 Probably the most influential conception of postmodern hermeneutics is embodied in Gianni Vattimo’s notion of ‘weak thought.’ Vattimo’s hermeneutics is influenced not only by figures such as Gadamer and Heidegger, but also Nietzsche, as well as the important Italian philosopher Luigi Pareyson (see Benso, 2018). By ‘weak thought,’ Vattimo has in mind interpretive practices that incrementally diminish the efficacy of narratives about the purported ‘being’ of things that have been passed down from the tradition of Western metaphysics. Vattimo embraces the postmodern possibility to liberate the creation of meaning from any needs for foundation or legitimacy. Building on Heidegger and Nietzsche, Vattimo argues that despite all postmodern incredulity, narratives passed down about the purported ‘being’ of things continue to be in effect, often tacitly, in a broad range of our current beliefs and practices. What is then called for are interpretive practices that loosen the hold of these narratives, and thus expose that what they have to say about the ‘being’ of things are not eternal verities but, instead, mockups that are subject to interpretive revision. Vattimo, then, defines interpretive experience not in Gadamerian terms of a conversation that brings something into focus in its being, as it genuinely is. Rather, he conceives of interpretive experience as a practice of recovery, even convalescence (Verwindung), that weakens the effects of interpretations of ‘being’ passed down from Western metaphysics. Indeed, Vattimo associates the possibility to liberate meaning through weak thought as the pursuit of what he calls ‘accomplished nihilism,’ in that weak thought seeks to unmask every sense of ‘being’ which purports to be more than the result of an interpretation (see Vattimo, Beyond Interpretation, The End of Modernity).
