Book Synopsis The Dawn of Political Nihilism by : Professor David Ohana
Download or read book The Dawn of Political Nihilism written by Professor David Ohana and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the turbulent period between 1870 and 1930, the contours on modernity were taking shape, especially the connections between technology, politics and aesthetics. The trilogy The Nihilist Order traces the genealogy of the nihilist-totalitarian syndrome. Until now, nihilism and totalitarianism were considered opposites: one an orderless state of affairs, the other a strict regimented order. On closer scrutiny, however, a surprising affinity can be found between these two concepts that dominated the history of the first half of the twentieth century. Starting with Nietzsche's philosophy, this book traces the development of an intellectual school characterised by the paradoxical dual purpose of a wish to destroy, coupled with a strong desire to create imposing structures. This explosive combination of nihilist leanings together with a craving for totalitarianism was an ideal of philosophers, cultural critics, political theorists, engineers, architects and aesthetes long before it materialised in flesh and blood, not only in technology, but also in fascism, Nazism, bolshevism and radical European political movements. Friedrich Nietzsche, Georges Sorel, the Italian Futurists, led by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, and Ernst Jünger were all well-known intellectual and cultural figures. Here they are seen and understood in a different light, as creators of a modern political mythology that became a source of inspiration for belligerent ideological camps. Among the ideas propagated by this school, and later adopted by totalitarian regimes, were historical nihilism, a revolt against the rationalistic and universalistic pretensions of the Enlightenment, an affirmation of the dynamism of modern life, and the replacement of the traditional Judeo-Christian values of good and evil by other dualities such as authenticity and decadence. Concurrently there took place affirmation of the technological era, the creation of a 'new man' and a violent order, and the birth of a new political style in place of traditional world-views. When channelled into the political sphere, these aesthetic nihilist ideas paved the way for the rise of totalitarianism.

Book Synopsis Treatise on Nihilism by : Dr Michel Luc Bellemare Ph D
Download or read book Treatise on Nihilism written by Dr Michel Luc Bellemare Ph D and published by Blacksatin Publications Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-04-29 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical relativism, i.e., nihilism, is increasingly the state of knowledge and being, today, as it is increasingly revealed, discovered and understood that logical reason is underpinned with nothing more than anarchy, relativity and an overwhelming sense of nebulous vacuity. The only feature holding meaning and language together in the face of complete degeneration and decrepit fuzzy uncertainty is, artificially, constructed logical order and sense. That is, logical order and sense manufactured by the apparatus of logical reason, itself, so that it can maximize its mastery, its power, and its comprehension over the phenomenal-world, both individually and collectively, both mental and physical etc. Before all paradigms, languages and/or concepts etc., rests the basic datum-bit of logical order and sense, the last, tiny, rhizome limb left on the knowledge tree, after which, everything falls apart and wastes away in total incomprehensibility, opacity and indeterminate nullity. Yet, on this delicate twig, dangling in a frozen calculating wind, lies the last ripe berry, now ready to spread its gen should any entity taste its honeyed facticity, pure relativism. The fact is logical reason is an apparatus hardwired to pursue the mastery and comprehension of phenomena, ad nauseam, to endlessly fashion and manufacture logical order and sense, ad nauseam, regardless, if it wants to or not. It does this so it can bewitch itself into believing faithfully in its own mastery, power, and comprehension as a predetermined, logical unfolding of knowledge and being towards a finite, all-encompassing totality. Consequently, this treatise is an exegesis on the synthetic arbitrary nature of logical order and sense, that is, spectral metaphysical nothingness, so as to exorcise the reader of any basic concepts, precepts, and haunting spooks, concerning any firm unyielding belief in anything concrete, eternal, and/or universal etc.
Book Synopsis Power Nihilism: A Case for Moral & Political Nihilism by : James Theodore Stillwell III

This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within this text James Theodore Stillwell III extracts thought strands from profound thinkers such as Hume, Nietzsche, Kant A.J. Ayer, C.L. Stevenson, J. L. Mackie, Ragnar RedBeard, Peter Sjöstedt-H and interweaves them into a meta ethical tapestry that is a liberating-brutally honest red pill. Mixing non cognitivism, error theory, with projectivism, Stillwell puts forth a kind of moral nihilism (Power-Nihilism) that dispenses with both secular and theistic forms of moral realism. In the final chapter James articulates his qualified form of political nihilism and critiques such concepts as ""Natural law"" and ""Natural Rights"" along with a few other pivotal concepts within political theory. This book also covers such topics as the will to power, slave morality, bad conscience, the on going destruction of Western civilization, radical individualism, collectivism, egalitarianism, hierarchy and much more...
Book Synopsis Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism by : Saladdin Ahmed
Download or read book Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism written by Saladdin Ahmed and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we face new and debilitating catastrophes caused by capitalism and nation-state politics, Saladdin Ahmed argues that our only hope is to create space for a new world by negating the existing order. To achieve this new society, Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism outlines a practical philosophy of change that rejects ideologies of false hope and passive hopelessness. Drawing public attention to the decisiveness of the present historical moment, Ahmed introduces a critical theory of social emancipation based on post-Soviet revolutionary movements that have emerged at the margins of the global social order. The rise of socially and politically exclusionary movements in multiple parts of the world, ongoing ecological crisis, anti-Black racism, and the concretization of despair brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic demand a new approach to revolution, which Ahmed argues, must be rooted in the experiences of the most oppressed in society. Realizing the epistemological potential of emancipatory movements, Ahmed rejects dystopian nihilism and positions our focus on marginalized spaces to break out of capitalist totalitarianism.
Book Synopsis Nihilism and Technology by : Nolen Gertz
Download or read book Nihilism and Technology written by Nolen Gertz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heidegger, Marcuse, and Ellul warned against the rise of a technological mass culture. Philosophy of technology has since turned away from such dystopic views, promoting instead the view that we shape technologies just as technologies shape us. Yet the rise of Big Data has exceeded our worst fears about Big Brother, leading us to again question whether technologies are empowering us or enslaving us. Rather than engage in endless debates about whether technologies are making us better or making us worse, Nolen Gertz investigates what we think “better” and “worse” mean, and what role this thinking has played in the creation of our technological world. This investigation is carried out by using Nietzsche’s philosophy of nihilism in order to explore the ways in which our values mediate how we design technologies and how we use technologies. Examining our technological practices—practices ranging from Netflix and Chill to Fitbit and Move to Twitter and Rage—reveals how our nihilism and our technologies have become intertwined, creating a world of techno-hypnosis, data-driven activity, pleasure economics, herd networking, and orgies of clicking.
Book Synopsis The Problem of Affective Nihilism in Nietzsche by : Kaitlyn Creasy
Download or read book The Problem of Affective Nihilism in Nietzsche written by Kaitlyn Creasy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche is perhaps best known for his diagnosis of the problem of nihilism. Though his elaborations on this diagnosis often include descriptions of certain beliefs characteristic of the nihilist (such as beliefs in the meaninglessness or worthlessness of existence), he just as frequently specifies a variety of affective symptoms experienced by the nihilist that weaken their will and diminish their agency. This affective dimension to nihilism, however, remains drastically underexplored. In this book, Kaitlyn Creasy offers a comprehensive account of affective nihilism that draws on Nietzsche’s drive psychology, especially his reflections on affects and their transformative potential. After exploring Nietzsche’s account of affectivity (illuminating especially the transpersonal nature of affect in Nietzsche’s thought) and the phenomenon of affective nihilism, Creasy argues that affective nihilism might be overcome by employing a variety of Nietzschean strategies: experimentation, self-narration, and self-genealogy.

Book Synopsis Nihilism in Film and Television by : Kevin L. Stoehr
Download or read book Nihilism in Film and Television written by Kevin L. Stoehr and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the idea of nihilism, emphasized by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, through its appearance in modern popular culture. The author defines and reflects upon nihilism, then explores its manifestation in films and television shows. Among the subjects examined are the award-winning television series The Sopranos and the film noir genre that preceded and influenced it. Films probed include Orson Welles's masterpiece Citizen Kane, the films of Stanley Kubrick, Neil Jordan's controversial The Crying Game and Richard Linklater's unconventional Waking Life. Finally, the author considers nihilism in terms of the decay of traditional values in the genre of westerns, mostly through works of filmmaker John Ford. In the concluding chapter the author broadens the lessons gleaned from these studies, maintaining that the situated and embodied nature of human life must be understood and appreciated before people can overcome the life-negating effects of nihilism.

Book excerpt: Was he simply a depressed atheist or was he a genius philosopher? Friedrich Nietzsche's influence on the world of philosophy has undoubtedly been impressive. So what are we to think of this German thinker? Is his look on life and the universe truly negative? Or was he just misunderstood? What does it take to get to the deep meaning of his words? Did he see something beyond what the simple-minded perceive? His book, "Der Wille zur Macht" (The Will to Power) refers to what Nietzsche most likely thought to be the driving force in human beings, namely, accomplishment, ambition, and trying to become the highest out there. He was on to something, wasn't he? Aren't we all trying to become more in life? His theory on nihilism raises questions too: Is there an order to things, or do we just make that up to feed our convictions? It makes you wonder, doesn't it? With all the reasoning and rationalist thinkers, is nihilism the theory that counters this? And what to think of his views on Christianity, alcoholism, existentialism, and the Übermensch? Are we going to stick with Descartes' evidence that he exists because he thinks, or is a nihilist theory like that of Nietzsche's more plausible? In other words, does not exist? Read more about the answers to these questions and others in this brief but powerful guide to Nietzsche's life, theories, works, and prominent quotes. Click "add to cart" now!

Book Synopsis Nietzsche and Dostoevsky by : Paolo Stellino
Download or read book Nietzsche and Dostoevsky written by Paolo Stellino and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first time that Nietzsche crossed the path of Dostoevsky was in the winter of 1886–87. While in Nice, Nietzsche discovered in a bookshop the volume L’esprit souterrain. Two years later, he defined Dostoevsky as the only psychologist from whom he had anything to learn. The second, metaphorical encounter between Nietzsche and Dostoevsky happened on the verge of nihilism. Nietzsche announced the death of God, whereas Dostoevsky warned against the danger of atheism. This book describes the double encounter between Nietzsche and Dostoevsky. Following the chronological thread offered by Nietzsche’s correspondence, the author provides a detailed analysis of Nietzsche’s engagement with Dostoevsky from the very beginning of his discovery to the last days before his mental breakdown. The second part of this book aims to dismiss the wide-spread and stereotypical reading according to which Dostoevsky foretold and criticized in his major novels some of Nietzsche’s most dangerous and nihilistic theories. In order to reject such reading, the author focuses on the following moral dilemma: If God does not exist, is everything permitted?
