Description
Summary:The present work aims to establish a dialogue between Cioran and some of the classical schools of thought having as central theme the term “discipline of horror”, used by the author in the beginning of his first book written in french, A Short History Of Decay, published in 1949. Starting from this literary expression, we will seek to amplify the approximations and distinctions between Cioran and philosophical authors of similar verve beyond the comparisons wiih Schopenhauer's pessimism and Nietzschean nihilism. From the proposed content to the form of the speech and the language used, the possible dialogues to be established having as foundation this discipline of horror, which is nothing more than a meditation of the rot and the vanity of human nature, are able to bring to the scene the tragic aspect of Cioran’s thought, which necessarily passes through classical cynicism and skepticism, explored here in view of the enlargement of the study on Cioran, noting to what extent Diogenes and Pyrrho influenced him and to what extent his peculiarities kept him distant from the tranquility aimed by these philosophies from the Hellenistic period
