Inspired by the philosophical aphorisms of Nietzsche, Karl Kraus, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor W. Adorno, Jarosinski's epigrammatic style reinvents short-form philosophy for a world doomed to distraction. As tenets of a rather unorthodox manifesto, Jarosinski's four-line compositions seek to illuminate our...

  • Narrative Ontology
    This book is a critical inquiry into three ideas that have been at the heart of philosophical reflection since time immemorial: freedom, God, and immortality. Their inherent connection has disappeared from our thought. We barely pay attention to the latter two ideas, and the notion of freedom is used so loosely today that it has become vacuous.

    Mythocracy examines the narrative mechanisms that script our lives through the stories we tell one another.
