A good way to get a quick idea of \u200b\u200bthe philosophy of Franca D'Agostini is seeing five questions in this interview made at the occasion of his participation in "vacances de l'esprit" together with Gianni Vattimo.
student of Gianni Vattimo and formed in the study of contemporary French philosophy, has landed then to a philosophical orientation also using the analytical logic, but always remaining anchored to the great tradition of classical philosophy.
E 'in my opinion a very sophisticated thinker, extremely attentive and open to understand what happens in the philosophical landscape of valid today.
The value of his work consists essentially in its determination to revive philosophy as clarification and elaboration of fundamental concepts (truth, reality, being, well, justice ...), so the value of its founding philosophy and policy.
Franca D'Agostini teaches philosophy of science at the Politecnico di Torino and analysis of political discourse at the University of Eastern Piedmont, collaborated on the "Print" and the "manifesto".

I assigned to my two classes of fourth year (one a high school to grammar school) as a summer reading Truth poisoned, and I'm going to work with them on this text, even during the school year about to begin. I believe that the power of argument, including the ability to recognize fallacies, especially those in the public debate, is a key objective of a good course in philosophy.
