Description

Death: Philosophical SoundingsFingarette faces up to the reality of death and demolishes some popular errors in our thinking about death. He examines the metaphors which mislead us: death as parting, death as sleep, immortality as the denial of death, and selflessness as a kind of consolation. He thinks through some of the more illuminating metaphors: death as the end of the world for me, death as the conclusion of a story, life as ceremony, and life as a tourist visit to earth.

Fingarette faces up to the reality of death and demolishes some popular errors in our thinking about death. He examines the metaphors which mislead us: death as parting, death as sleep, immortality as the denial of death, and selflessness as a kind of consolation.

He thinks through some of the more illuminating metaphors: death as the end of the world for me, death as the conclusion of a story, life as ceremony, and life as a tourist visit to earth. Fingarette goes on to discuss living a future without end and living a present without bounds. The author offers no facile consolation, but he identifies the true root of fear of death, and explains how the meaning of death can be reconceived.

They are very nice.
I was pleasantly suprized at how they look. They are very pretty. If I bought them in a nice store I'm positive they would have cost me at least double. One of my Granddaughters who is 14 going on 20 recently got her ears pierced. These will be a perfect size for her, with an added touch of class that only a cool Grandma can give.

Beautiful earrings that work fantastically with multiple earlobe piercings
I was looking for smaller cute studs in garnet and these are amazing. I have four “regular” piercings going up my earlobes on each side into my cartilage so I prefer to have stud earrings that are small enough to not overlap and crowd, but also be super cute, and these did really well. Despite the size you could still clearly tell they were butterflies and marquise cut gemstones. Because they’re garnets and the marquise cut is slightly shallow for earring purposes, they’re not that DEEP red color people associate with a garnet, but they’re clearly garnets and the slightly brownish tinge from the shallower cuts actually set off my (dyed) red hair beautifully. If you’re more to chestnut brown or redheaded, it’ll probably work in your favor as well. Overall I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of beautiful and playful gemstone earrings, and heavily recommend them for any adult with more than two lobe piercings that wants to do more than just plain gemstone round studs.
