The essay aims at analyzing the conception of philosophical hermeneutics as the ontology of actuality developed by Gianni Vattimo. As the philosopher himself has stated, the expression provides a retrospective view of his philosophical journey. Indeed, on the one hand, by using the term ontology, Vattimo emphasizes the indispensability for philosophy and hermeneutics to continue addressing being, not in a metaphysical sense but in a Heideggerian sense, which represents one of the specific characteristics of his theoretical position. On the other hand, with reference to actuality, it points to a critical reflection on modernity and technology, constituting one of the Leitmotifs of his entire intellectual itinerary.

Abstract
The essay aims at analyzing the conception of philosophical hermeneutics as the ontology of actuality developed by Gianni Vattimo. As the philosopher himself has stated, the expression provides a retrospective view of his philosophical journey. Indeed, on the one hand, by using the term ontology, Vattimo emphasizes the indispensability for philosophy and hermeneutics to continue addressing being, not in a metaphysical sense but in a Heideggerian sense, which represents one of the specific characteristics of his theoretical position. On the other hand, with reference to actuality, it points to a critical reflection on modernity and technology, constituting one of the Leitmotifs of his entire intellectual itinerary.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
