Written in a personal, conversational style, Vattimo examines such concepts as charity, truth, dogmatism, morality and sin through the lens of his own life and his own return to Christianity."" ""At the center of the book is the enigma of belief. Freed by modernity from its Platonic subordination to knowledge, belief is recovered as a crucial and inevitable feature of our cultural and personal lives. ""Do you believe?"" Vattimo is asked. ""I believe so,"" he replies.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Gianni Vattimo</note> <subject> <topic>Practice and belief</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">234.2</classification> <classification authority="ddc">G433-V35</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0804739196</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/10733/beli.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/10733/beli.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070931.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
