Описание: Contemporary politics is faced, on the one hand, with political stagnation and lack of a progressive vision on the side of formal, institutional politics, and, on the other, with various social movements that venture to challenge modern understandings of representation, participation,and democracy. Interestingly, both institutional and anti-institutional sides of this antagonism tend to accuse each other of "nihilism", namely, of mere oppositional destructiveness and failure to offer a constructive, positive alternative to the status quo. Nihilism seems, then, all engulfing. In order to better understand this political situation and ourselves within it,The Politics of Nihilism proposes a thorough theoretical examination of the concept of nihilism and its historical development followed by critical studies of Israeli politics and culture. The authors show that, rather than a mark of mutual opposition and despair, nihilism is a fruitful category for tracing and exploring the limits of political critique, rendering them less rigid and opening up a space of potentiality for thought, action, and creation.

Описание: This book reconstructs the lines of nihilism that Walter Benjamin took from Friedrich Nietzsche that define both his theory of art and the avant-garde, and his approach to political action.
Despite the improving human condition and our increasing prosperity as a species, a sense of collective existential dread is intensifying beneath the surface. While there is every reason to be optimistic about our future, people across the Western world are instead relentlessly pursuing a fatal combination of nihilism and hedonism; simply put, the belief that nothing really matters and immediate pleasure is the only thing worth pursuing.
In his groundbreaking first book, Luke Schiller attributes this very puzzling discrepancy to a cause that we are all too eager to avoid talking about - a crisis of meaning.
By initially taking us on a brief yet fascinating historical journey in humanity's quest for understanding, Schiller compellingly argues that this preeminent crisis of meaning has been brought about by five crucial trends. Understanding these trends and acknowledging the existence of this crisis, Schiller argues, are the first steps in being able to mend ourselves.
A formula for solving this crisis is precisely what Schiller then offers. The insights contained in this book, combined with its masterfully-crafted framework of meaning, provide us with a practical, transformative, and deeply fulfilling enterprise at a time when it is needed most.
It is time to reconceptualise what life is all about - before it is too late. There is no better place to start.

Описание: This book reconstructs the lines of nihilism that Walter Benjamin took from Friedrich Nietzsche that define both his theory of art and the avant-garde, and his approach to political action. It retraces the eccentric route of Benjamin's philosophical discourse in the representation of the modern as a place of “permanent catastrophe”, where he attempts to overcome the Nietzschean nihilism through messianic hope. Using conventions from literary criticism this book explores the many sources of Benjamin's thought, demonstrating that behind the materialism which Benjamin incorporates into his Theses on the Concept of History is hidden Nietzsche's nihilism. Mauro Ponzi analyses how Benjamin’s Arcades Project uses figures such as Baudelaire, Marx, Aragon, Proust and Blanqui as allegories to explain many aspects of modernity. The author argues that Benjamin uses Baudelaire as a paradigm to emphasize the dark side of the modern era, offering us a key to the interpretation of communicative and cultural trends of today.
