Meer over het boek

Philosophical pessimism serves as a critical lens for examining contemporary cultural studies by challenging ideas of temporality, progress, and futurity. In a world facing apocalyptic fears, this exploration encourages embracing rather than ignoring negative aspects of existence. The book posits that a cultural logic emphasizing the worst is prevalent in modern philosophical discourse and cultural expressions, offering insights into navigating complexity and uncertainty in today's society.
