The new millennium, by contrast, appears to have opened under the guise of generalized insecurity, which pertains not only to the historical and social situation, or to one's personal psychological predicament, but to our very being. The Earth's current faltering and the twilight of every convention that might govern it--where roles, images, and languages become confused by a lack of direction and distance--were already powerfully prophesied in Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eHamlet, \u003c\/i\u003e and later in the works of Kafka and Beckett. In \u003ci\u003eHamletics\u003c\/i\u003e, Massimo Cacciari, one of Italy's foremost philosophers and leftist political figures, establishes a dialogue between these fateful authors, exploring the relationship between European nihilism and the aporias of action in the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Massimo Cacciari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Italian List\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803092669","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42440496578697,"sku":"9781803092669","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b676f68c-64e4-40e0-8534-f0a09077452a.jpg?v=1716238766","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/hamletics-shakespeare-kafka-beckett-9781803092669","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
