Nihilistic times: thinking with Max Weber
Cambridge, Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press (2023)
Abstract
Wendy Brown diagnoses a crisis of nihilism in the United States, as market ideals displace values of truth and integrity and identity politics encourage a destructive epidemic of victimhood. Taking strength from Max Weber's WWI-era calls for moral courage, Brown aims to renew commitments to basic values of citizenship and public life.Other Versions
