The Banalization of Nihilism: Twentieth-Century Responses to Meaninglessness by Karen L. Carr

Booknews

A century ago, says Carr (religious studies, Lawrence U.), nihilism was an enemy Nietzsche could battle, but now, like smog, it is so pervasive we can no longer even see it. She warns that the uncritical acceptance of nihilism by postmodernism will lead to intellectual paralysis,, and eventually to its nemesis, dogmatism. Paper edition (unseen), $12.95. Annotation c.
