The Fool and His Enemy: Toward a Metaphysics of Evil

The Fool and His Enemy: Toward a Metaphysics of Evil

From his “schizophrenic prelude” to “the winepress of the wrath of God,” J.R. Nyquist travels imaginatively through the cratered mindscape of late capitalism past ideologies of revolutionary nihilism. Along the way, Nyquist blasts the fraudulence of Francis Fukuyama’s “end of history” as the final swindle of the West’s “hollow men.” In terms of the metaphysics of evil, what began with the self-pitying malice of Satan in Hell, ends in the inverted value system of Nietzsche’s Last Man. In this arresting and passionate essay, Nyquist decries the Heaven-on-Earth promises of socialism and the cowardice of the bourgeoisie. As remedy, he summons the heroes of Thomas Carlyle, finds Providence in the fall of a sparrow, interprets signs in the sky, and upholds the primacy of the spiritual over an epiphenomenal world of misunderstood objects. If you’ve ever wondered what lies behind the madness of modernity, read this book.
