"Ends are ends," Frank Kermode goes on to clarify, "only when they are not negative but frankly transfigure the events in which they were immanent." From its imminence to its immanence, not "negative," "no longer," but transformative, how is "the End" in turn "transfigured"? In what may ending be said then to consist? To "the end times" of apocalypse and eschatology Giorgio Agamben, following Gianni Carchia, opposes messianism and "messianic time"--to the end of time, in a formula, the time of the end. To the writings of those for whom to philosophize is to learn how to die--from Plato to Montaigne and beyond--one may oppose, in like manner, the writings of Spinoza, who "thinks of death least of all things"--"for nature is Messianic by reason of its eternal and total passing away," as Benjamin writes--and so in whose pages "wisdom," transfigured, "is a meditation on life." 606 $aEthics 606 $aPhilosophy$xPolitical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xPolitical aspects. 700 $aMunro$b M$g(Michael),$0984397 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910247446303321 996 $aPhilosophy for Militants$92248539 997 $aUNINA
