When Nietzsche announced 'the advent of nihilism' in 1887/88, he
argued that he was sketching 'the history of the next two
centuries': 'For some time now', he wrote, 'our whole European
culture has been moving as toward catastrophe [...]: restlessly,
violently, headlong, like a river that want to reach the end, that
no longer reflects, that is afraid to reflect.' Can we gain a
ground for reflection upon our own condition? Can we heed
Nietzsche's warning? Can we respond to the challenge? In this book,
eleven newly commissioned essays from leading scholars offer an
attempt to grasp Nietzsche's prescience through Heidegger's
critique of it; attempting to think through the philosophical
consequences of the last century in reading the signs of our own
condition. The book also provides and fascinating and unique
discussion of some of the lesser-known texts of the later
Heidegger.
