Vattimo shares with Sun Ra an emphasis on myth-remaking and the radical potential of Christian nihilism, weakness that compels discipline in contrast to angry insistence on absolutes, inalienable rights, and underlying natures.
Secularization for Vattimo represents "the triumph of love over law, of kindness over obedience." Sun Ra said he hadn't ever experienced freedom and wasn't human but a dangerous angel. Vattimo interprets "kenosis – the emptying out of God into man that was the Incarnation – as a prefiguration of nihilism, as a wholesale and complete transfer of authority from the nonhuman to the human." #Richard_Rorty on #GianniVattimo #SunRa

"Vattimo thinks philosophers should stop trying to rewrite Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. They should instead rewrite the narratives offered in Vico’s New Science, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit,
Comte’s and Marx’s stories of progress, and Nietzsche’s account (in Twilight of the Idols) of “How ‘the true world’ became a fable.” Part of this rewriting should consist in removing any suggestion of inevitability, any hint that the story being told is itself more than another possible interpretation. The other task that remains for philosophy is what Vattimo calls “the ongoing task of secularization … the unmasking of the sacrality of all absolute, ultimate truths.” This task will never be completed, he says, because “the springs of metaphysical authoritarianism will never run dry” and so antifoundationalism itself is at risk of hardening in a metaphysics." -#RichardRorty on #GianniVattimo 2007 -
"Il fatto paradossale è che proprio la passione per la verità, la coscienza, nella sua ricerca del vero, è giunta a mettere in crisi se stessa: ha scoperto di essere solo una passione come le altre"
Addio a #GianniVattimo, filosofo ed esponente del “pensiero debole”, allievo di Pareyson e docente a Torino, ha teorizzato la postmodernità come superamento dalle grandi narrazioni “forti” e dai dogmi della tradizione occidentale.
