Shortly before her death, philosopher Gillian Rose began work on a
new book-her Paradiso-thus fulfilling her promise at the end of
Love's Work to 'stay in the fray, in the revel of ideas and risk'.
Confident even only a week before her death that she could complete
the work, all that remains are these fragments. In them, Rose
combines the detached insight of one who is taking leave, or who
has almost left, with a desire to participate in the joys of life
until the last. Exceeding the injunction to 'keep your mind in hell
and despair not', Paradiso sketches a movement through the hell and
despair of terminal illness to an affirmation of the joys of
companionship and memory. Paradiso contains some of Rose's most
serene and affirmatory writing, and in that light completes one of
the most remarkable philosophical oeuvres of the late twentieth
century.
