IN THE DUST OF THIS PLANET
Book ID/图书代码： 07069514B70355
English Summary/英文概要： The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. In this book Eugene Thacker suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live - a central motif of the horror genre. In the Dust of This Planet explores these relationships between philosophy and horror. In Thacker’s hands, philosophy is not academic logic-chopping; instead, it is the thought of the limit of all thought, especially as it dovetails into occultism, demonology, and mysticism. Likewise, Thacker takes horror to mean something beyond the focus on gore and scare tactics, but as the under-appreciated genre of supernatural horror in fiction, film, comics, and music. This relationship between philosophy and horror does not mean the philosophy of horror, if anything, it means the reverse, the horror of philosophy: those moments when philosophical thinking enigmatically confronts the horizon of its own existence. For Thacker, the genre of supernatural horror is the key site in which this paradoxical thought of the unthinkable takes place.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这个世界变得越来越难以想象，行星灾害，流行病爆发，以及迫在眉睫的灭绝威胁。在这本书中尤金·萨克尔建议，我们将恐怖视为提供了一种对这个难以想象的世界的思考方式。面对这种想法就是面对我们理解自己生活的世界的局限性——恐怖类型片的中心主题。《在这个星球的尘埃里》探讨了哲学与恐怖之间的关系。在萨克尔的手中，哲学不是学术逻辑，相反它是所有思想的极限思想，特别是它和神秘，恶魔以及神秘主义吻合时。同样，萨克尔认为恐怖意味着某些东西超越了专注于血腥和恐吓手段，但是是作为被忽视的超自然恐怖小说，电影，漫画和音乐流派。哲学与恐怖之间的关系并不意味着恐怖的哲学，如果有的话是意味着相反的，即哲学的恐怖：当哲学思想神秘地面对自身存在的地平线的时刻。萨克尔认为，超自然恐怖流派是不可思议的自相矛盾的思想发生的关键点。(LNL)
