43Lyotard, nihilism and educationStudies in Philosophy and Education 25 (4): 303-314. 2006.This paper argues the Lyotard's The Postmodern Condition is to be interpreted as a response to nihilism, especially in relation to the question of the legitimation of knowledge and the so-called crisis of narratives, and that, therefore, it provides an appropriate response to the question of nihilism in educational philosophy. The paper begins with a discussion of Nietzsche's and Heidegger's views of nihilism as a prolegomenon to Lyotard's views concerning European nihilism and the end of grand …Read more

In the past the archive has functioned as a central m…Read more

34Derrida and the tasks for the new humanities: postmodern nursing and the culture warsNursing Philosophy 3 (1): 47-57. 2002.Jacques Derrida is perhaps the foremost philosopher of the humanities and of its place in the university.

Through his deconstructive readings and writings he has done much not only to reinvent the western tradition by attending closely to those texts which constitute it but also he has redefined its procedures and protocols. This paper first introduces the notion of postmoder…Read more
