What is Starry Speculative Corpse : Horror of Philosophy about?

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 book _In The Dust of This Planet_, Eugene Thacker explores these and other issues in _Starry 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 Corpse_ is the second volume of the "Horror of Philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume, [_In The Dust of This Planet_](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17433870W/In_The_Dust_Of_This_Planet), and the third volume, [_Tentacles Longer Than Night_](https://openlibrary.org/books/OL29266655M/
