To compensate for the consequences of entrapment inside the bubble human beings have invented a religion of language (and a language of religion) that tells the story (actually many stories) of what exists outside the bubble. This of course is paradoxical since that which is beyond the bubble is reality, which as soon as it is brought inside the bubble becomes literature. Prompted by this contradiction, some people declare their language about things outside the bubble to be sacred, thus making life inside the bubble toxic. These people are idolatrous and call those who are not idolaters: atheists, agnostics, non-conformists, dreamers, and sometimes artists, by which they mean useless.

As arts are going deeper into an impasse, artists multiply. This abnormality isn't one if one thinks that art, on the decline, has become impossible and easy at the same time.As well as insomnia, themes explored in his first work include all the joyous staples of the great pessimists: death, suffering, nothingness, nihilism, anguish, and the absurd, themes that recurred in Cioran’s later works, such as The Trouble With Being Born (1973), which was my first introduction to the philosopher’s thoughts and musings. Chopin's music is alternately slow and soothing, and fast and maddening. Much the same for Cioran, whose epigrams can range from one-liners that make me question entire ways of thinking, to pointless opinions on things he has read. Somewhere, I get lost in his writing and in Chopin’s music. I encounter familiar ideas of antinatalism, efilism, idealism, pessimism, and all the other isms on which I occasionally construct self-identity. But I also encounter the unfamiliar, the dream, and the partly-familiar three types of thought mentioned above. This human tendency of being unable to relate with the realities of life and then enwrapping it with shallow meanings in the guise of happiness and countenance is also a very depressing thought, which is hardly shrugged off. Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia. Amid controversy in Australia, Sandra Hall of Sydney Morning Herald called the film ''strangely moral'' Controversial for its content, the film delves into the manipulation of emotional intelligence, leaving viewers pondering the consequences of such actions in a thought-provoking and unsettling manner. [13] Awards and accolades [ edit ]

The whole of the French sans-cullotes and bourgeois revolutionaries apologizes, dear Mr. Cioran, that people were excited for literally the biggest event in human history, which was the beginning of the age of revolution in Europe, which swept away centuries of feudal bondage, that some theatricality was had! Not genuine enough for you as the idle, frivolous chatter of upper-class gentlemen is, eh?" The Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran (1911 – 1995) was a precocious thinker, reading the likes of Diderot, Dostoevsky, Flaubert, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche at the age of 14 (the latter having a major influence on his work). His precociousness was later exemplified by first major philosophical work, On the Heights of Despair, published in 1934, when Cioran was just 22 years old. This work also earned him the Prize of the Royal Academy for young writers, one of two literary awards he accepted (Cioran also accepted the prestigious Rivoral Prize, in 1950; but every other award he was given, he rejected).

Olumsuzdan olumlu çıkarabilme gücü veya olumsuzu olduğu gibi kabul etmenin erdemi üzerine kurduğu binlerce cümleyi sanırım uzun yıllar düşüneceğim.

Orice mizantrop, oricât de sincer ar fi, ne aminteşte uneori de acel bătrân poet ţintuit la pat şi uitat de toată lumea, care, pornit împotriva contemporanilor săi, decretase că nu mai vrea să primească pe nimeni. De milă, nevasta lui se ducea să sune din când în când la uşa." To get up, wash yourself, then wait for some kind of blues or angst. I would give the whole universe and Shakespeare for a bit of ataraxia. A writer has left his mark on us not because we have read him a great deal but because we have thought of him more than is warranted. I have not frequented Baudelaire or Pascal particularly, but I have not stopped thinking of their miseries, which have accompanied me everywhere as faithfully as my own.

Translated by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and critic Richard Howard, The Trouble With Being Born is a provocative, illuminating testament to a singular mind. Read more Look Inside Details On the Heights of Despair displays the young Cioran’s philosophically pessimistic outlook and brooding thoughts, all captured in his elegant, lyrical style of writing. In this work, we moreover find reflections on insomnia, a condition that Cioran long suffered from. He writes: The Melbourne International Film Festival decided to not screen the film at its 2020 festival, citing concerns raised by two forensic psychologists that it might "[normalise] sexual interest in children" and be "used as a source of arousal for men interested in child abuse material". [11] The decision to remove the film from the festival line-up was denounced by film critics Peter Krausz, Tom Ryan and David Stratton. [12] Literature is an evolved form of language. It is constituted by an ideal philosophy, and ideal religion, and an ideal politics. Or at least as ideal as can be reached by Homo sapiens. Those who recognise the existence of the bubble and its implications strive to keep story-telling free from such ossification. Feeling in need of support in a hostile world, they too have succumbed to the religious impulse but in a very different way. Their alternative religion is a kind of ethical politics which allows any story to be told and heard. They make no claims to knowing what is outside the bubble or approaching closer to it by working hard at story-telling within the bubble. Their life consists of the unrestricted exchange of words in unusual and unexpected combinations. They often allude to what they imagine might be outside the bubble but remain interested in the imaginations of others. From this they derive pleasure from which many other inhabitants of the bubble take offence.

Denied the right to return to Romania during the years of the communist regime, and attracting international attention only late in his career, Cioran died in Paris in 1995. Eu mereu am fost adeptul convingerii că opera lui Cioran se particularizează prin subiectivismul extrem. N-am găsit la el -deşi m-am identificat, nu de puţine ori, cu dansul- nici "atâtica" obiectivism. Viziunea lui se substituie relaţiei pe care A AVUT-O cu realitatea, iar aceasta are să determine relaţiile ulterioare care, de asemenea, cuprinse de subiectivism, nu au cum să se întoarcă radical, ci -în cel mai rău caz- să se afunde în propriul abis. Particularitatea asta este ceea ce-l individualizează. N-am citit -e drept!- prea multă filosofie existenţialistă, în schimb, în maniera în care am făcut-o, n-am mai întâlnit în cazul niciunui filosof viziunea subiectivismului pur. Totul pleacă -se înţelege- de la subiectivism. Platon a văzut Republica în contextul epocii sale, Voltaire în cadrul societăţii de factură absolutistă a Franţei s-a gandit: "Io-te! Iluminism!", dar ideile lor se bazau pe un impuls general din partea intelectualităţii societăţii din care făceau parte (şi în cadrul căreia, fără doar şi poate, erau figurile proeminente).
