What elevated truth to this existential position? The answer is: philosophy. The philosophical will to truth opens the door to nihilism, since it both makes identifying truth the utmost aim and yet continually calls it into question. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBaker develops the central insight that the crises of truth and of existence, or 'loss of world', that occur within nihilistic thought are inseparable, in a wide-ranging study from antiquity to the present, from ancient Cynics, St Paul, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Agamben, and Badiou.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBaker contends that since nihilism is always a question of the relation to the world occasioned by the philosophical will to truth, an answer to nihilism must be able to propose a new understanding of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48949633974507,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":87.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781350136748-1.jpg?v=1783098201","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781350136748","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
