم هست.
به نظرم خانم احمدیان حقیقتا از ترجمه این کتاب کامیاب بیرون اومده.
... al liceo non arrivi mai a studiare le cose a noi pi�� prossime, temporalmente e culturalmente. Un vero peccato, molto pi�� accessibile di Kant (per tacere di molti altri).
