{"product_id":"spirit-in-ashes-edith-wyschogrod-9780300046229","title":"Spirit in Ashes: Hegel, Heidegger, and Man-Made Mass Death","description":"Contemporary phenomena of mass death--such as Hiroshima and Auschwitz--have brought with them the threat of annihilation of human life. In this provocative and disturbing book, Edith Wyschogrod shows that the various manifestations of man-made mass death form a single structure, a \"death-event,\" which radically alters our understanding of language, time, and self. She contends that the death event has its own logic and driving force that she traces to pre-Socratic philosophy and to certain mythological motifs that recur in Western thought.\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eSpirit in Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e is one book in contemporary philosophy that should be read aloud and taken to heart by any professional or intellectual who purports to have a conscience.\"--Carl Rasche, \u003ci\u003eJournal of the American Academy of Religion\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A masterful blend of scholarship, originality, and serious passion.\"--Robert C.
