Philosophy has always sought to wrench truth away from myths. But myth is not the narrative of origins, the path philosophy took from Plato to Schelling; myth is the opposite, the truth that narrates the end of humanity and its disproportion with respect to the cosmos. This is why Lovecraft is the most brilliant mythographer of the twentieth century. Rereading his oeuvre, philosophy will learn that true myth is the opposite of history, since it is summoned to enumerate the natural powers of the cosmos. At the same time, philosophy will learn that myth cannot glorify portentuous divinities since it reveals a transfinite universe become multiverse. In this key work of contemporary philosophy, the author shows that thought is not born of wonder but of horror: humanity's assumption of its non-place in the world. - Emanuele Coccia
