Notes from the Crawl Room : A Collection of Philosophical Horrors Hardback

Hardback

Description

Notes from the Crawl Room employs the lens and methods of horror writing to critique the excesses and absurdities of philosophy.

Each story reveals disastrous and de-humanising effects of philosophies that are separated from real, lived experience (e.g. the absurdity of arguing over a sentence in Kant while the world burns around us).

From a Kafkaesque exploration of administrative absurdities to the horrors of discursive violence, white supremacy and the living spectres of patriarchy, A.M.

Moskovitz doesn't shy away from addressing the complex aspects of our lives.

In addition to offering often humourous critiques of philosophy, these works are also, somewhat ironically, pieces of philosophy themselves.

Each story seeks to move a subject area forward offering the reader the capacity to think through ideas in a weirder and more open way than traditional philosophy usually allows.

An antidote to philosophy that seeks to close down and shut off the imaginative potential of human thought, Notes from the Crawl Room revels in the unsettling and creative potential of stories for revealing what thinking philosophically might really mean.
