The working class philosopher author of this book continues in this collection of essays to develop and promote nihilism as a morality for working class struggle in Technological Society. His prior writings such as "An Existential Philosophy of Law" sought to contemplate and develop systemically and conceptually nihilism as a morality. This book is indexical and exemplifies how nihilism can be used as a moral basis conceptually and analytically to contemplate practical and pragmatic problems in Technological Society. Though some essays reference the author's prior work, all essays in this book stand on their own and can be read and understood on their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read.

Val's penultimate work, Social Apostasy and Agnosia, is an excellent compendium of Diviacchism. It bears reading more than once. His analysis of Technological Society was prophetic in its anticipation of contemporary political and social developments, particularly the preponderance of class warfare masked by thorough language confusion about race (pp. 49-60) and gender (pp. 26-30), which divides and distracts from the 'revolt of the ruling class' against democracy and any real improvement of historic economic inequality. The insight concerning liberal ideology as ersatz religion recalls Eric Voegelin's 'immanentization of the eschaton'. Val's identification of agnosia returns us to the origins of western philosophy in Parmenides' fragments. We anticipate his upcoming satire, 2084, which is the only sensible response to the current morass of social and intellectual confusion. Philip Hogan

All nine of Diviacchi's books on philosophy are outstanding. Individually and together, they offer a profound and coherent point of view that far surpasses the pinched range of acceptable opinion in extensity, insight, coherence, and value. This is another book by Diviacchi focusing concretely on ways we may respond creatively (perhaps even playfully) to the delirium (intense emotion and stubborn irrationality) of the Global Technological System in which we are caught ever more tightly.
