Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This anthology features essays from contemporary philosophers, artists, and writers at the intersection of speculative philosophy and horror. It serves as a multivocal exploration of how these two realms converge, employing rigorous analysis and innovative thought. The collection investigates the interplay between speculation and horror, questioning whether philosophy can be fictional and if fiction can be philosophical. It examines the relationship between horror, our current realities, and the future of philosophical inquiry. Contributors range from philosophers exploring horrific themes to horror writers influenced by post-Kantian heresies and artists addressing monstrosity and alienation. The anthology aims for a speculative coup d'état, avoiding total negation and absolute affirmation. It seeks to expose and construct rather than critique or unify, advocating for a position of partiality and under-determinacy inherent in the act of thinking and speculation. Themes such as anonymity, otherness, the gothic, extinction, the apocalypse, and the uncanny are explored, articulating the cutting edge found at the intersection of speculative philosophy and horror.
