“We are now creators, no longer critics and skeptics. Our commitment is to constructive creation, not to destructive criticism. We must forever be on guard never to fall back into our old skeptical habits, which would only damage and destroy the very world we are trying to create through our imaginations.”
In Skeptical Nihilism And the Feast of Creation, Emericus Durden caps off his trilogy on the philosophical method of skeptical nihilism. The other two works of the trilogy – Aiming Higher Than Mere Civilization and Beyond Words & Machines – are also available from Radical Academic Press.
For the past decade, Emericus Durden has been busy creating original, disruptive works of art - both literary art and visual art (still photography). Only recently has he begun presenting his works to the public.
In everything he creates, Mr. Durden strives to create works that are intellectually challenging, perhaps even disturbing, though always exciting, suspenseful, and entertaining. In his writings, Mr. Durden has focused on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the sublime - philosophy and spirituality (e.g., "Aiming Higher Than Civilization" and "Beyond Words & Machines") to the much more hellish - murder and brainwashing (e.g., "Two Heads Equal Two Hands" and "Great & Mighty Things").
