Sinossi

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.
