Reflecting on the universe's \"looming abyss of indifference,\" Thacker explores the pessimism of a range of philosophers, from the well-known (Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Camus), to the lesser-known (E.M. Cioran, Lev Shestov, Miguel de Unamuno). Readers will find food for thought in Thacker's handling of a range of themes in Christianity and Buddhism, as well as his engagement with literary figures (from Dostoevsky to Thomas Bernhard, Osamu Dazai, and Fernando Pessoa), whose pessimism about the world both inspires and depresses Thacker. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy turns melancholic, misanthropic, and darkly funny, \u003ci\u003eInfinite Resignation \u003c\/i\u003eis a welcome antidote to the exuberant imbecility of our times.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEugene Thacker is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eIn the Dust of This Planet\u003c\/i\u003e.
