Very Little ... Almost Nothing puts the question of the meaning
of life back at the centre of intellectual debate. Its central
concern is how we can find a meaning to human finitude without
recourse to anything that transcends that finitude. A profound but
secular meditation on the theme of death, Critchley traces the idea
of nihilism through Blanchot, Levinas, Jena Romanticism and Cavell,
culminating in a reading of Beckett, in many ways the hero of the
book.
In this second edition, Simon Critchley has added a revealing and
extended new preface, and a new chapter on Wallace Stevens which
reflects on the idea of poetry as philosophy.
