Did Vattimo intend for'weak thought' to represent weakness or a certain flexibility?

  • Weakness

  • Certain flexibility

  • Both

  • Neither

Answer

Gianni Vattimo's "weak thought" is not a kind of weak or flawed thought, but a kind of flexibility that acknowledges the inherent limits of human knowledge. Vattimo argues that all human knowledge is perspectival and provisional, and that there is no such thing as an objective or absolute truth.
