The idea of the ‘transparent society’, formulated by Gianni Vattimo in a small book published for the first time in 1989, is the most advanced project of aesthetic politics or political aesthetics that has emerged in postmodern culture. This article aims to retrace Vattimo's arguments and demonstrate their topicality and relevancy for today's fully aestheticized societies.
