Beskrivelse
Coming From Nothing is a tragi-comic love story concerned with notions of identity, such as Judith Butlers idea that sexual identity isnt determined by the body, and John Lockes that personal identity is a question of memory. The first novella in Zero Books new series of Thought Experiment Novellas, these are books that work out philosophical arguments in their plots. Whether focusing on William James determinism, Descartes mind/body dualism, or Judith Butlers argument for gender performativity, these short books attempt to flesh out philosophical problems. They are stories wherein philosophical ideas have consequences, at least in the lives of the characters.
