Nihil Unbound : Enlightenment and Extinction

This book pushes nihilism to its ultimate conclusion by linking revisionary naturalism in Anglo-American philosophy with anti-phenomenological realism in French philosophy. Contrary to the 'post-analytic' consensus uniting Heidegger and Wittgenstein against scientism and scepticism, this book links eliminative materialism and speculative realism.

RAY BRASSIER is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.
