Description
Simon Critchley's Very Little-- Almost Nothing explores the meaning of life in the face of human finitude. By examining key philosophical and literary thinkers, including Blanchot, Levinas, Jena Romanticism, Cavell, and Wallace Stevens, Critchley seeks to understand how we can find meaning without transcending our finite existence.
The book is a profound meditation on death, tracing the idea of nihilism through various intellectual traditions. A new preface and chapter have been added in this second edition, offering further insights into the relationship between poetry and philosophy.
