Description
Infinite Resignation by Eugene Thacker is a collection of aphorisms, fragments, and observations that explore the contours of pessimism. Drawing on the work of philosophers such as Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Camus, and others, Thacker reflects on the universe's "looming abyss of indifference" and its implications for human existence. Thacker's own thoughts on pessimism are woven throughout this book, which also engages with literary figures whose pessimistic views about the world both inspire and depress him. A melancholic, misanthropic, and darkly funny exploration, Infinite Resignation offers a raw look at the human condition in dark times. This book provides a unique perspective on pessimism, caught as it often is between philosophical position and bad attitude. With its mix of philosophical and personal reflections, readers will find food for thought in Thacker's handling of themes in Christianity and Buddhism.
