Description
Explore the deep roots and modern impact of nihilism with this academic study from Routledge. This book investigates the genealogy of nihilism and examines its consequences in our contemporary world. By attempting to sociologize the concept, the text connects nihilism to major global themes including capitalism, post-politics, and terrorism. Written by Bulent Diken, a senior lecturer at Lancaster University, this work provides a rigorous look at how these concepts interact. The text goes beyond simple definitions to consider the actual possibilities of overcoming nihilism in modern society. It is a necessary read for students and scholars interested in sociology, urban studies, and political philosophy. Whether you are studying the effects of capitalism or the rise of post-politics, this book offers a structured approach to understanding one of the most complex ideas of our time.
