When Nietzsche announced 'the advent of nihilism' in 1887/88, he argued that he was sketching 'the history of the next two centuries': 'For some time now', he wrote, 'our whole European culture has been moving as toward catastrophe [...]: restlessly, violently, headlong, like a river that want to reach the end, that no longer reflects, that is afraid to reflect.'Can we gain a ground for reflection upon our own condition? Can we heed Nietzsche's warning? Can we respond to the challenge? In this book, eleven newly commissioned essays from leading scholars offer an attempt to grasp Nietzsche's prescience through Heidegger's critique of it; attempting to think through the philosophical consequences of the last century in reading the signs of our own condition. The book also provides and fascinating and unique discussion of some of the lesser-known texts of the later Heidegger.

I would recommend this collection of essays... for a number of strategies for where to begin a thinking of nihilism from out of the Nietzschean/Heideggerian context. Although this context may speak to many concerns, one of the more interesting is the direction towards which the collection is directed, which is a re-thinking of the political. It might well be that Heidegger, perhaps best known for his indefensible political action, will still yet offer some future for the philosophical thinking of the political.
