Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Everything that matters will end.This is not a consolation.It is not offered as one.It is the actual condition under which every meaningful thing exists. The ending does not make the thing less meaningful. In many cases it is precisely the source of the meaning.The impermanence is not the problem to be solved.>Metaphors We Live By: Mortality, Loss, & Impermanence is a collection of forty essays examining what impermanence does to meaning, how loss works in the person who carries it, and what mortality reveals about the life organized around its denial.

Inside, you will explore: - Why the awareness of ending changes the quality of the thing that will end- How grief operates differently from the way it is described before it is experienced- What the denial of mortality costs the life organized around the denial- Why loss is not the opposite of meaning but often its most precise indicator- How the person who has lost something irreplaceable understands something the person who has not cannot access>This is not a guide to grief or acceptance.This is not a philosophy of consolation.It is a series of observations about the actual structure of impermanence. What it produces, what it reveals, and what becomes available to the person who stops managing around it.For those who have lost something that cannot be replaced.Or who want to understand what mortality actually does to the life it governs.
