Nihilistic Times: Thinking with Max Weber (The Tanner Lectures on Human Values) Hardcover – Import, 11 April 2023
Wendy Brown diagnoses a late-modern nihilism that trivializes values-including truth itself-and reduces politics to narcissism and power-mongering. Rereading Max Weber, who saw a similar predicament in his own time, Brown seeks to reground political action in responsibility and reorient classrooms to the critical thinking citizens need today.
