"Weakening Philosophy does what no other book has done with this major figure in contemporary thought: place him at the centre of a dialogue featuring important voices in philosophy today - Eco, Nancy, Rorty, Taylor, Frank, Welsch, and Onate." William Egginton, The Johns Hopkins University "An outstanding and unique collection. Vattimo has made numerous original, path-breaking contributions to the philosophy of religion, all of which are very intelligently discussed, analyzed, and criticized by the contributors." Barry Allen, McMaster University
