Al culmine della disperazione

The essays feel deeply personal and raw — I wonder how much of Cioran’s own despair shaped his reflections and writing style.

The recurring themes and tone made me think about whether this was a stylistic choice or a reflection of his mental state. What do others think?

This format makes it easy to dip in and out, but I’m curious whether it was planned to mirror the fragmented nature of philosophical thought or something else.
