New Publication: Prof. Dr. Costantino Esposito

 

Prof. Dr. Costantino Esposito, research fellow at the International Center of Studies on Contemporary Nihilism (CeNic), has published The New Nihilism. The Existential Crisis of Our Time (Notre Dame University Press, 2024). This book was originally published in Italian (Il nichilismo del nostro tempo – Carocci, 2021) and has been translated into Spanish (El nihilismo de nuestro tiempo – Ediciones Encuentro, 2021), Russian (Совремеменнный нигилилизм. Хроника – Ripol Classic, 2022), Portuguese (O Nihilismo de nosso tempo – Edições Loyola, 2023) and English for the present edition. In this book, Prof. Esposito argues that nihilism is not simply the loss of classical Western values, but can also be an opportunity to ask pertinent questions about the meaning of man and the world. In this way, the author suggests that, rather than being an obstacle, nihilism can become an opportunity to search for the true meaning of our experience in the world.
