Nihil Unbound: Enlightenment and Extinction

R. Brassier

Palgrave Macmillan UK, Nov 8, 2007 - Philosophy - 275 pages

This book pushes nihilism to its ultimate conclusion by linking revisionary naturalism in Anglo-American philosophy with anti-phenomenological realism in French philosophy. Contrary to the 'post-analytic' consensus uniting Heidegger and Wittgenstein against scientism and scepticism, this book links eliminative materialism and speculative realism.
