Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book collects seven densely argued yet astonishingly lucid essays written in the 1970s and published in Italian in 1980... The reader intrigued by Vattimo's very accessible rendering of postmodernism in The End of Modernity will certainly want to imbibe these earlier essays." -- Walter Adamson, Philosophy and Literature

"[An] attempt to follow the adventurous courses of thought after Nietzsche." -- Review of Metaphysics
