Description: Nihilism by André Cancian Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A bold philosophical defense of existential nihilism based on modern science. * * * When we imagine a machine, the result is always something close to a mechanical system that works by itself. It doesnt bother us to think that its nothing beyond that. But how do we feel when we imagine ourselves as a machine? Empty. We have the feeling that something is missing. And what is missing? Whats there in a human that is missing in a machine? Illusion. The emptiness of the machine is the consciousness that our subjective world is a fiction; the consciousness that our humanity is a delirium, and that theres nothing behind what we are living. We are machines, and our consciousness is a dream of this machine. Nothing else. Absolutely nothing. * * * "Great. I cannot remember the last time I read something so interesting."- John "Divine essay, in a borrowed sense. It took me 40 years to understand this. A text like when I was 18 would have solved my search for the real nihilism. Worth more than the Zarathustra."- Jurandir Vieira da Silva "Great essay. Special highlight for the phrase: It is preferable to live in a meaningless world to believing in a false meaning to the world, one that points nowhere. When we are seeking a grandiose (and fanciful) sense of life, we end up giving little value to life itself. The act of living is the meaning of life."- André Felix "In one word: great! More adjectives would be disposable."- Tom Carano "I have it printed at the head of the bed to reread it a few more times. Great!"- Julio Neves Details ISBN 1983046310 ISBN-13 9781983046315 Title Nihilism Author André Cancian Format Paperback Year 2018 Pages 56 Publisher Independently Published GE_Item_ID:128303563; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
