Summary

The Sunset of the Logos delves into the decline of rationality and language as the foundations of human existence and civilization. Spanning from the classical philosophy of Plato to the contemporary analyses of Byung-Chul Han, the book examines how the Logos, the principle of order and truth, has been systematically undermined in the era of techno-financial neo-totalitarianism.The loss of the Logos is not merely an intellectual phenomenon but an ontological crisis that permeates politics, society, and ecology, fostering conflict, fragmentation, and the manipulation of truth. With clarity and rigor, the author leads readers through a critical analysis of the forces that have driven the collapse of language and the emergence of global chaos, offering a profound reflection on humanity's fate in a world that seems to have abandoned dialogue and reason.This incisive and provocative work challenges readers to confront the roots of the contemporary crisis and to consider the – perhaps remote – possibilities of awakening from the decline.

    Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. 
 
 
 
As a Choctaw citizen, with deep ties to Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Mihesuah grew up hearing the stories of her ancestors. In the tradition of Native storytelling, she spins tales that move back and forth fluidly across time. The ancient beings, we discover, followed the tribe from their original homelands in Mississippi and are now ever-present influences on tribal consciousness. 
 
 
 
While some of the horrors told here are "real life" in nature, the art of fiction that Mihesuah employs reveals surprising outcomes or alternative histories. It turns out the things that scare us the most can lead to the answers we are seeking and even ensure our very survival.
