Continental Thinkers Have Been Obsessed With Bourgeois Man As Representing The Worst And Most Contemptible Failure Of Modernity, Which Must At All Costs Be Overcome. Nihilism In Its Most Palpable Sense Means That The Bourgeois Has Won, That The Future, All Foreseeable Futures, Belong To Him, That All Heights Above Him And All Depths Beneath Him Are Illusory And That Life Is Not Worth Living On These Terms.
