About the book: 2017 / Using themes and images of empty space, darkness and cold, extreme conditions for life, fossils and archeology, as well as relying on the ideas of such philosophers , like E. Husserl, E. Levinas, M. Merleau-Ponty, whose constructions are analyzed by considering body horror of the 50-80s (from W. Guest and R. Baker to J. Carpenter and D. Cronenberg), modern British philosopher Dylan Trigg is developing his project of non-human phenomenology, designed to demonstrate the ability of phenomenology to think other and alien beyond the supposedly inextricable connection of being and thinking. Thus, it becomes possible to speak not only “on behalf of non-human spheres,” but also to let “the non-human in the human speak for itself.” The non-human - a strange and frightening interweaving of the human and the non-human - is consistently carried through several stages of comprehension as the source of our body: the alienness of the source and its cosmic origin, accompanied by a feeling of universal horror; the darkness of the source and its “absent-mindedness” relative to the subject as hiddenness in a night inhabited by ghosts of the past and permeated with horror with its inherent anonymous materiality; bodily flesh as a source demonstrating that the thing closest to us, our own body, turns out to be at the same time the most distant thing from us; and, finally, the flesh itself, “spreading” beyond the boundaries of the body, is understood as an ontological principle that heralds the coming of anonymous materiality on a cosmic scale - at once connecting and dividing the things of this world. Horror, therefore, “is found not in the coming extinction, but in the source that precedes us».
