In Thomas Macho's work Metaphors of Death: On the Logic of Transcendental Experience (1987), one of the eternal questions about the "last things" of human life – dying and death – is situated within a dense network of metaphorical comprehensions of the situation of nonexistence. Philosophical, social, medical, religious, ethnographic, and esoteric discourses, sometimes intertwined, sometimes in irreconcilable conflict with each other, outline a vast field of reflection on the fact, sense, or nonsense of death, and on the very possibility of speaking about the incomprehensible.
