Capitalism, Nihilism, and Hyperreality

This chapter explores the complex relationships between capitalism, nihilism, and simulation as examined through the lens of influential French theorists. The discussion critiques contemporary culture's engagement with these themes, particularly in higher education, while addressing concepts such as hyperreality and the influence of historical philosophical frameworks. By unpacking the interplay of entertainment and reality, the chapter advocates for a deeper understanding of these ideas within modern technological contexts.
