The Silence Between Questions explores the spaces where words fall short and meaning quietly lingers. In this thought-provoking work, philosopher Richard Parr invites readers to reconsider not only the answers we seek but the questions we ask—and, more importantly, the moments of silence that exist between them.

Drawing on traditions from Eastern and Western philosophy, as well as literature, art, and everyday experience, Parr illuminates how uncertainty and ambiguity are not obstacles to understanding, but essential parts of it. With clarity and warmth, he shows that silence is not the absence of thought, but the ground on which deeper wisdom grows.

At once meditative and intellectually rigorous, The Silence Between Questions is a book for anyone who has ever felt the limits of language, wrestled with doubt, or wondered what it might mean to listen more deeply—to the world, to others, and to themselves.
