Simon Critchley - Very Little...Almost Nothing: Death, Philosophy, Literature

(Warwick Studies in European Philosophy)

Very Little ... Almost Nothing puts the question of the meaning of life back at the left of intellectual debate. Its central concern is how we can find a meaning to human finitude without recourse to anything that transcends that finitude. A profound but secular meditation on the theme of death, Critchley traces the idea of nihilism through Blanchot, Levinas, Jena Romanticism and Cavell, culminating in a reading of Beckett, in many ways the hero of the book. For this Second Edition, Simon Critchley has added a revealing and extended new preface, and a new chapter on Wallace Stevens which reflects on the idea of poetry as philosophy.

The "death of man", the "end of history" and even philosophy are strong and troubling currents running through contemporary debate. We seem to be confronted with such an "end" at every turning. Yet following Nietzsche's notorious heralding of the "death of god", philosophy's response to the issue of finitude has been found wanting. This volume accounts for this lack in philosophy through an exploration of Blanchot's conception of literature, Levinas' notion of the "il y a", Cavell's reading of romanticism and the presence of death in Beckett's work. These themes are drawn together not in an attempt to restore meaning in the face of finitude, but to enable us to see the meaningless of life as an achievement, the achievement of the ordinary or the everyday.

Reviews
& 8220;This is a brilliant book which covers a lot of the most profound continental thought over the last 100 or so years. Critchley works through the concept of nihilism and the 'death of God'via an analysis of several thinkers - Nietzsche, Heidegger, Beckett, Blanchot, Levinas - trying to demonstrate how such finitude, with a study literature, can be an optimistic and positive thing.

The book is important for any philosopher and in addition for those interested in continental thought and literary theory.
