Description
Transcendence for Beginnersexamines life writing and philosophy across certain European and Indian traditions, exploring questions of childhood and mortality, art and religion, beauty and loss. Informed by her experience as a biographer of Sren Kierkegaard and George Eliot as well as her own life, Clare Carlisle asks what one human existence can reveal, and how writing can transmit its truth. Intellectually stimulating and deeply moving,Transcendence for Beginnersenacts a philosophy of the heart, told by a generous and compelling guide. This bold, enlivening work asserts Carlisles place as one of our most innovative thinkers.
