Abstract

This article reviews Bülent Diken’s recent book, Nihilism. In so doing, it focuses especially on the disjunctive synthesis between passive nihilism (post-politics, or contemporary society) and radical nihilism (the new terror). Finally, the article claims that Diken’s project is to resuscitate the idea of revolution, to reinvent the revolutionary politics.
