Awaiting Apocalypse
By Paul Corcoran.
Description
The current obsession with the "end of the millennium" illustrates the enduring power of the idea of endings. This fascination cannot be simply dismissed as faulty logic, a form of madness, or a primitive survival of childish thinking. Opening a path or understanding between ancient conceptions of meaning and the skeptical predicates of modern science, Awaiting Apocalypse shows how ordinary and extraordinary endings are inherent in the narrative structure of human experience and the sedimentation of that experience as historical meaning. - from Amzon
