Description
This book aims to provide fresh perspectives on Vattimo and Zabalaâs groundbreaking foundational text, Hermeneutic Communism, from 2011. The contributors to this collection of essays explore various facets of Vattimo and Zabalaâs âanarchic hermeneuticsâ and âweak communismâ in order to investigate the concepts resulting from them, such as âframed democracies,â âarmed capitalismâ and âconservative impositions.â Vattimo and Zabalaâs text is one of the most innovative contributions to the current debate on Communism, in which authors such as Badiou, Negri, and RanciÃĻre have been the protagonists so far. The unique and original contribution of Vattimo and Zabalaâs position consists in letting politics evolve from one of the anarchic origins of hermeneutics: the end of truth. This triggers the essential question of how far politics is possible without truth. One of the essential, methodologically innovative characteristics of this collection is its dialogical, hermeneutical form, which is achieved by inserting Vattimo and Zabalaâs personal reactions to each essay in the book. By responding to each chapter in turn, Vattimo and Zabala establish a hermeneutic dialogue with the contributors. Thus hermeneutics will not only be a central topic, but also an epistemological, concrete application of Vattimo and Zabalaâs theories. An indispensable critical tool for students, researchers, professors, activists and general readers interested in the philosophical and political debate on Communism, which encompasses a wide variety of disciplines such as philosophy, political science, sociology, postcolonial studies, critical theory and Latin American studies. Offering an innovative first analysis of the new concepts of Hermeneutic Communism, this book represents a vital contribution to the understanding of the intriguing interrelation between philosophical hermeneutics and political communism.
