Publisher Description
Confessions is a philosophical work, but not in the academic or instructional sense. It offers no system, no thesis, and no guidance. Instead, it operates in the tradition of aphoristic and existential philosophy—where thought is provoked rather than explained, and meaning emerges through tension, contradiction, and rupture.
Written as an intentionally unstructured stream of consciousness, the book is composed of aphorisms, fragments, and provocations that interrogate consciousness, power, morality, trauma, intelligence, sexuality, violence, and the psychological architecture of modern life. The text refuses linear argument and narrative cohesion, using fragmentation as a method rather than a flaw. Comfort, clarity, and reader appeasement are deliberately withheld.
Rather than presenting conclusions, Confessions places the reader inside unresolved questions. It challenges conventional ethical posturing, exposes intellectual and moral hypocrisies, and destabilizes familiar frameworks through dark humour, irony, and philosophical aggression. Meaning is not delivered; it is forced into existence through confrontation.
This is not a book designed to teach philosophy, nor to summarise existing schools of thought. It belongs to a philosophical lineage that values provocation over explanation and thinking over instruction. The work assumes an active reader—one willing to tolerate ambiguity, incompleteness, and cognitive friction.
Confessions is written for readers who do not seek reassurance or guidance, but who are prepared to engage with philosophy as an experience: abrasive, unsettling, and unresolved.
