- Title
On Fragments and Certainty.
- Authors
Carpenter, Anne M.
- Abstract
The article informs about Anne M. Carpenter's review essay on Thomas Pfau's "Incomprehensible Certainty," focusing on the tension between Pfau's distinction of image versus picture and the mourning aspect of loss in Western thought. Carpenter wrestles with Pfau's Neoplatonist and Christian conception of the image as a gateway to noncontingent meaning, reflecting on Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus to articulate concerns about the implications of different metaphysical perspectives on human existence.
