bidding an honest, last farewell calls for great courage and, arguably, a singular sense of clarity; it's a heuristic message worthy of our attention, particularly if we consider authors and artists who created their own worldviews for us, facing death head-on
during this ordeal, there’s nothing to lose and hide – on the folded edges dividing death and life, every thing matters
it is therefore surprising that no collective philosophical study of this critical lacuna has been undertaken to date (see Lewis 2016, Ward 2004; cf. Critchley 2008)
our next open book will consist of free-styled responses to a range of farewell messages to posterity:
death-bed
death-row
suicide notes
eulogy
headstone epitaph
