Description
Jean-Luc Marion's work has had a profound impact on European philosophy, particularly in the areas of phenomenology and theology. This collection of essays brings together leading scholars from around the world to examine Marion's ideas, with a particular focus on his later work. Marion's philosophy is characterized by its attempt to reconcile two major philosophical events: the end of metaphysics and the beginning of phenomenology. Hart argues that these two events are intertwined, and that understanding their unity is key to grasping Marion's central insights. By re-examining the history of modern philosophy and the nature of phenomenology, scholars can gain a deeper understanding of selfhood, our relations with God, and the human subject. This book provides an indispensable resource for scholars working at the intersection of philosophy and theology, offering new perspectives on Marion's work and its implications for contemporary thought.
