26Derrida 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.

45Lyotard, 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
