Sommario/riassunto

In this concentrated and detailed look at questions surrounding the act                of sacrifice, Dennis King Keenan discusses both the role and the meaning of                sacrifice in our lives. Building on recent



philosophical discussions on the gift and                transcendence, Keenan covers new ground with this exploration of the religious,                psychological, and ethical issues that sacrifice entails. According to Keenan,                sacrifice is paradoxically called to sacrifice itself. But what does this necessary,                yet impossible condition mean
