Description
Drawn and Quartered is a collection of aphorisms and short essays by E.M. Cioran, in which he sets out to strip away the layers of false realities that mask the truth. For Cioran, the pursuit of truth is a matter of stripping away the illusions that hold us back, and he sees this as a necessary step towards hope.
Through his examination of the relationship between truth and action, and between absolutes and frauds, Cioran argues that the only way forward is to reject the false promises of hope and instead embrace the reality of our situation. This is a deeply philosophical work that challenges the reader to think critically about the nature of truth and reality.
Published in 2012, Drawn and Quartered is a thought-provoking collection of essays that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, literature, and the human condition.
