Abstract

Tekst podaja analizo in interpretacijo reakcij, ki so nastale v italijanski filozofski debati takoj po izidu zbornika Il pensiero debole leta 1983. Gre za reakcije, ki hipotezo o šibki misli prej zavračajo, kakor da bi jo primerno kritično presojale oziroma se zavzemale za njeno razumevanje. Avtor interpretira to reaktivnost kot obrambo lastnih privilegijev in moči in torej kot nezmožnost, da bi kritiki predstavili »prikazni« lastne šibkosti. Ti radikalni kritiki bi radi šibko misel izgnali, dejansko pa pokažejo svoje strahove in razne sindrome. Tako se napotijo v smer, ki je nasprotna šibki misli in »hvalnici sramežljivosti«, to je filozofski ter eksistencialni drži, za katero se šibka misel zavzema.The text carries out an analysis and interpretation of the reactions occasioned by the Italian philosophical debate immediately after the publication of the collection Il pensiero debole in 1983. These reactions reject the hypothesis about the weak thought rather than adequately critically judge it or endeavor for its clearer understanding. The author interprets this reactivity as the defense of one’s own personal privileges and powers and therefore as the incapability of critics to reveal the “apparitions” of their own weaknesses. It turns out that, by endeavoring to banish weak thought, these radical critics reveal but their own fears and various syndromes. This way they turn in the direction which is quite the opposite of that of weak thought in the “Praise of Bashfulness”, i.e. the philosophical or existential attitude as espoused by weak thought
