Summary/Abstract: In this article, I analyze the Heideggerian sources of Gianni Vattimo's weak ontology, pointing out that without reference to Martin Heidegger's philosophy, weak thought loses its essential ontological dimension. Contemporary interpretations often shift it towards the ethics of dialogue, pedagogy, or liberal theology, omitting the category of Verwindung as a "getting over" of metaphysics. The analysis focuses on the book Credere di credere, in which the figure of the "return of religion" is read as a hermeneutical event specific to the era of the end of metaphysics. Religion here does not mean the restitution of the foundation, but rather the interpretative renewal of the trace, inscribed in the process of weakening metaphysical structures. In the article, I argue that the categories of kenosis, secularization, and pluralism only acquire their proper meaning in the perspective of Heidegger's critique of presence and historicity of Being.
