The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – luminosity.
The Modern Philosophical Revolution:The Luminosity Of Existence breaks new ground by demonstrating the continuity of European philosophy from Kant to Derrida. David Walsh examines how major contemporary thinkers transform the understanding of being, personhood & transcendence. Walsh uses luminosity metaphorically as a self-revealing presence.
The beautiful book reveals that modern philosophy culminates in a renewed appreciation of our existence as luminous with inherent value & meaning. Our existence is not a neutral or purposeless. It’s luminous, radiating significance because we encounter a world that already shines with an infinite light. Meaning is not constructed from nothing. Our world is pre-meaningful. We interpret & cherish what is already given abundantly in a luminous way. Inspirational.
