Hititler: Bir Anadolu İmparatorluğu

The Courage to Despair Book Description

Optimistic future expectations are worthless in an increasingly deteriorating world. We cannot create a new alternative without accepting the gravity of the situation of the world system as it is.

“'Thought is the courage to be hopeless,' Giorgio Agamben said in an interview – an insight that is particularly relevant in our historical moment, when even the most pessimistic diagnosis ends its speech with an uplifting hint of light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. The real courage is not to imagine an alternative, but to accept the fact that there is no obvious option: the imagination of an alternative is a sign of theoretical cowardice and acts as a fetish that prevents us from considering the impasse of our predicament. In short, real courage is accepting that the light at the end of the tunnel is probably the headlights of another train approaching us from the opposite direction.”
