Zer0 Books presents a new, omnibus edition of a cult classic: all three volumes of Eugene Thacker s Horror of Philosophy trilogy, revised and expanded by the author. Across the three volumes of the series Thacker adopts a unique approach, reading works of horror as if they were philosophy, and works of philosophy as if they were horror, leading to far-reaching questions: 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? At the center of Thacker s project is the idea of the 'world without us,' an increasingly unthinkable world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live - not a philosophy of horror, but a horror of philosophy.
Eugene Thacker is the author of several books, including the Horror of Philosophy Trilogy (In the Dust of this Planet; Starry Speculative Corpse; Tentacles Longer Than Night). He teaches at The New School in New York City. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
