Book Description
I am amazingly capable of not needing other people to keep me in company. A self-sufficient creature I have made myself into. Any and all terminology is long lost upon the definition of my personal being. Because of being overlooked by all manner of beast I have transcended without transcendence. There certainly is a note and rhyme why transcendence is no more. Did not survive. You see the various versions of what once was. The All bow and meow and scrape around with the memory of a past that is simply all gone. Not me to criticize in this vein. Only to place the facts in front of the face. I am not of interest to these tropes and lost lineages of diatribe and innuendo. Timely destruction from to there is good enough. They all made their choices from here and back to there. Only that these choices are not academic anymore and only thin shavings of not how the Mighty have fallen; but how they have all been so easily forgotten. Nothing of the Power or any Glory remains. Only the whisper of clouds on the horizon is voice to their passing’s. Nothing. Such luminaries are as invisible as the air we breathe. No. The common Beast (Man and Woman) prove our point every time. They are contained within each other and singularly yet never for long and only in weakness or complaint. One or the other keeps the flat line steady. And why not? Why not? Man and Woman should have fun and play it up! Should they not? It feels so hard for them to be a two-legged runner and to me they are Forever vacationers simply looking for an easy exit. My greatest concern is being without succor I am fortunate as long as I can have myself to myself without assistance. I am always hopeful that I will be okay but know that being a job, a slave and a servant to the ugly machine the beast covets dearly is ultimately its greatest dead end. The Beasts entire rule is function. No more. I despised the result, and I can inform of it from one end of this Universe to another. They will pay. But I am not going to say I am secure in the fact of my greatness until further assurance. So far it is just chance that is my beacon. I want more and more years to see how it happens. A good ending? Yes, I would want to be able to say. The Memoir of Clay Scott Brown

Book Description
"Medical nihilism is the view that we should have little confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions. This book argues that medical nihilism is a compelling view of modern medicine. If we consider the frequency of failed medical interventions, the extent of misleading evidence in medical research, the thin theoretical basis of many interventions, and the malleability of empirical methods in medicine, and if we employ our best inductive framework, then our confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions ought to be low" --

Book Description
Friedrich Nietzsche is famous for saying, "Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me."That quote is the quintessential, ironic, nihilistic statement. To a nihilist, life presents little to no value, and yet they provide not value or context by which to judge it; at least that's how we interpret it. Merriam-Webster defines nihilism as, "A viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless."Now we at Tiger Hero Media don't subscribe to the nihilist's philosophy, but we do find humor in it. That is why we created The Nihilist Notebook, chock full of almost no value. Each and every page is filled with near emptiness, but allows for someone to expand on their own nihilistic values, if they ever had the impulse to add to it...which they probably wouldn't. Maybe you have a friend who resembles this idea, and you're looking for a gift that fits his philosophy. Or perhaps you want to anonymously drop it on the desk of that cantankerous ethics professor you had last semester; the one that gave you a substandard grade because you cared too much. Even better, maybe you want to fill every single page with thoughts, doodles, sketches, or ephemera, and then show that off in a nihilist sub-reddit, just to make them upset... if they even cared at all.All kidding aside, we made this notebook for fun, and we hope you have fun with it too. Get your hands on it here on Amazon only-you won't find this on the shelves of Spencer's Gifts (unless they steal our idea, but whatever).THE DETAILS- 6x9" 110-Page Notebook- Bright white, acid-free paper - Matte-lustre cover, because nothing shines in a nihilists world- Perfect for note taking, journaling, sketching or drawing- Can also be used as a scrapbook, slam book, for poetry, music, or even daily meditations about nothingTIGER HERO MEDIA is an independent publisher of unique books, magazines, journals and other print related projects.

Book Description
This book is our century's most comprehensive and wise treatment of nihilism in all of its guises, comparing favorably with Rosen, Cavell, and indeed with Spengler. Crosby argues that our culture is genuinely haunted by nihilism expressing itself in the fideism of fundamentalism as well as in the debilitating alienation from all orientation. This results from a one-sided development of Western culture. Unlike most writers on this topic, Crosby acknowledges many sources colluding to frame the culture of nihilism, including "the death of God," the objectification of nature, the meaninglessness of suffering in a mechanical universe, the ephemerality of time in a world where value does not accumulate, the arbitrariness of historicized reason, the reduction of value to will, and the alienation of the Cartesian ego. These sources are reviewed in the first two parts of the book with the result that the phenomenon of nihilism becomes understandable. In its third and fourth parts, Crosby provides a critical analysis of the religious and philosophical forces leading to nihilism by discussing authors from the early modern period through Dostoyevsky, Sartre, Russell, and Derrida. He shows that these forces are skewed and impoverished and should not be allowed to determine our situation. The comprehensive attention to detail and the multi-perspectival interpretation demonstrates as well as asserts the richness of the culture that puts nihilism in its place. Part Five, finally, rephrases the criticism of the sources of nihilism in positive ways. Part Four in particular is a tour de force of philosophical argument. Its richness of nuance, plurality of views examined, and adroitness of critical interpretation provide cumulatively a powerful, non-nihilistic reading of the philosophic tradition. The force of the argument derives from its comprehensive, cumulative character. Crosby distinguishes and relates five areas of nihilism: political, moral, epistemological, cosmic, and existential. Throughout the book, he illustrates and examines these as they are expressed in literature and art, in daily life and practical affairs, and in philosophy. The book is richly erudite in its marshalling of consciousness from so many domains.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
An examination of the meaning of meaninglessness: why it matters that nothing matters. When someone is labeled a nihilist, it's not usually meant as a compliment. Most of us associate nihilism with destructiveness and violence. Nihilism means, literally, “an ideology of nothing. “ Is nihilism, then, believing in nothing? Or is it the belief that life is nothing? Or the belief that the beliefs we have amount to nothing? If we can learn to recognize the many varieties of nihilism, Nolen Gertz writes, then we can learn to distinguish what is meaningful from what is meaningless. In this addition to the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Gertz traces the history of nihilism in Western philosophy from Socrates through Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre. Although the term “nihilism” was first used by Friedrich Jacobi to criticize the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Gertz shows that the concept can illuminate the thinking of Socrates, Descartes, and others. It is Nietzsche, however, who is most associated with nihilism, and Gertz focuses on Nietzsche's thought. Gertz goes on to consider what is not nihilism—pessimism, cynicism, and apathy—and why; he explores theories of nihilism, including those associated with Existentialism and Postmodernism; he considers nihilism as a way of understanding aspects of everyday life, calling on Adorno, Arendt, Marx, and prestige television, among other sources; and he reflects on the future of nihilism. We need to understand nihilism not only from an individual perspective, Gertz tells us, but also from a political one.
