Prof. Dr. Gaetano Chiurazzi, research member of the International Center of Study on Contemporary Nihilism (CeNic), has recently published the book Compreensão, História, Contingência. Ensaios sobre Heidegger e a hermeneutica (2022), at Paco editorial (Brazil), which brings a series of essays on Heidegger’s philosophy and hermeneutics (2022). This work addresses issues such as the problem of realism and justice, the pragmatic dimension of existence, alterity, among others, which are grouped around three fundamental concepts that mark the historical and philosophical development of hermeneutics: understanding, history and contingency.

Prof. Dr. Chiurazzi also analyzes the true philosophical content of hermeneutics, placing this question under the approach of the three central concepts (understanding, history and contingency) and considering Heidegger’s philosophy in dialogue with other philosophers (Anaximander, Leibniz, Nietzsche, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Gadamer).
