Racionalidad práctica: Aristóteles y Heidegger entrevista a Franco Volpi

Abstract

In this interview, Prof. Volpi reflects on several topics. First, concerning the close relationship that exists between Aristotelian philosophy, nihilism and technology. According to Dr. Volpi, the contemporary world has been thoroughly shaped by technoscience, and requires a recovery of the meaning of human action and life. Secondly, given that these were important themes in the later writings of Heidegger, Volpi treats these questions and evaluates if Heideggerian point of view is appropiate to understand today's world. In addition, he propounds his vision of the relationship between philosophy and literature, as well as the role of philosophy in our contemporary world.
