«Much of the philosophy [is seduced by] a new realism that has significant and dangerous consequences for the social and political life. Being antirealists is perhaps the only way to be, yet revolutionary.» Gianni Vattimo
«The essence of his philosophical program is still very strong, today, perhaps even more than yesterday.» La Repubblica
This text, which bind Heidegger's thought and constant attention to the transformations of contemporary society is the result of a process of reflection on the dissolution of objectivity or reality itself. The result is the story of an unpredictable change in perspective: a change that concerns us all, because deeply rooted in the history of recent decades.

When, halfway through the eighties of last century, Gianni Vattimo granted postmodern philosophical thickness with weak thought, was accused of being the bard triumphant capitalism and its illusions. His radical critique of ideologies and their defense of hermeneutics appeared extolling the new skyline dominated by the virtual and liquidity, starting with money and finance. The end of ideology would lead to the dominance of the reality principle and the presumed objectivity of economic laws. However, capitalism is now going through one of the worst crises in its history, in which the call to reality, seemingly innocent and full of common sense, becomes an instrument to impose conformity and acceptance of the existing order.

Facing that authoritarian ideology, hermeneutics, Vattimo claims the constant practice of extraordinary rendition-like cognitive tool, precisely because we can overcome the dictatorship of the present. So, here could settle the basis of a proposed transformation and liberation, with immediate policy implications.
