Experience Of Nothingness by Novak, Michael Novak (Introduction)

From the Publisher

In The Experience of Nothingness, Michael Novak has two objectives. First, he shows the paths by which the experience of nothingness is becoming common among all those who live in free societies. Second, he details the various experiences that lead to a new sense of emptiness. The Experience of Nothingness is a work that will cause many scholars to rethink their beliefs. It should be read by philosophers, theologians, sociologists, political theorists, and cultural historians.

Library Journal

"Novak has presented us with an important reflection on a timely subject," said LJ's reviewer. Here, philosopher Novak waxes on humankind's "growing awareness of inner emptiness" (LJ 7/70) and our ability nonetheless to carry ourselves beyond despair. This edition contains a new introduction in which Novak delves further into his theory. This much ado about nothing is more for the academic crowd.
