Mstyslav Kazakov holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and is a Certificate Student in The New Centre’s Transdisciplinary Studies Program. Born and spending his whole life in Ukraine, he now lives in Madeira, Portugal, part-time lecturing remotely at Kyiv Polytechnic University. His research interests encompass metaphysics of temporality and philosophy of time (both within the context of the ‘speculative turn’ and aside from it), and philosophies of futility and pessimism as a grounding for the project of ‘transcendental catastrophism’. The most ambitious of his current studies is Geology of the Night. This project is the elaboration of an ontological and epistemic framework and a transdisciplinary theory/fiction research of The Night Land, a pioneering speculative sci-fi/space horror masterpiece by British author W.H. Hodgson. Here, Kazakov provides for the text a metaphysics of Time through the speculative ‘hypervision’ of the Future as a transcendental catastrophe.
