The Nietzschean Legacy in Cultural Theory: A Study

Abstract

The usual view about the position of philosophy within contemporary thought is that, like so many other presences and discourses of truth that dotted the modem and pre-modern Western horizon, it is dead, and, therefore, of no relevance. No wonder, Derrida gives a whole inventory of what all has 'ended' under the postmodern, and he lists philosophy within it.
