Vitiello, Rethinking Christianity 
from my review of the text: "If
1989, with the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of the myth of" human dell'autofondazione community and history "and it follows the political and moral crisis in which we live and from which in spite of everything we think, to overcome the same is not enough, according to Vitiello, back to 1789, the Declaration of Human Rights and citizen, and groped to return to issues beyond the founding of our humanism, but you must go back to the origins of European thought, to understand right there if you do not nest at the root of the error, that necessary evil that has characterized our history and that has made us optimistic about the coincidence of the ideal of real thought and implemented, ultimately about the possibility of making the earth " best of all possible worlds. " Around this core of thought leads the fascinating path along which Vitiello leads us with his new book Rethinking Christianity, edited by Ananke for the series of philosophy, directed by Marco Vozza. A journey full of suggestions and references that, starting from the classic contrast between the message of Christ and the Pauline reading, through a rich constellation of authors such as Goethe, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, de Unamuno, Zambrano, explores an area closed to know who looks in history to deconstruct the very foundations on which it built our Europe. Europe is certainly our history, but Europe is above all Christianity, the land on which our destiny is fulfilled in the name of Christ, a story destined, according to Vitiello, always to failure because it is based on a false unity . "
In the presence of prof. Vattimo, contradictor main author, Prof.. Tomatis, prof. Vozza (director of the series of issues in philosophy Ananke), dr. Demart and myself, took place yesterday at the Circle readers Turin the presentation of the book prof.
Vincenzo Vitiello, a book by a reinterpretation of the Christian roots of our civilization identifies poverty and humility, the only possible destiny for our Europe, a fate that falls outside the will power of a political theology now definitely dead . An unexpected approach to Vattimo's thesis? Vitiello does not deny in the strongest terms.
"We've approached a lot in these years, a time we were very far apart" - is seriously Vitiello. And that Vattimo
gigioneggia chair joke: "Who moved?"
"I do not deny it, you are the master" - replied promptly Vitiello Vattimo while this gets serious and escape the lure with a little 'embarrassed: "Not true, do not say that ..."
E 'published recently think the book is current, change the world , che racchiude gli interventi dell'omonimo convegno in onore di Gianni Vattimo, svoltosi a Torino nel maggio scorso e di cui brevemente riferivo qui .
