Warwick Studies in European Philosophy
This worn, coffee-stained library copy of Simon Critchley鈥檚 Very Little鈥� Almost Nothing reflects its lasting impact. Published in the Warwick Studies in European Philosophy series鈥攅dited by former Warwick professor Andrew Benjamin鈥攖he book exemplifies the department鈥檚 1990s engagement with existentialism and the intersection of philosophy and literature. Critchley, now Hans Jonas Professor at The New School, explores death, meaning, and self-creation in a godless world. On page 25, a reader underlined: 鈥淚n the face of a God-less world, individual authenticity produces itself through acts of self-invention and self-creation.鈥�
