Dans «Le miracle secret», Borges imagine la mort étrange d’un écrivain praguois que la Gestapo arrête en mars 1939 et condamne, au seul prétexte qu’il est juif et qu’il a été dénoncé comme tel, à être passé par les armes. La nuit qui précède son exécution, il a rêvé que la voix même de Dieu lui accorde le temps nécessaire pour achever son travail. Le lendemain à l’aube, entre le moment où les soldats du peloton braquent leurs fusils sur lui et celui de la décharge mortelle, le temps de l’«univers physique» est comme suspendu : l’écrivain remanie et accomplit en secret son «oeuvre», à jamais pourtant inachevée. À la considérer sous l’angle de son ultime «récit» publié, L’Instant de ma mort, et d’un énigmatique fragment «autobiographique» antérieur, «(Une scène primitive ?)», on est peut-être en droit d’estimer que le conte de Borges emblématise assez bien l’oeuvre «désoeuvrée» de Blanchot, tout entière écrite ou réécrite, achevée inachevable, dans le temps incommensurable qui sépare le 20 juillet 1944, date à laquelle il faillit être fusillé par les nazis (ou telle journée de l’hiver 1914 ou 1915, qui fut celle d’une extase enfantine), et la mort désormais survenue le 20 février 2003 : le temps atemporel de l’agonie native et de la mort immémoriale, «impossible nécessaire», qui aura autorisé la dernière méditation de celui qui avait interrogé sans relâche la Littérature ou l’Écriture dans sa possibilité même. Ce livre tente de proposer une lecture de ces deux textes. Plus exactement, il les interroge pour mettre à l’épreuve ce qui, à travers la hantise du « mourir », s’est joué quant aux catégories majeures de la fiction et du mythe, du testimonial et du testamentaire, de l’aveu et du secret, de la non-présence à soi et du retrait, de l’autre (éthique) et de l’être-ensemble (politique), etc. Mais surtout quant à ce qu’il faut bien se résoudre à nommer l’écriture posthume de Blanchot.

This book aims to extend upon the growing body of literature concerned with dying and death. The book analyses various experiences and representations of dying and death from the perspective of academic disciplines as diverse as theology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and literature. The rationale for this is simple. As objects of study dying and death cannot be usefully reduced to a single academic perspective. One cannot hope to gain a deep and comprehensive understanding of dying and death by gazing at them through a single lens. Bringing various perspectives in a single volume aims to both accurately record those enduring properties of the phenomena, such as mourning and fear, whilst simultaneously analysing the diversity and heterogeneity of human beings' attempts to come to terms with this most forbidding of existential horizons.

This book argues persuasively and passionately that patient care is best when the patient’s healing journey is as good as it can possibly be. That means the patient as a Whole Person – the self in all its physiological, emotional, social and even spiritual dimensions – should receive truly comprehensive patient-centered care.  In Whole Person Care: Transforming Healthcare, the author, an expert in whole person care theory and practice, outlines the background of whole person care, explains and illustrates the key ideas, puts the growing movement of whole person care in the context of other recent developments in healthcare, and explores the implications of whole person care for individual practitioners, healthcare teams, and the organization of healthcare at the institutional and systems level. In addition, the author provides a compelling, coherent narrative, rich with clinical examples and vignettes, that clarifies for physicians, medical students and healthcare administrators the meaning of whole person care and its implications for the future of medical practice. An invaluable resource for all clinicians and personnel concerned with managing patients with acute and chronic illness, Whole Person Care: Transforming Healthcare is a major addition to the literature and a must-read for health practitioners and health administrators at every level.

This book examines how modern medicine’s mechanistic conception of the body has become a defense mechanism to cope with death anxiety. Robbins draws from research on the phenomenology of the body, the history of cadaver dissection, and empirical research in terror management theory to highlight how medical culture operates as an agent which promotes anesthetic consciousness as a habit of perception. In short, modern medicine’s comportment toward the cadaver promotes the suppression of the memory of the person who donated their body. This suppression of the memorial body comes at the price of concealing the lived, experiential body of patients in medical practice. Robbins argues that this style of coping has influenced Western culture and has helped to foster maladaptive patterns of perception associated with experiential avoidance, diminished empathy, death denial, and the dysregulation of emotion. .
