Review Quotes

"The End of the World: Contemporary Philosophy and Art deals with one of the most important narratives of all time, that of the end of the world, and the possibility that it could vanish into time and space without a trace. The contributions each offer a new insight into this possibility, with many fascinating perspectives on this very rich and complex topic." --Peter Trawny, Professor, Martin-Heidegger-Insitute, University of Wuppertal
