A Time of Loss: How We Learn to Let Go
6.99 €
We live in a time of loss—enormous and subtle, obvious and ambiguous, personal and collective. With the world's instability almost impossible to ignore, we learn to cope with the deaths of loved ones and the incessant news of the deaths of strangers. German writer and journalist Daniel Schreiber rereads the works of philosophers (from Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers to Jacques Derrida and Judith Butler) and writers (from Joan Didion to Joseph Brodsky) in search of ways to cope with loss in a world that still feels familiar, but has been replaced by a more ominous version. He finds hope in a new—cautious, less hopeful, and more realistic than before—"confidence of diminished expectations" in relation to an uncertain future.
