Schopenhauer’s nihil negativum

“Haino’s performance is an example of the radically unhuman aspect of Cosmic Pessimism, the impersonal affect of dread described by Kierkegaard as “antipathic sympathy and sympathetic antipathy.” So, Black is Myself also manages to be mystical at the same time that the individual performer is dissolved into a meshwork of tones – voice, space, and instrument variously existing in consonance and dissonance with each other. So, Black is Myself is a reminder of the metaphysical negation that is also at the core of black metal, as if Schopenhauer’s nihil negativum were rendered as musical form, ultimately negating even itself in a kind of musical antiform.” 

~Eugene Thacker. “In the Dust of This Planet.”

 

inefabil

Schopenhauer zice ca noi devenim cretini cand ne indragostim
ca defapt e chimia din capul nostru care alege omul
si-l alege pentru a putea continua viata speciei
si nu-i nimic romantic si special si mistic in asta
si ca ar fi mai bine sa stie toti adevarul despre dragoste
si sa se linisteasca oamenii o data si pentru totdeauna
si sa nu mai fie dezamagiri si chinuri sentimentale

cu tot respectul, Schopenhauer ganeste!
