Veil Jourde’s Philosophy Mornings – 2nd edition

What is “nihilism”, and can it characterize contemporary Western society?

Such was the question at the center of the rich discussions during the 2nd edition of the “Philosophy” Mornings of Veil Jourde.

David Simonetta, professor of philosophy, explored this notion theorized by Nietzsche, from its appearance in Tsarist Russia under the pen of Ivan Turgenev’s pen, to its use – and even manipulation – by certain contemporary Western schools of thought.
