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.

Franca D'Agostini interviewed


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.
