Book Description:
|
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.
