Description
Relating to the most profound freedoms, qualities, and happiness that modern society and culture have stripped away from us, The Ecstasy of Nothing is a spiritually inclined non-fiction philosophy book that rationally investigates language and concepts from a perspective never before advocated in this fashion - one that has impaired and imprisoned us as modern beings. The author claims to have discovered and built upon a glaring truth in modern experience, one present now more than ever. What is this truth? We are enslaved by the conceptual! While language and subsequently concepts have been our greatest invention or discovery, now, in the modern Western world, we have become its subordinate, its slave. We have lost connection with what he calls the Real, a simple but beautiful experience outside of the illusions and unrealities of modern life. The Ecstasy of Nothing: A Philosophy of Language, Reality, And the Phenomenology of Modern Experience is a 60,000-word non-fiction philosophy-of-language book for those who are spiritually and philosophically inclined. Taking inspiration from Wittgenstein and Sartre, this book does three main things. Firstly, it offers new and relatable theories on ways language and concepts separate us from reality. Secondly, it offers a glance into the experience of the world without the chains of concepts and how we may go beyond new-age connotations of spirituality to properly and sensibly rejoice with beauty, art, and nature as modern beings. The third relates to action! What are we to do? From unique and nuanced criticisms of capitalism to how we approach each other and our lives, he advocates new ways to find our autonomous will in a conceptualised world characterised by our unfreedom, and from there, step by step, advocates a new form of anarchy.
