Eco a Vattimo – negatívny realizmus verzus slabé myslenie

Rok, strany: 2021, 293 - 306

The paper intends to introduce main points of Eco’s critique of Vattimo’s philosophy. It focuses on differences in their approaches and provides a closer view of one of the philosophical discussions happening at the wake of the new mil-lennium. We focus on understanding reality and the limits of interpretation as the two key points of Eco’s consideration and criticism. In 1983, Umberto Eco participated in publishing the well-known volume “weak thought”, although he later no longer considered himself part of the philosophical initiative. He represents a position of minimal or negative realism. Gianni Vattimo is a proponent of the “weak thought”, where reality is not introduced as stable, natural or objective. Reality does not itself speak out but needs a spokesmen or motivated interpreters. Vattimo, therefore revives Nietzsche’s thought “There are no facts, only interpretations”, which he deploys further in his own way.
