About the book: 2018 / By “wrongly” interpreting philosophical works as works of horror literature, Eugene Tucker reveals to us places where philosophy faces its own limit. This limit takes on different incarnations - darkness, nothingness, denial - each of which turns into the horror of philosophy, promising philosophy nothing but the contradictions that corrode it, and therefore the futility of all efforts to comprehend the world in the face of groundlessness. Philosophy, guided by the law of sufficient reason, never risked going as far as its “cold rationalism” could allow. Her destiny was to remain within the boundaries outlined “for us.” On the other hand, unconstrained by rationalism and choosing the path via negativa, mysticism always went too far - so much so that it guaranteed a kind of divine “in itself”, which, on the other side of our ignorance, could still have its own laws and knowability. Thus he implicitly assumed the “law of sufficient divinity.” Therefore, in order to approach groundlessness as such, theological mysticism must become mysticism without God, ontology - meontology, and philosophy - non-philosophy. Darkness, outside of which there is nothing, certified by a thought that denies itself, will then turn out to be the “matter” of the world-without-us, where this thought, negated and turned outward, circles in outer space among the corpses of stars directed into nothingness. The Star-Speculative Corpse is the second volume in the Philosophy Horror trilogy by American philosopher and researcher of media, biotechnology and the occult, Eugene Tucker. In this trilogy, horror and philosophy are presented in a situation of parallax - a constant displacement of the gaze between two areas, neither of which can normally be seen when the other is seen. As a result, the works of literature of supernatural horror are considered as ontological and cosmological constructions, and the constructions of philosophers as narratives that tell us something about the nature of the horror that lies “beyond” the human.
