Abstract: This article explores bells, and objects in general, from a philosophical perspective. More specifically, it explores the way objects orient our being, but only partially as aspects of things always remain withdrawn from access. Through an exploration of the elemental forms of bells, this article positions object exploration as a wholly spiritual and pleasurable undertaking. No matter how much we delve into something there will always be unknowable aspects to a thing. Our experience of things is an intensely metaphysical experience that only living in the world (through) time can elucidate. In this case, the long standing object bell, with all its historical and cultural uses and meanings, becomes our gateway to the metaphysical.
