"The night-side of thought." "A melodrama of the futility of the brain." "A poetry written in the graveyard of philosophy." So begins the work of the philosopher whose unabashed and aphoristic indictments of the human condition have been cropping up recently in popular culture.
Today we find ourselves in an increasingly inhospitable world that is, at the same time, starkly indifferent to our species-specific hopes, desires, and disappointments. In the Anthropocene, pessimism is felt everywhere but rarely given its proper place. Though pessimism may be, as Eugene Thacker says, the lowest form of philosophy, it may also contain an enigma central to understanding the horizon of the human.
Written in a series of fragments, aphorisms, and prose poems, Thacker's Cosmic Pessimism includes artwork by artist Keith Tilford, commissioned for this edition. In this short but thought-provoking treatise, Thacker explores the varieties of pessimism and its often-conflicted relation to philosophy. "Crying, laughing, sleeping--what other responses are adequate to a life that is so indifferent?"

也许叔本华想到的音乐是削减为非音乐的音乐。一句低语已经足够。也许是一声疲倦或听天由命的叹息,也许是一声绝望或哀伤的呻吟。也许这种声音清晰得恰好足以听见它的消散。 不应该以读理论的方式去读此作 当作一次大醺后喉咙发疼以至于只能以呜咽交流的 自我指涉的独白 一种介于诗和理论之间的 否定性cosmic noise
