-
Cosmic Indifference, closely related to the concept of Cosmicism, is a literary
-
and philosophical idea most prominently associated with the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft.
-
This concept posits that the universe is vast, ancient,
-
and indifferent to the existence of humanity. It suggests that human achievements, struggles,
-
and emotions are ultimately meaningless when viewed against the backdrop of the cosmos.
-
Lovecraft's stories often feature cosmic entities that exist beyond human comprehension,
-
neither good nor evil, existing in a realm of indifference towards humanity.
-
This makes human endeavors seem trivial and
-
insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe.
-
Cosmicism has influenced not only literature but also modern pop culture and philosophy,
-
evolving beyond Lovecraft's original works.
-
It is recognized as an influential movement, impacting authors, filmmakers,
-
and game developers who continue to explore themes of cosmic indifference
