TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Lovecraft and the Epistemology of Cosmic Horror


Thursday 20 August 2026 is the 136th anniversary of the birth of Howard Phillips Lovecraft (20 August 1890 – 15 March 1937), better known to us as H. P. Lovecraft, who was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on this date in 1890.


Lovecraft’s cosmic horror, or cosmicism, emerges from the indifference to humanity of the universe understood in a strictly naturalistic terms. The anthropocentrism of the human perspective misleads us, and when we glimpse the actual universe we risk madness. This is an overturning of philosophical traditions going back to Protagoras and Plato. Protagoras was called a sophist by Plato, and this was intended as an insult, but both Protagoras, in the form of his anthropocentrism, and Plato, in the form of his claim that knowledge is the good, are implicitly rejected by Lovecraft.
