Dialogo Con Nietzsche - Ensayos 1961-2000

Rate this book
Es verdad que la filosofia, despues de Nietzsche, ha de convertirse en una actividad meramente estetica, en la medida en que la disolucion de la metafisica y de la idea misma de fundamento solo puede dar lugar a una conclusion de este tipo? No es posible afrontar la obra de Nietzsche manteniendo una actitud exclusivamente filologica, limitandose a una pura y simple actividad de aclaracion, exposicion y reconstruccion "objetiva" de su pensamiento. Por un lado, es necesario liberar su figura de las incrustaciones y mitologias a veces tambien manipulaciones que nos ha legado un siglo de interpretaciones. Por otra parte, sobre todo pensando en quienes consideran que Nietzsche es un pensador decisivo para nuestro presente, es imposible pensar en una lectura "definitiva": sus interpelaciones acaban por poner en juego, inevitablemente, la subjetividad del interprete. Los ensayos que, en un lapso de cuarenta anos, Gianni Vattimo ha dedicado a Nietzsche ofrecen la prueba mas elocuente de la vitalidad de un pensamiento inagotable, que no pierde nunca su actualidad. Vattimo afronta la obra de Nietzsche desde diversas perspectivas, incluida una panoramica de las interpretaciones mas recientes. Al mismo tiempo mantiene una coherencia fundamental, enfrentandose a los grandes temas que lo caracterizan: el nihilismo y el superhombre; los problemas del tiempo, de la historia y de la verdad; la relacion con la hermeneutica, la etica y la estetica... Este Dialogo con Nietzsche convierte asi el testimonio de una costumbre y de una fidelidad en un fascinante ejemplo de lo que puede significar hoy la practica filosofica.

About the author

Gianni Vattimo

137 books93 followers
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.

Although his essays seem very dispersed and full of unnecessary repetitions and allusions about Nietzsche's well-known terms and his well-known commentators like Deleuze, Derrida or Bataille, I liked Vattimo's try to emancipate Nietzsche from the one-layered interpretations about his philosophy (like "aesthetlst Nietzsche" or "political emancipator Nietzsche") because -as Derrida's interpretation gets close to that- his destructiveness includes a search for a metaphysics which institutonalizes itself through the constant de-construction but which for that end needs a political body and is aware of that need.
