Challenging the Absolute

Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Europe's Struggle Against Fundamentalism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, written in the wake of such influential European thinkers as Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, and Vattimo, Simon Oliai argues that unless the â Europeanâ affirmation of manâ s finite existence becomes universal, we shall never rid ourselves of the repressive shadow of a long dead metaphysical idol.
