[close] Emil Cioran takes his philosophic chisel to the mid-20th century man and his position within society. Abandoning the abstract analytical approach in favour of a more experential individual method, Cioran blends philosophic pessimism with Nietzschean nihilism to shed light on a multitude of contemporary issues and the themes of our time. As acerbic as it is entertaining, this book is a little-known gem that proves remarkably prescient in light of now-popular D&ST debates.
