The 'end of the world' opens up philosophical questions concerning
the very notion of the world, which is a fundamental element of all
existential, phenomenological and hermeneutical philosophy. Is the
'end of the world' for us 'somebody's' death (the end of
'being-in-the-world') or the extinction of many or of all (the end
of the world itself)? Is the erosion of the 'world' a phenomenon
that does not in fact affect the notion of the world as a
fundamental feature of all existential-ontological inquiry? This
volume examines the present state of these concerns in philosophy,
film and literature. It presents a philosophical hermeneutics of
the present state of the world and explores the principal questions
of the philosophical accounts of the end of the world, such as
finality and finitude. It also shows how literature and cinema have
ventured to express the end of the world while asking if a
consequent expression of the end of the world is also an end of its
expression.
