    The problem of nihilism in modern political philosophy: A Nietzschean discussion
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010) Küçükalp, Derda; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi/Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü.
    This study defends the thesis that nihilism is a central problem of contemporary political philosophy and that in order to overcome this problem, Nietzschean thought can provide significant leverage. We address our study in a Nietzschean manner because Nietzsche considers the problem of modernism as a problem of nihilism, and accordingly, he regards “the modern era” as an era in which nihilism appears. On the other hand, Nietzsche’s philosophical thoughts, which suggest a chance to overcome nihilism, are significant for understanding problems of contemporary political philosophy.
