Humanism
The Cant of Pessimism and Newton Arvin’s Queer Humanism
We are in the habit of assuming that the most serious and profound apprehension of reality is the Sense of Tragedy; but it may be that, in assuming this, we ourselves are mistaken. It may be that there are points of view from which the Tragic sense must be seen as serious and profound indeed, but limited and imperfectly philosophical. It may even be that there can exist a kind of complacency of pessimism as there is certainly a complacency of optimism; and that many of us in this age are guilty of it.1
