The Experience of the Tragic

The Experience of the Tragic — the first part of the dilogy The Tragic. It is an investigation into the nature of human fears and limitations. The book offers a perspective grounded in nihilism and pessimism on the tragic in human existence, examining it through the lens of philosophy and science. The author continues the lineage of Norwegian philosopher and mountaineer Peter Wessel Zapffe, developing and reconceptualizing his ideas through process philosophy.
