Martin Heidegger’s (1889-1976) criticism of Friedrich
Nietzsche’s nihilism represented a ‘turn’ in his thought. In
this new and perceptive book, Dominic Kelly explores nihilism
through the work of two relatively modern and much studied
philosophers; Heidegger and Nietzsche and shows how Heidegger began
to think in a way that was not solely philosophical and instead
used poetry to achieve a new relation to being. In doing so,
Heidegger was able to move past Nietzsche’s concepts and thus,
nihilism itself. Through his exploration of Heidegger’s journey
to a form of thinking beyond the philosophical then, Kelly exposes
nihilism’s crucial place in Continental philosophy and has
written a book that is essential for students and academics working
in Heidegger studies. Kelly’s engagement with Heidegger’s more
poetic philosophy also benefits students of metaphysics, the
philosophy of art and aesthetics, and visual culture more widely.
By putting nihilism into its historical context and examining its
Ancient Greek origins, Kelly’s book will also be of use to those
studying early philosophical thought - a requirement for all
philosophy courses – and provides a valuable account of
nihilism’s historical trajectory.
