Re: Absences and Inhumanity: Six Works of Abstract Horror
Having deliberately avoided a great deal of contemporary philosophy for the last two years, I'm a bit surprised to hear about this Land controversy. I saw him as an interesting figure inspired by the works of Bataille, but nothing more than that to be honest. Of course, as an academic, he probably feels compelled to distinguish himself in order to stay relevant. It's certainly disingenuous, but it's how the game is played.
He would've been better off working an office job. At least that way he could've lived a more authentic lifestyle. | |||||||||||

"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."
~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil" |
