Synopsis
"We're doomed." 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" 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?", "We're doomed."

- a***l (165)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThere was no picture of the item for the product listing. It stated that it was You Raise Me Up by Rolf Lovland Paperback Book. I messaged the seller to confirm it was indeed a paperback Book. They messaged me back that it was a book that was listed & no picture was available. What I received was SATB/Piano Sheet Music. Sheet music is not a paperback book. I messaged the seller they asked me for the ISBN #. It was for the sheet music. The listing was misleading. I cannot recommend this seller.
