Publisher Description Nietzsche and Heidegger saw in modernity a time endangered by nihilism. Starting out from this interpretation, David Levin links the nihilism raging today in Western society and culture to our concrete historical experience with vision. He demonstrates that the sufferings, needs and injustices of our world are connected to a mode of vision determined by the patriarchal will to power. He emphasizes that vision is a capacity , a gift of nature which can be developed by self-awareness; and he brings out for further development the rich affective, moral and spiritual potential inherent in our experience with vision.
