Beschreibung
This monograph takes a closer look at the work of Cioran in order to establish a new and revised definition of antihumanism. It has three objectives. Firstly, it establishes a new concept of antihumanism separate from that proposed by Michel Foucault. Secondly, it analyzes the mirroring of Cioran’s philosophical theory against 20th century authors such as Osamu Dazai, Thomas Bernhard, and Michel Houellebecq. Finally, Cioran’s ideas are compared to modern and contemporary Romanian poets such as Bacovia, Baconsky, Caraion, and Vlad. This text appeals to students and researchers working in and across philosophy, literature, poetry, psychology and pop culture.
