The book includes quite abstract philosophical concepts, expressing the nihilist's worldview. They completely negated the meaning of life. For that reason, they also deny the existence of moral, political, or religious values. In nihilism, life has no intrinsic value and moral boundaries are merely artificial abstract constraints. Law and power are the core values of life

Among all the great thinkers of the past two hundred years, Nietzsche continues to occupy a special place--not only for a broad range of academics but also for members of a wider public, who find some of their most pressing existential concerns addressed in his works. Central among these concerns is the question of the meaning of a life characterized by inescapable suffering, at a time when the traditional responses inspired by Christianity are increasingly losing their credibility. While most recent studies of Nietzsche's works have lost sight of this fundamental issue, Bernard Reginster's book The Affirmation of Life brings it sharply into focus. Reginster identifies overcoming nihilism as a central objective of Nietzsche's philosophical project, and shows how this concern systematically animates all of his main ideas. In particular, Reginster's work develops an original and elegant interpretation of the will to power, which convincingly explains how Nietzsche uses this doctrine to mount a critique of the dominant Christian values, to overcome the nihilistic despair they produce, and to determine the conditions of a new affirmation of life. Thus, Reginster attributes to Nietzsche a compelling substantive ethical outlook based on the notions of challenge and creativity--an outlook that involves a radical reevaluation of the role and significance of suffering in human existence. Replete with deeply original insights on many familiar--and frequently misunderstood--Nietzschean concepts, Reginster's book will be essential to anyone approaching this towering figure of Western intellectual history.

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.

Film noir is a classic genre characterized by visual elements such as tilted camera angles, skewed scene compositions, and an interplay between darkness and light. Common motifs include crime and punishment, the upheaval of traditional moral values, and a pessimistic stance on the meaning of life and on the place of humankind in the universe. Spanning the 1940s and 1950s, the classic film noir era saw the release of many of Hollywood's best-loved studies of shady characters and shadowy underworlds, including Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep, Touch of Evil, and The Maltese Falcon. Neo-noir is a somewhat loosely defined genre of films produced after the classic noir era that display the visual or thematic hallmarks of the noir sensibility. The essays collected in The Philosophy of Neo-Noir explore the philosophical implications of neo-noir touchstones such as Blade Runner, Chinatown, Reservoir Dogs, Memento, and the films of the Coen brothers. Through the lens of philosophy, Mark T. Conard and the contributors examine previously obscure layers of meaning in these challenging films. The contributors also consider these neo-noir films as a means of addressing philosophical questions about guilt, redemption, the essence of human nature, and problems of knowledge, memory and identity. In the neo-noir universe, the lines between right and wrong and good and evil are blurred, and the detective and the criminal frequently mirror each other's most debilitating personality traits. The neo-noir detective—more antihero than hero—is frequently a morally compromised and spiritually shaken individual whose pursuit of a criminal masks the search for lost or unattainable aspects of the self. Conard argues that the films discussed in The Philosophy of Neo-Noir convey ambiguity, disillusionment, and disorientation more effectively than even the most iconic films of the classic noir era. Able to self-consciously draw upon noir conventions and simultaneously subvert them, neo-noir directors push beyond the earlier genre's limitations and open new paths of cinematic and philosophical exploration.

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.
