What are the charts for pessimistic literature? It would be interesting if we had them for both fiction and nonfiction.
>>25039640Persuasion & rhetoric
The Philosophy of Redemption
>>25039644>>25039642OP said charts, not recs.
lit wiki had a sad literature chart.as far as pessimism goes Schopenhauer took it to its reasonable limit where any step further falls into metal illness category so I don't think it's necessary.
Conspiracy against the human race by Ligotti has a pretty good lit review.Zapffe, cioran, schopenhaurer, mainlander, benatar, burger, "Every cradle is a grave" is a pessimistic book in the style of online "rationalist" blogging a la scott alexander.These are the names that come to mind if you wanted to build a little bibliography of pessimism :(
