Nihilism Now! 
Monsters of Energy

This volume aims to inspire a return to the energetics of Nietzsche »s prose and the critical intensity of his approach to nihilism and to give back to the future its rightful futurity. For too long contemporary thought has been dominated by a depressed  »what is to be done? ». All is regarded to be in vain, nothing is deemed real, there is nothing new seen under the sun. Such a  »postmodern » lament is easily confounded with an apathetic reluctance to think engagedly. Hence our contributors draw on the variety of topical issues: the future of life, the nature of life-forms, the techno-sciences, the body, religion…as a way of tackling the question of nihilism »s pertinence to us now.
