D. Laing, Gregory Bateson, Douglas Harding, and E. M. Cioran. He discloses the moral possibilities liberated through death acceptance by showing how living beings, who are of space not merely in it, are fundamentally on loan to themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heady multidisciplinary work, How Non-being Haunts Being explores how absence, incompleteness, and negation saturate life, language, thought, and culture. It details how meaning and moral agency depend upon forms of non-being, and it argues that death acceptance in no way inevitably slides into nihilism. Thoroughgoing death acceptance, in fact, opens opportunities for deeper levels of self-understanding and for greater compassion regarding our common fate. Sure to provoke thought and to stimulate much conversation, it offers countless insights into the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Nothing at the Heart of Existence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Life and Many Modes of Bodily Non-Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Language, Absence, Negation, and Context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Death and the Possibilities of Human Morality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: A Mythological\/Mathematical Postscript\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fairleigh Dickinson University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042120958295,"sku":"9781683932840","price":50.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781683932840.jpg?v=1750953072","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/how-non-being-haunts-being-on-possibilities-morality-and-death-acceptance-9781683932840","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
