Description

What would the world be like if we no longer needed meaning? This work charts the collapse of the metaphysical world, and the inate human need for meaning. With the decline of Christianity and the demise of secular universalism in the west, the meaning and value of metaphysical culture has been replaced by an entirely new post-metaphysical world. In this book, Carey revisits the social theory of Nietzche, Freud and Rorty, in order to conceive how this post-metaphysical culture may take shape in the third millennium. This work should appeal to scholars and readers interested in sociology, post-modernism, cultural studies, political theory, and philosophy.
