"Life has inherent meaning, but no inherent meaningfulness. The first is given it by virtue of all that had to occur in order for such a life to begin, exist, and itself pass onward. That I exist means all the rest of it; history, discourse, consciousness, evolution, creation and destruction alike. All of which is necessary to existence, and sufficient for its meaning to take hold. That said, at once we must make a distinction between meaning, all of which I inherit and of which I am made, and meaningfulness; that which I conjure for myself and what makes a life, rather than a mere existence. Meaning is provided for us; we must make our own meaningfulness. This singular challenge contains each of the forces present to both enact consciousness in the world, and to prevent local creation from impinging too bodily upon the fabric of creation itself. I imagine visions untold and as yet unknown, but the cosmos has already such vistas and in plenitude. I reconstruct my Promethean bequeathment, limning legacy and lustering language, but the world has within it all it ever needs. And just as the wider nature has no need of our species, so the nature of the world which worlds itself and onward, takes little occasion to note the oft too-precious perambulations of its vexed and vexing children." (From the book.)
This introduction to hermeneutics (the method by which we interpret the world's meaning and personal meaningfulness alike) outlines four major forms of modern interpretation, aligning them with four key objects: image, text, music, and world, resulting in both a manual and a masterwork.
Author Bio: G.V. Loewen is the author of almost 70 books, and was professor of the human sciences for over two decades.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Biblios, frankfurt am main, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
