Modern nihilism. Chronicle. Esposito K.

Modern nihilism is an open question, and a new everyday life and a product of the consumer society. As a form of thinking, in the past revolutionary and courageous, led us to the silent constant “There are no values ​​and no ideals”? To deny and not look for anything - now, in the most difficult realities - a dead end or liberation?

Kostantino Esposito, an Italian academician and a philosophy teacher at the Bari University, leads a chronicle of this phenomenon and shows how nihilism is displayed in elements of modern culture. This is conversations with students, and thoughts on the texts of Wallace, McCarthy, Welbek, company, Heidegger and Nietzsche, paintings by Albert Burri and Lucho Fontan, even the series “Real Detective” and the cartoon “Puzzle”. The author gave readers at this alarming time therapeutic and enthusiastic text that flickers in the darkness.
