Very Little...Almost Nothing: Death, Philosophy, Literature (Warwick Studies in European Philosophy) Book

If one is to look to where philosophy begins, one must understand the significance of death or finitude for philosophy as well.

Philosophical modernity may be thinking through of the death of God, but as Simon Critchley argues, this offers little comfort in the face of an uncertain world.
