    About this ebook

    'Towards the Supernoumenon' is a substantial compilation of spiralling 'supernotes', or loosely aphoristic material, that takes an artificially antithetical position to Schopenhauer, the great early-nineteenth century German philosopher, by positing, in supra-Nietzschean vein, a progression, on the plane of artificial modernity, from phenomenon to noumenon, as though in contrast to anything traditionally naturalistic and effectively alpha-stemming. The cover art might well, with its 'chopper' on high, serve to illustrate an omega-oriented position contrary to the above and therefore approximate to the so-called 'supernoumenon' of the title.

      We Need To Reframe The Way We Thinkabout “Free Speech”

      NO IDEA IS MORE LOATHED TODAY, especially on the Right (how times change), than censorship. Nothing is worse, we are told, than being “censorious”, and seeking to end “vigorous debate” in the “marketplace of ideas”. But what exactly ensures that a de
