Finding silence amidst restlessness is essential for a creative life and understanding death. In our digital age, how do we grasp silence when surrounded by constant noise? Mark C. Taylor's latest work offers a philosophy of silence relevant to our chaotic present, where noise often serves as distraction and control. He encourages readers to pause and listen to what remains unsaid. Taylor suggests that to truly "hear" silence, we must first "see" it, exploring its variations through the lens of modern and postmodern visual artists such as Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, James Turrell, and Anish Kapoor. He also draws from philosophers, theologians, writers, and composers to create a narrative inspired by the Stations of the Cross. Taylor emphasizes that we originate from silence and return to it, with silence acting as the space that allows thoughts to develop and words to come forth. His chapter titles reflect our relationship with silence—Without, Before, From, Beyond, Against, Within, Around, Between, Toward, With, In. By reinterpreting Hegel's phenomenology and Kierkegaard's stages of life, Taylor transforms the traditional "Via Dolorosa" into a "Via Jubilosa," celebrating silence amidst noise and light in darkness.
