Moving through the fundamental question of this paradox, this book offers a constellation of theoretical and critical essays that shed light on the darkness of the will: its obscurity to itself. Through in-depth analysis of medieval and modern sources--Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius, Eriugena, Dante, Meister Eckhart, Chaucer, Nietzsche, Cioran, Meher Baba--this volume interrogates the nature and meaning of the will, along seven modes: spontaneity, potentiality, sorrow, matter, vision, eros, and sacrifice. These multiple lines of inquiry are finally presented to coalesce around one fundamental point of agreement: the will says yes, yet only a will that knows how to say no to itself, entering the silence of its own darkness, will ever be free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Masciandaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8869771563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788869771569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mimesis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Nicola Masciandaro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024793719039,"sku":"9788869771569","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37f14384-4e9a-4b55-aeb7-7b8fa2ce6876.jpg?v=1723129220","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-darkness-of-the-nicola-masciandaro-9788869771569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
