## Description

"Students of both philosophy and horror will find surprising inter-illuminations in these three books." Michael Cisco, author of The Divinity Student Could it be that the more we know about the world, the less we understand it? Could it be that, while everything has been explained, nothing has meaning? Extending the ideas presented in his book In The Dust of This Planet , philosopher Eugene Thacker explores these and other issues in Starry Speculative Corpse . But instead of using philosophy to define or to explain the horror genre, Thacker reads works of philosophy as if they were horror stories themselves, revealing a rift between human beings and the unhuman world of which they are part. Along the way we see philosophers grappling with demons, struggling with doubt, and wrestling with an indifferent cosmos. At the center of it all is the philosophical drama of the human being confronting its own limits. Not a philosophy of horror, but a horror of philosophy. Thought that stumbles over itself, as if at the edge of an abyss. Also in the series: In the Dust of This Planet (Horror of Philosophy, vol. 1) Tentacles Longer Than Night (Horror of Philosophy, vol. 3)

Review: The Darker Side of Philosophy - A study in nihilism and pessimism that is supremely interesting. If you like deep introspective study and want to know more about the darker side of philosophy as it relates to literature, the books in this series are perfect for you.
Review: "Dust of this Planet" was great, this is better! - Thacker continues to elaborate on his mystic nihilism. This second book of the trilogy leans less on the horror genre metaphor. I find it more focused and clear than the first book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Darker Side of Philosophy
*by B***N on November 27, 2018*

A study in nihilism and pessimism that is supremely interesting. If you like deep introspective study and want to know more about the darker side of philosophy as it relates to literature, the books in this series are perfect for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Dust of this Planet" was great, this is better!
*by V***R on December 1, 2015*

Thacker continues to elaborate on his mystic nihilism. This second book of the trilogy leans less on the horror genre metaphor. I find it more focused and clear than the first book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slower reading than the first, but understandable
*by A***R on July 5, 2017*

A really interesting look at philosophers such as Nietzsche, Kant, and Schopenhauer. This book focuses much more on philosophy itself than the first volume of the trilogy, "In the Dust of Planet". As a result it's a bit slower reading, but even if you don't have much background in philosophy at all it is still approachable.
