After Christianity

A leading figure in contemporary philosophy looks at the resurgence of Christianity today and examines its connections to the writings of philosophers of the twentieth century.

When Vattimo was asked by a former teacher if he still believed in God, his reply was, "Well, I believe that I believe." This paradox of the certainty of faith and opinion sets the stage for a brilliant exposition on Christianity at the millennium - an age characterized by a deep uncertainty of opinion - and the paradox of how Vattimo himself recovered his faith through Nietzsche and Heidegger.
