The Lucid Animal
On the Impossibility of Seeing Clearly and the Necessity of Trying
Perhaps the most honest thing a philosopher can say is that he does not know whether his honesty is honest.
About the work
An inquiry into consciousness, honesty, formation, uncertainty, and the cost of attempting to live without a final consoling fiction.
The Lucid Animal considers what clear seeing can and cannot achieve. It follows consciousness through formation, freedom, religion, the state, suffering, love, fame, death, and the necessity of trying even when certainty remains unavailable.
