Il Soggetto e la Maschera

The philosophy of Nietzsche, often subject to inappropriate and sometimes deviant readings or limiting, is the focus of this illuminating essay by Vattimo. In his view, the main problem posed by the German philosopher is a thought allegorical and prophetical. By analyzing the exploitation of the doctrines of Nietzsche to the work of Nazi theories, Vattimo puts in light, in addition to the strengths, also the weaknesses of a thought all focused on the theme of liberation. An interpretation of a classic that is offered also as an important reflection on the present stage of philosophical inquiry.
