The theme connecting the essays collected in this book is a sense of looming death that the author thinks philosophy has acquired recently through problematizing its own traditional pillars. Krstić has in mind the current taste for a “market of the apocalyptic:” a postmodern critique of modern finality and anti-postmodern critique of modern philosophy, and how they impact the very same “discourse of the end,” as well as the Occident’s self-reflection in this death-driven tendency and shading of thought that has arisen of late. Not seeking to resolve the debate, the book suggests a shift to a life of philosophy that would be marked with peaceful thinking, especially in the face of an inflation of announcements of its end in one way or another; for any such “end,” whose shadow seems to offer psychological comfort, ultimately becomes tedious and unproductive in the long run.
