A collection of aphorisms, fragments, and observations on philosophy and pessimism.
Composed of aphorisms, fragments, and observations both philosophical and personal, Eugene Thacker's Infinite Resignation traces the contours of pessimism, caught as it is between a philosophical position and a bad attitude. By turns melancholic, misanthropic, and tinged with gallows humor, Thacker's writing tenuously hovers over that point at which the thought of futility becomes the futility of thought.

      • ilyakorenyuginhas quoted4 years ago
        His essay on what he called the “metaphysics of the sexes” reduces all sexual and erotic activity, inclusive of the entire culture of romantic love, to nothing more than tactical ploys for an impersonal and blind Will-to-Life, whose only aim is simply more life, at any cost, by whatever means, and for no reason.
