| Description | This special issue of Flusser Studies 38 approaches the topic of presence of nihilism in Vilém Flusser ´s thinking. It is inspired on the International Congress “Philosophy and Literature: Nihilism across boundaries” realized on the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto (Portugal), in June 2023, where some of the papers presented there explicitly focused on Flusser’s view of nihilism. And so the idea was born to bring the broader debate to a wide readership. While the question of nihilism is not usually explicit in most of Flusser's texts, it is, on the other hand, almost omnipresent as a starting point for his critique of contemporary thought and its consequences. In these articles, a number of established researchers in Flusserian studies show the various ways in which Flusser dealt with this concept. |
