Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One night, lying on a rooftop under a sky full of more stars than he'd ever accounted for, the author realized he understood almost nothing about the reality he was standing in.This book is the record of what happened next.The Ocean Beyond the Glass is not a philosophy textbook, and it doesn't pretend to have settled the questions it asks. It's the honest, first-person account of one person's attempt to actually think through the biggest questions a human being can ask - what survives death, whether consciousness can ever fully explain itself, why the universe seems built to be understood at all, and what it means to live meaningfully inside mysteries that may never fully resolve.Along the way, it draws on Plato and Kant, the Upanishads and Nagarjuna, Einstein and quantum mechanics, Viktor Frankl and the Fermi Paradox - not as a survey to get through, but as fellow travelers up the same mountain, each offering a different vantage point on a summit nobody has actually reached.This book doesn't argue you into a conclusion. It's built to sit with a question rather than rush past it - and it takes seriously the strongest objections to its own ideas along the way, including the case that some of these questions might not have answers at all.If you've ever stood somewhere quiet, looked up, and felt the specific vertigo of realizing how much you don't know - this book was written for that exact feeling.What you'll find inside: A personal, plainly-written journey through consciousness, cosmology, death, and meaningHistorical philosophy and contemporary science treated as one continuous conversation, not separate subjectsThe honest admission of where certainty actually runs out - and why that's not a failure.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You will never fully know another person. Not your closest friend, not your partner, not the parent who raised you.The Face I Cannot Fully See starts from that uncomfortable fact and asks what actually follows from it. The book's central image is a fogged window, lit from within - you can see a shape moving behind it, but never quite the whole picture. That's not a flaw in how we love people. It's the actual condition of loving anyone at all.Across fourteen chapters, this book moves from the philosophical (why no amount of data could ever tell you what it's like to be someone else) into the intensely personal: what makes a friendship survive decades of silence while another dissolves the moment convenience runs out, why family asks us to stay loyal to people whose inner world we never chose and may never fully understand, and what trust actually is once you realize it was never a rational calculation of risk - it's the decision to stop demanding proof that can never arrive.It doesn't stop at the comfortable parts of intimacy. There are real, clear-eyed chapters on betrayal, on forgiving reasons you'll never completely understand, on the specific grief of losing someone before you'd finished learning who they were, and on what happens when we stop seeing people and start sorting them into categories instead.This is a book for anyone who has ever loved someone and felt, at the same time, the strange vertigo of realizing you'll never see all the way in - and wanted to understand why that doesn't make love smaller, just more honest.What you'll find inside: A clear-eyed philosophy of love, friendship, family, and trust - grounded in real psychology, not just abstractionHonest chapters on betrayal, grief, and forgiveness, not just the comfortable parts of intimacyA close look at how modern life - categorization, algorithms, screens - makes this old problem sharper than ever. …
