| Description: | Select Guide Rating Pessimism is thought of as an exclusively negative stance that inevitably leads to resignation. Even when pessimism looks like utter truth, we are told that it makes the worst of a bad situation. This book challenges the received wisdom about pessimism, arguing that there is an unrecognized yet vibrant pessimistic philosophical tradition. |
