In pessimism

"The pessimist is the person who looks in both directions when crossing a one-way street" – Eugene Thacker This book consists of snippets, fragments, and reflections, sometimes philosophical and sometimes personal, in which modern philosopher of pessimism Eugene Thacker traces the general features of pessimism, and raises deep philosophical questions about life, the world, and human destiny. In its oscillation between gloominess, hatred of humans, and black humor, Thacker's writings gracefully fluctuate between the idea of futility and the futility of thinking.
