Contents:
The demands of the day -- When we love a place: world's end with Cormac McCarthy -- Mourning places and time in Augustine -- The conversion of time to the time of conversion: Augustine with Marion -- The time of his syllables: dying together with Derrida and Augustine -- Thinking love and mortality with Heidegger -- World loss or heart failure: pedagogies of estrangement in Harrison and Nancy -- Ages of learning ... the secular today with Emerson and Nietzsche -- Last look.
Summary: This volume explores the roles played by love in opening and sustaining the temporal worlds we inhabit and builds on previous studies of mystical theology, mortal experience, and human creativity in 'Indiscretion' (1999) and 'The Indiscrete Image' (2008). Revising Augustine's insight that when we love a place, we dwell there in the heart, the text also resists influential lines of Christian thought that seek to transcend loss and its grief by loving all things within the eternal.
