Notes from the Crawl Room employs the lens and methods of horror
writing to critique the excesses and absurdities of philosophy.
Each story reveals disastrous and de-humanising effects of
philosophies that are separated from real, lived experience (e.g.
the absurdity of arguing over a sentence in Kant while the world
burns around us). From a Kafkaesque exploration of administrative
absurdities to the horrors of discursive violence, white supremacy
and the living spectres of patriarchy, A.M. Moskovitz doesn't shy
away from addressing the complex aspects of our lives. In addition
to offering often humourous critiques of philosophy, these works
are also, somewhat ironically, pieces of philosophy themselves.
Each story seeks to move a subject area forward offering the reader
the capacity to think through ideas in a weirder and more open way
than traditional philosophy usually allows. An antidote to
philosophy that seeks to close down and shut off the imaginative
potential of human thought, Notes from the Crawl Room revels in the
unsettling and creative potential of stories for revealing what
thinking philosophically might really mean.
