| Publisher Description: The View from Nowhere is a cross-disciplinary work that studies the impact of the mystical discourse, specifically Cabala, on literature, from the Renaissance to the present. The other major concern of The View from Nowhere is to evaluate the "reading" of postmodern simulation-theory, principally that of Jean Baudrillard of Kierkegaardian and Nietzschean existentialism. |
