Gianni Vattimo and Franca D'Agostini discuss the truth




In this fun, intriguing, exciting video in three episodes Gianni Vattimo and Franca D'Agostini debate around the concept of truth.

Vattimo argues the need to say goodbye to the truth of the proposition as a pure compliance to the thing, and argues that truth is always also the result of an agreement within a community. D'Agostini argues that we can not do without the realist conception of truth: the truth is "how things are."

The debate at times is also very light (to control emotions is difficult even for philosophers and authentic even if these issues are quite abstract and ...!!!), the crux of the dispute that is at some point in focus (but the node is not dissolved and the two remain at odds) in the basis of argumentative propositions value-and regulation, in other words, there are normative truths based on facts? There are no truths or values? How do you argue the values? With the facts? With performances and dialogue?

Vattimo rejects that can be nature to establish the factual basis for discussions of values, but only the culture, for example, D'Agostini argues that the proposition "not kill" is based on the fact that there is a natural impulse to survive.

Invitation blog readers to watch the video (not to be missed!) and leave comments about taking a stand: it is in my opinion (the foundation of values) of a node more difficult for philosophy but also a question never so relevant as in the contemporary world.
