Things and Nothing: Reification Logic and Nihilism

The modern problem of "nihilism" was born in Germany and continues to this day. This book focuses on the relationship between nihilism and historical materialism, and offers its own reflections on the basic issues and main figures of nihilism discourse from Germany, Russia to China. Marx's two reflections on the issue of nothingness (the first time he criticized the "emptiness" of Stirner's "nothing", and the second time he pointed out that capital will inevitably destroy all sublime and sacred things), as well as the relationship between reification (Verdinglichung), materialization (Versachlichung) and nothingness, form the core of this book.
