Taschenbuch. Condition: 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. Condition: 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.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The universe is vast. Consciousness exists. What follows from those facts, and what does not? On a dark rooftop at nineteen, Shubham Mahendrakar looked at a sky without city lights and met a question that would not leave him: why is there someone here to notice any of this at all? The Ocean Beyond the Glass explores consciousness, death, selfhood, cosmology, religion, and the limits of human knowledge through lived experience, Plato, Kant, Spinoza, Buddhist thought, neuroscience, and modern physics. It keeps a careful line between evidence, live disagreement, and philosophical interpretation. This is not a claim that science has proved a hidden reality, or that any tradition has solved the mind. It is for readers of accessible philosophy, consciousness studies, and reflective nonfiction who want to take the biggest questions seriously without pretending to certainty.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. You will never fully know the people you love most. Not because you are not paying attention, and not because they are hiding, but because no mind has ever had direct access to another. The Face I Cannot Fully See takes that permanent limit as its starting point and asks what follows for love, trust, and obligation. Moving through friendship, partnership, family, betrayal, forgiveness, loneliness, and grief, and drawing on Emmanuel Levinas, Iris Murdoch, Annette Baier, Hannah Arendt, and contemporary psychology, it argues that the distance between two people is not a problem to be solved but the actual medium love has always worked in. Recurring composite figures carry the argument through a long relationship and a long loss, so the philosophy stays anchored in a kitchen, a hospital room, a funeral. For readers of accessible philosophy and reflective nonfiction who want ideas that touch ordinary life. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One question drives this entire book: why do the deepest mysteries never actually get solved - they just move?Long Live the Questions argues that this isn't a failure of human intelligence. It's structural. Some questions don't sit behind a locked door waiting for the right key; they sit at a horizon that recedes at exactly the pace you approach it - because the one doing the asking is standing inside the very thing being asked about. A mind trying to fully explain consciousness is like a flashlight trying to illuminate its own bulb.Across twenty chapters, this book takes that idea seriously across five domains: the mystery of existence itself, the mystery of mind and free will, the hidden nature of the sacred, the limits of what we can ever know, and the specific, unresolved fact of being aware that we die. Along the way it engages Leibniz against the logical positivists, Wigner's puzzle over why mathematics predicts reality before we've observed it, the neuroscience of free will, and infrared light hiding in plain sight at the edge of what the eye can see - not as trivia, but as evidence that the boundary between the known and the unknown is more interesting than either side of it alone.This isn't a book that promises to resolve your biggest questions. It's a book that makes the case for why some of them were never going to resolve - and why that might be exactly the point.What you'll find inside: A structured tour through five distinct kinds of mystery: existence, mind, the sacred, knowledge, and mortalityHistorical philosophy and contemporary science treated as one continuous argumentAn honest account of where inquiry runs out - not as a failure, but as the shape of what it means to be a finite mind inside an unfinished question This item is printed on demand.
