Riassunto

The Vattimo Dictionary presents an essential introduction in English to the philosophical thought of Gianni Vattimo, considered the most important Italian philosopher of the last fifty years and one of Europe’s foremost contemporary thinkers.
The Vattimo Dictionary consists of 101 entries arranged in alphabetical order and written by 53 contributors from around the world – the highest number of collaborators ever featured in this series. The entries vary in length based on their relevance and the extent to which they are examined in Vattimo’s work. They include specific philosophical concepts and philosophers who have influenced his thinking, as well as terms of biographical interest. Key criticisms of Vattimo’s work are included by prominent authors in the field, from Eduardo Mendieta, Franca D’Agostini, Santiago Zabala, Silvia Mazzini, Carmelo Dotolo, Federico Vercellone to Robert Valgenti.
