Cover -- BEING AND ITS SURROUNDINGS -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Being and Its Surroundings: A Theological-Philosophical Breviary, Rather than a Treatise -- 1 What Need, What Metaphysics? -- 2 Philosophy and Contradiction -- 3 Wittgenstein and Historicity -- 4 Initial Paradox -- 5 The Future of Hermeneutics -- 6 The Consequences of Hermeneutics -- 7 Hermeneutics of Outrage -- 8 Hermeneutics of European Nihilism -- 9 Hermeneutics: Crossroads of the Critique of Globalization -- 10 Democracy and Hermeneutics -- 11 Emergency and Event: Technique, Politics, and the Work of Art -- 12 Democratic Fundamentalism and Dialect of Thought -- 13 Concerning Politics and Love -- 14 How to Become an Anti-Zionist -- 15 Transparent Totalitarianism -- 16 The Question of Technology Today -- 17 Passive or Reactive Nihilism -- 18 Mutual Recognition beyond Universalism -- 19 Reflections on the Dialectic of Development -- 20 The Boundaries of Art -- 21 European Religious Experience -- 22 Religion and Emancipation -- 23 Christianity without Truth -- 24 What (the Hell) Is Enlightenment? -- 25 True and False Christian Universalism -- 26 From Aesthetics to Ontology -- 27 To Interpret the World Is to Change It -- 28 Historicity and Différance -- 29 A Friendly Pragmatism -- Notes: After Heidegger -- 30 Heidegger the Theologian -- 31 Notes on Heidegger -- Sources -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.
Summary: Gianni Vattimo, one of Europe's foremost contemporary philosophers and most famously associated with the concept of weak thought, explores theoretical and practical issues flowing from his fundamental rejection of the traditional Western understanding of Being as an absolute, unchanging, and transcendent reality. The essays in this book move within the surroundings of Being without constructing a systematic, definitive analysis of the topic.
