{"product_id":"death-herbert-fingarette-9780812693300","title":"Death: Philosophical Soundings","description":"Fingarette faces up to the reality of death and demolishes some popular errors in our thinking about death. He examines the metaphors which mislead us: death as parting, death as sleep, immortality as the denial of death, and selflessness as a kind of consolation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe thinks through some of the more illuminating metaphors: death as the end of the world for me, death as the conclusion of a story, life as ceremony, and life as a tourist visit to earth. Fingarette goes on to discuss living a future without end and living a present without bounds. The author offers no facile consolation, but he identifies the true root of fear of death, and explains how the meaning of death can be reconceived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herbert Fingarette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812693302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812693300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.06w x 0.44d","brand":"Herbert Fingarette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994915078399,"sku":"9780812693300","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c189ec46-61be-4159-9a8f-9529b33ac34b.jpg?v=1683332925","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-herbert-fingarette-9780812693300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
