Trade paperback. Condition: Good. iv, [8], 120, [4] pages. Illustrations. Glossary. Bookmark associated with the book laid in--scarce surviving example. Some cover wear. Nein. A Manifesto is the brainchild of Eric Jarosinski, the self-described failed intellectual behind the hugely popular @NeinQuarterly, a Compendium of Utopian Negation that uses the aphoristic potential of Twitter to plumb the existential abyss of modern life and finds it bottomless. Stridently hopeless and charmingly dour, Nein. A Manifesto is an irreverent philosophical investigation into our most urgent questions. And the least. Inspired by the aphorisms of Nietzsche, Karl Kraus, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor W. Adorno, Jarosinski's short-form style reinvents philosophy for a world doomed to distraction. Nein. A Manifesto will be packaged as an attractive small-format book, with a handful of Jarosinski's aphorisms laid out on each page. Critical thinkers, lovers of language, bibliophiles, manics and depressives alike will be drawn to this compelling, witty, and often hilarious translation of digital into print. Theory into praxis. And tragedy into farce. Eric Jarosinski (born 1971) is an American Germanist, author, and humorist. Jarosinski writes under the nom de plume NeinQuarterly on Twitter, where he writes linguistic, political, and philosophical aphorisms. He began tweeting in 2012 and soon had a significant following (with 150,000 followers as of 2017). He then made the jump to print with a weekly column in the leading German weekly Die Zeit (2014-present). Jarosinski's first book Nein. A Manifesto has been published in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Danish. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Twitter sensation @NeinQuarterly jumps into print with this witty and droll manifesto made up of short, pithy sayings. American Germanist Jarosinski models his thinking on that of philosopher Theodor W. Adorno but takes it one step farther: almost everything that can be negated is negated. "Nein is not no. Nein is not yes. Nein is nein," he explains. The slim manifesto is divided into digestible, tweet-length aphorisms (each on its own page) with a hashtag for a title. "#TechRevolution/ Turn on./ Log in./ Unsubscribe./ Log out." Jarosinski also includes a hilarious glossary of Nein-ish words and phrases. Performance art, for instance, is defined as "six doppelgangers in search of a selfie." Technology particularly draws his ire. He calls Instagram a "marketplace in which pictures of your cat are exchanged for a thousand unspoken words of derision." There are gems on nearly every page. The book might seem tongue-in-cheek, but Jarosinski's cynical aphorisms about philosophy, art, language, and literature hold plenty of truth. It is the perfect antidote to the relentless positivity of the stereotypical self-help manual. Theodor W. Adorno was one of the most important philosophers and social critics in Germany after World War II. Adorno had great influence on scholars and intellectuals in postwar Germany. In the 1960s he was the most prominent challenger to both Sir Karl Popper's philosophy of science and Martin Heidegger's philosophy of existence. Jürgen Habermas, Germany's foremost social philosopher after 1970, was Adorno's student and assistant. The scope of Adorno's influence stems from the interdisciplinary character of his research and of the Frankfurt School to which he belonged. It also stems from the thoroughness with which he examined Western philosophical traditions, especially from Kant onward, and the radicalness to his critique of contemporary Western society. Presumed first edition, first printing and states NOT FOR RESALE. Luc(as) de Groot (Illustration of Theodor W. Adorn (illustrator).…
