Lovecraftian Cosmicism | Existentialism, Absurdism and Nihilism

H.P. Lovecraft was an American writer who is known for his creation of what became the Cthulhu Mythos and the creator of the literary philosophy known as Cosmicism, emphasising the Cosmic Horror of the unknown and the insignificance of human beings in the vast realms of space and time.  This episode explores the peculiar philosophy of Cosmicism and its similarities with absurdism, existentialism, and nihilism, three movements that arose from the human experience of anguish and confusion stemming from the Absurd, ultimately diverging to different perspectives on life.  Channel of Nihilist Enigma👑 Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠⁠—Support the work☕⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠👕 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠—For deeper study📜 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠📚 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠⁠💡 ⁠⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay connected📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠✍️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠—Elsewhere🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠📷 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠📘 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps0:00 Introduction Lovecraft & Cosmicism1:08 Nihilist Engima: Existentialism, Absurdism, Nihilism2:09 Absurdism3:26 Existentialism4:34 Nihilism6:00 Cosmicism12:29 Cosmicism Vs God
