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.
This collection presents a critical dialogue on managerialist forms
of government between philosophy, political thought, organisational
and management theory. The volume brings together essays that are
concerned with technologies of government that are articulated as
different iterations of managerialism. The hallmark of
managerialist discourse is value, considered as a quantifiable
abstraction, where the intention is to always 'add value'. The
central question addressed here by a team of international expert
authors from across a range of disciplines is this: in what ways
has this abstraction of value impacted on the substantive work and
ethical integrity of government and the public sector, and, more
broadly, of the professions (including that of management itself)?
Has it displaced this work, or simply recast it? The volume
addresses audiences in social sciences, philosophy, management,
business, and organisational studies.
