Like many, I suspect, I found the difficulty of analytic philosophy unglamorous and therefore less appealing. This is regrettably superficial but superficiality is characteristic of youth. In my late teens I became enamored of Nietzsche, Bataille, and Artaud.

I am a nihilist because I still believe in truth.

Ray Brassier Philosopher

Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity.

Ray Brassier Philosopher

I think Enlightenment as an epistemic ideal involves rejecting the appeal to a fundamental stratum of non-conceptual self-evidence.

Ray Brassier Philosopher

Ray Brassier Philosopher

The incomparable stupidity of life teaches us to love our parents; divine philosophy teaches us to forgive them.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.
