Abstract

Caputo and Vattimo are two philosophers who share profound theoretical similarities in their critiques of the classical metaphysical tradition and Christianity. However, their paths diverge when it comes to delving into the foundational bases of each thinker individually. This article aims, first, to present each perspective and then to establish the distinctions that separate the two theoretical approaches in their critiques and hermeneutical propositions regarding the Christian message.
