Saints of pessimism

Could the way to salvation in this world, which stands on the edge of destruction, be to reread these philosophers whom the author called "saints of pessimism," and to engage with their worldview, as well as with the perspectives and reflections of the modern pessimist philosopher Eugene Thacker? Thacker searches for the keys to the lives of these philosophers and the effects of life within them, highlighting those pivotal moments when they were forced to live their pessimism: Schopenhauer facing an empty lecture hall in Berlin, Nietzsche silent and imprisoned in his sister's deceitful house, Sarte battling Alzheimer's in his small cellar where he writes in Latin in Paris. An alternative, inspiring — and enjoyable — reading of the biographies of some of the most important pessimism philosophers such as Chamfort, Sarte, Kierkegaard, Leopardi, Lichtenberg, Mainländer, de Montaigne, Nietzsche, Pascal, Schopenhauer, and De Unamuno.
