Description
Very Little ... Almost Nothing puts the question of the meaning of life back at the centre of intellectual debate.
Its central concern is how we can find a meaning to human finitude without recourse to anything that transcends that finitude.
A profound but secular meditation on the theme of death, Critchley traces the idea of nihilism through Blanchot, Levinas, Jena Romanticism and Cavell, culminating in a reading of Beckett, in many ways the hero of the book.
In this second edition, Simon Critchley has added a revealing and extended new preface, and a new chapter on Wallace Stevens which reflects on the idea of poetry as philosophy.
