![]() ![]() There is not really any such thing as free will.Our sense of self, or our sense of "being someone," is illusory.People naturally resist the idea that life is not okay.Consciousness is the parent of all horror.Those who cannot bear the truth will pretend this is another work of fiction, but in doing so they perpetuate the conspiracy of the book's title. Ligotti's calm, but often bloodcurdling turns of phrase, evoke the dreadfulness of the human condition. The worst and most plentiful horrors are instead to be found in reality. Through impressively wide-ranging discussions of and reflections on literary and philosophical works of a pessimistic bent, he shows that the greatest horrors are not the products of our imagination. The Conspiracy against the Human Race is renowned horror writer Thomas Ligotti's first work of nonfiction. This is part of a series of abstracts, commentaries, and reviews on philosophical articles and books. ![]()
