My last book review of 2025 is (fittingly) about the end of the world. Ben Ware's very stimulating philosophical discussion On Extinction. https://t.co/1lBOgW3fIO

This is actually a part summary of Bacon’s own account of his works. I in fact disagree with this reading in the paper.

[Institute of Art and Ideas @IAI_TV]

“The paintings seek to ‘unlock sensation’, to provoke a convulsive, existential shudder in those who encounter them,” writes @benjamin_ware on Francis Bacon’s art. | https://t.co/9WY7Bb63He

Tap to read more about Ware’s argument that decay and extinction bleeds into a philosophical view of Bacon’s art that heightens his genius.

Radical politics today should not be concerned with merely averting the worst but rather with beginning again at the end.

Books to read alongside Ben Ware's essential new intervention, On Extinction: Beginning Again At The End.

[Maria Balaska @BalaskaMaria]

Last Sunday! In conversation with @benjamin_ware about his new book on #Extinction at @ThePapersLive. A fascinating topic, a book everyone should read, a wonderful venue and audience! @VersoBooks

[Literary Hub @lithub]

“While anti-natalism is thus relentlessly pessimistic about ‘life,’ it is eerily silent about the profit system responsible for specific kinds of life-making.” @benjamin_ware on the problems with anti-natalism and the emptiness of opting out.
