Nietzsche and Klossowski: Consciousness, Parody, and the Origins of Thought

SEREPTIE

What if laughter, rage, or grief weren’t just emotional outbursts—but modes of knowing, ways in which being announces itself to us before thought arrives? In this short video, we descend into the tangled philosophies of Pierre Klossowski and Friedrich Nietzsche to ask: What if consciousness is not our origin, but our aftermath? Through Klossowski’s essay "Nietzsche, Polytheism, and Parody", we explore the idea that truth may be less a matter of reason than a residue of struggle—where knowledge emerges from conflicting impulses, not logical clarity. Affect, parody, myth, and multiplicity become vital lenses through which to glimpse a reality that rationality alone cannot contain.
