Description: "Examines conceptions of death in German literature and philosophy arguing that the dialectical thinking of Hegel and Hölderin erases the metaphysical paradigm of death and sets the stage for the existential interpretations advanced by Nietzsche, Rilke, and Heidegger. Identifies and describes common ground in the way death is viewed - as the promise of possibility, freedom, and wholeness"--Provided by publisher.
