Through the genealogy I will try to define discourse in broadly Derridean terms, as related by Martin, and use the constructive ideas following from it. I wish to avoid the "relegation of the subject", which I find in Martin, because of a "romantic" agenda (to be found in Lukacs and Camus) which treats the subject as a centre of meaning. This is a logical necessity - nihilism is essentially the belief in nothing and meaning is its opposite. This conception of the subject will be linked to a concept of discourse. Due to the constraint of space, and my own reading habits, I regret that I have not given sufficient space to the issue of gender. However, I have not ascribed gender to "the inmate" and have tried to deal with positionality and the heroine (in Dostoyevsky's work). In this text I have used reasoned arguments to present my case but regret that I have not had the space or time to pursue Derrida's question as to the status of Foucault's critique of reason. This text occurs within the discourse of philosophy and its rationalism is a recognition of this. The text is Nomadic, it travels via the route of philosophical argument to the irrational domain of subjects and meaning. Derrida, in `Spurs' recognises that the history of truth is appropriation and that style must be plural. Is genealogy an appropriation of the philosophical style? When I turn my attention to the role of discourse, discourse will be shown to exist not merely as a function of language but also of power, i.e., I am presenting a philosophical argument, thus the styles of this work.

Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals Main July 13, 2003 the nihilism of academe I have been meaning to write about this article The Flight from Knowing by Lisa Ruddick-ever since I came across it courtesy of Invisible Adjunct and Amanda at Household Opera. Its taken a couple of days since real life has intervened. Lisa Ruddick has raised an important issue. From my Nietzschean perspective she is describing nihilism in the everyday practices of academe in the corporate university. The values of the humanitiesthe human in the humanities as Invisible Adjunct puts it have been hollowed out. It links in with a previous post of mine. Let me spell out the argument. Lisa starts her article by saying that after 9/11 a question presses in on her and her students. It is: "...how to bridge the chasm between the syllabuswhatever it containsand the students who are looking for help in figuring out how to sustain a humane connection to a world that’s overwhelming them....and I feel as if I'm in two different worlds. For years, scholarship in English has been refining the art of stepping away from humane connection.... Maybe some percentage of you will identify with the experience of a recent Ph.D. from my department... who told me that since the terrorist attacks she’s found less comfort than she expected in working on her book project, and confessed that right now she can't blame the people who look at our discipline and say, "What's the point? If you're not getting at anything that sustains people, what's the point?"

Philosophy.Com 'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals Main October 06, 2003 nihilism approaches? The conception of the classical Enlightenment in this paper is about right. It also rightly depicts American liberals, such as John Rawls, as working within this Enlightenment tradition, however much they have modified it with their idea of public reason as democratic deliberation. But Smith argues that there is a decay in this tradition which has become the culture of western liberal democracies. That decay is what Nietzsche called nihilism. The classical Enlightenment was concerned with liberating truth from culture-it sought Absolute truth. And we live with the historicist reaction todaythat reason is a part of our culture and we cannot escape from our history or get outside our language to see the world as it really is in itself. The danger is that reason becomes an instrumental reason-a means to achieve pre-given ends-and so it is unable to evaluate competing ends, or to provide justifications for the values that underpin the nation's constitution. What it pushes into the background is the whole process of evaluating and choose competing value ends.

WHAT IS NIHILISM? Nihilism Defined Historical Nihilism A Little Perspective Nihilism As Philosophy ... Comments? "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless." -Steven Weinberg, physicist Nihilism Defined A common (but misleading) description of nihilism is the 'belief in nothing'. Instead, a far more useful one would substitute 'faith' for 'belief' where faith is defined as the " firm belief in something for which there is no proof. there is no final purpose . This is the simple beauty nihilism has that no other idea-set does. By breaking free from the tethers of teleology one is empowered in outlook and outcome because for the first time it's possible to find answers without proceeding from pre-existing perceptions. We're finally free to find out what's really out there and not just the partial evidence to support original pretext and faulty notions only making a hell on earth in the process. So f**k teleology too. Nihilism is primarily skepticism coupled with reduction but in practical reality it takes on more than one facet which often leads to a confusion of definitions. In the most general sense nihilism has two major classifications, the first is passive and usually goes by the term existential or 'social' nihilism and the second is active and is termed 'political' nihilism.

Our hero retrieves the program from his stash inside a hollowed-out book of philosophy by Jean Baudrillard entitled “Simulation and Simulacra.” In a film chocked full of symbolism, this seemingly innocuous moment is actually one of the more blatant significations employed in The Matrix. We all know the Wachowski brothers are quite well rounded when it comes to serving up metaphors, covering everything in the film from Lewis Carroll to Plato to Jesus Christ. Baudrillard provides them with a springboard by which they explore contemporary thinking and plays a more fundamental role in their creativity than one might expect at first blush.

37. Nietzsche And Postmodernist Nihilism Against the cottage industry of Nietzschean apologists, they rightly indict him as a nihilist whose unfettered philosophy has no resources for either http://www.gospelcom.net/ivpress/groothuis/nietzsch.html

Nietzsche and Postmodernist Nihilism By Douglas Groothuis A study of recent publications addressing postmodernism yields a myriad of materials and a panoply of perspectives. When did we or will we "cross the postmodern divide"? Is modernity really dead or only wounded? What identifies, if anything, the postmodernist posture? Although postmodernist philosophy is too diverse to corral into a tidy definition, one way of understanding it and assessing some of its common themes is to look to the thought of a predecessor, Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche, once hailed as a father of existentialism, has now come a kind of posthumous prophet for postmodernism, which often deems him a pioneering voice for its suspicion of universal rationality, morality, objectivity, and Western Christian sensibilities in general. Postmodernists also find in him an emphasis on the conventionality and contingency of all institutions and moralities, which, when deconstruct ( a la Michel Foucault) end up as no more than self justifying arrangements of power. Thinkers such as Richard Rorty look to Nietzsche as an inspiration for their escape from the orbit of modernity, especially from its emphasis on objective truth and meaning that exists apart from evaluating agents.

One of these webpages provides commentary on the rapid development of the California Spaceport, on the western lands of the ancient Chumash Indians. This spaceport is located west of Santa Barbara, near a remote Indian religious shrine called Point Conception. One of my webpages features commentary on and emotional anthropological debate that is featured in the international journal called Current Anthropology. In a web review, I described a controversial article being discussed in the debate as "filled with academic jargon influenced by post-modern anthropological nihilism." This assessment generated a considerable amount of mail, mostly from from web users asking me to elaborate on the topic of academic nihilisim.

Home Biography Writing Consulting ... Links TRANSHUMANISM Towards a Futurist Philosophy Max More, Ph.D. maxmore@primenet.com more@extropy.org http://www.primenet.com/~maxmore Religion, Eupraxophy, and Transhumanism Humanity is in the early stages of a period of explosive expansion in knowledge, freedom, intelligence, lifespan, and wisdom. Yet our species persists in old conceptual structures and processes which act as a drag on progress. One of the worst is religious thinking. In this essay I will show how religion acts as an entropic force, standing against our advancement into transhumanity and our future as posthumans. At the same time I will acknowledge the necessary and positive role that religions have played in giving meaning and structure to our lives. The alternative to religion is not a despairing nihilism, nor a sterile scientism, but transhumanism. Humanism, while a major step in the right direction, contains too many outdated values and ideas. Extropianism the principal form of transhumanism moves beyond humanism, focusing on our evolutionary future. Before launching the discussion it will be helpful to distinguish between the notions of religion, humanism, transhumanism, posthuman, eupraxophy, and Extropianism.
