Thoughts from the Dark Corner is a collection of philosophical literary essays that operate (for the most part) within the existential tradition. The essays range over a variety of topics (art, the self, knowledge, death, etc.) while attempting to bring out their relevance to the human condition.The book emphasizes the aesthetic over the conceptual. Those who enjoy the more literary side of philosophy (Montaigne, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, etc.) will feel at home with this work.
