Harvard study authors never read Emil Cioran.
- Viability1936 2mo agoWhy do you say that - are you referencing something specific or just a point about his framing of existence? I just finished "a short history of decay"
- netfortius 2mo agoCioran claimed to have been able to avoid killing himself by fully embracing the idea of suicide.
- gowld 2mo agoCioran was a pessimist and a nihilist (and a blowhard) and interested in the idea of suicide, but never suicidal in the first place.
- netfortius 2mo agoHe denied being a nihilist, himself, multiple times, as well as those having studied his work. He was an extreme sceptic.
