Tugendhat was one of Martin Heidegger's last pupils and his least obedient, pursuing a new and controversial critical technique. Tugendhat took Heidegger's destruction of Being as presence and developed it in analytic philosophy, more specifically in semantics. Only formal semantics, according to Tugendhat, could answer the questions left open by Heidegger. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet in doing this, Tugendhat discovered the latent \"hermeneutic nature of analytic philosophy\"--its post-metaphysical dimension--in which \"there are no facts, but only true propositions.\" What Tugendhat seeks to answer is this: What is the meaning of thought following the linguistic turn? Because of the rift between analytic and continental philosophers, very few studies have been written on Tugendhat, and he has been omitted altogether from several histories of philosophy. Now that these two schools have begun to reconcile, Tugendhat has become an example of a philosopher who, in the words of Richard Rorty, \"built bridges between continents and between centuries.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTugendhat is known more for his philosophical turn than for his phenomenological studies or for his position within analytic philosophy, and this creates some confusion regarding his philosophical propensities. Is Tugendhat analytic or continental? Is he a follower of Wittgenstein or Heidegger? Does he belong in the culture of analysis or in that of tradition? Santiago Zabala presents Tugendhat as an example of merged horizons, promoting a philosophical historiography that is concerned more with dialogue and less with classification. In doing so, he places us squarely within a dialogic culture of the future and proves that any such labels impoverish philosophical research.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGianni Vattimo is emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Turin and a member of the European Parliament.
