The philosophical will to truth opens the door to nihilism, since it both makes identifying truth the utmost aim and yet continually calls it into question. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBaker develops the central insight that the crises of truth and of existence, or 'loss of world', that occur within nihilistic thought are inseparable, in a wide-ranging study from antiquity to the present, from ancient Cynics, St Paul, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Agamben, and Badiou. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBaker contends that since nihilism is always a question of the relation to the world occasioned by the philosophical will to truth, an answer to nihilism must be able to propose a new understanding of truth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGideon Baker\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the School of Government and International Relations, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47346532909305,"sku":"9781350136748","price":86.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TDFVa0dVUlI1WldWOVNXM3RNMVZrUT09_5bc162ef-1d83-4796-841f-3dc8df047790.webp?v=1769750609","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/nihilism-and-philosophy-nothingness-truth-and-world-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
