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 bookIn The Dust of This Planet, Eugene Thacker explores these and other issues inStarry 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.Starry Speculative Corpseis the second volume of the "Horror of Philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume,In The Dust of This Planet, and the third volume,Tentacles Longer Than Night.
