    To What Extent is the New Ecological Consciousness a Religious Phenomenon?
    Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology 1 (1): 111-118. 2014.
    ABSTRACTIn modern societies, religious practice, and belief, is said to be on the decline, especially among the younger generation. However, a strong ecological consciousness is gaining ground. It rests on a conception of good and evil, of sin and expiation, on a history of fall and salvation, regulating practices, beliefs and hopes. To what extent can it be viewed as a form of religion?

    L’herméneutique de la compréhension développée dans Être et temps, et plus particulièrement dans ses §§ 31-32, est l’un des chapitres les plus importants et les plus marquants de la philosophie de Heidegger. Elle est importante par la perspective inouïe qu’elle développe sur le phénomène du comprendre, mais aussi parce que tout le projet de Heidegger est lui-même centré sur la compréhension de l’être 0Seinsverständnis), que son ouvrage propose d’élucider en un effort d’interprétation-explicitati…Read more

    « Neque enim numquam inter se leones aut inter se dracones, qualia homines, bella gesserunt. » « Ni les lions, ni les dragons n’ont jamais déchaîné entre eux des guerres semblables à celles des hommes. »Sans doute est-ce la publication en 1992 du cours maintenant classique donné par Heidegger en 1929-1930, Les concepts fondamentaux de la métaphysique :...

    Truth and Method as a Classic
    Apuntes Filosóficos 21 (40). 2012.
    This article reflects on Truth and Method , the seminal work of Hans Georg Gadamer. The main argument developed here justifies why the work has become a classic in the philosophical literature. Further arguments survey the thematic aspects that make up the book and the importance that Truth and Method grants to humanism as a horizon from which the status of the humanities and humanistic knowledge is justified. The article also presents a smooth approach to the main categories of Gadamer's hermen…Read more

    Introduction to Philosophical Hermeneutics
    with Georgia Warnke and Joel Weinsheimer
    Philosophical Review 105 (3): 408. 1996.
    Jean Grondin’s starting point in his impressive book is what Hans-Georg Gadamer refers to as the universal claim of hermeneutics. Gadamer is better known for the limits his hermeneutics seems to place on universal claims. Against the reliance the Enlightenment placed on the insights of a reason common to humanity, Gadamer stresses the prejudiced and partial character of attempts to understand meaning. And against more contemporary attempts to ground Enlightenment conceptions in universal human c…Read more

    Herméneutique, l'horizon de la pensée contemporaine l'est à un double titre. Partant de l'universalité de l'ordre interprétatif, l'herméneutique confronte d'abord la pensée au défi de la pluralité des savoirs et de sa propre historicité, constellation qui caractérise ce qu'on a appelé l'historicisme ou le relativisme.En mettant en question les présupposés "métaphysiques" de l'accusation de relativisme, l'herméneutique espère cependant en conjurer le spectre.

  • We have many reasons to be grateful to Gianni Vattimo for his ongoing contribution to philosophy and public life. Undoubtedly, his most decisive philosophical impulses have come from the German philosophical tradition, and mostly from the Holy Trinity of Nietzsche, Heidegger and Gadamer, who was his teacher. Yet, he was not German, but a proud Italian, and, for some reason, more able than others to carry this tradition further. The issue I would like to discuss here is whether hermeneutics, and …Read more

    The Conclusion of the Critique of Pure Reason
    Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal 16 (1): 165-178. 1993.
    Based on some interpretations about the Critique of Pure Reason, the author holds a real answer to the question about the possibility of Metaphysics remains in the uncertainty there. Without any proper Conclusion of the work, this question is displaced to the background and it is, in certain way, superseded by the question about God's existence and a future life. In II, The Transcendental Doctrine of Method, Kant points towards the Highest Good as a determining ground of the ultimate end of pure…Read more
