{"product_id":"0791408345","title":"The Banalization of Nihilism: Twentieth-Century Responses to Meaninglessness","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eTo Some, Nihilism Is Losing Its Crisis Connotations And Becoming Simply An Unobjectionable Characteristic Of Human Life. Carr Argues That This Transformation Ultimately Absolutizes Community Preference And Reflects An Increasing Inability To Criticize And Change The Existing Structures Of Thought. The Author Contends That The Uncritical Acceptance Of Nihilism, Which Characterizes Much Of Postmodernism, Ironically Culminates In Its Complete Opposition- Dogmatism. Part One : The Uncanniest Of All Guests -- The Problem Of Nihilism -- Understanding Nihilism -- Part Two : Nihilism And Crisis -- Nietzsche And The Crisis Of Nihilism -- Karl Barth And The Theology Of Crisis -- Richard Rorty And The Dissolution Of Crisis -- Part Three : The Resolution Of Nihilism -- Discontented Verses Unrepentant Nihilism.
