Beauty Looks After Herself

Meer over het boek

The introduction by Catherine Pickstock highlights the historical erosion of transcendental meaning in the Real over 600 years, leading to a contemporary existence characterized by an "unbearable lightness of being." This shift has created a landscape filled with superficial nihilism, where numerous possibilities lack substantive value. The book delves into these themes, exploring the implications of a reality stripped of deeper significance and the resulting cultural malaise.
