Sommario/riassunto

Overcoming Onto-theology is a stunning collection of essays by Merold



Westphal, one of America’s leading continental philosophers of religion, in which Westphal carefully explores the nature and the structure of a postmodern Christian philosophy. Written with characteristic clarity and charm, Westphal offers masterful studies of Heidegger’s early lectures on Paul and Augustine, the idea of hermeneutics, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Derrida, and Nietzsche, all in the service of building his argument that postmodern thinking offers an indispensable tool for rethinking Christian faith. A must read for every student and professor of continental philosophy and the philosophy of religion, Overcoming Onto-theology is an invaluable collection that brings together in one place fourteen provocative and lucid essays by one of the most important thinkers working in American philosophy today.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the concept and practice of social innovation, emphasizing systemic change and social justice. It details the development of the Élisabeth Bruyère School of Social Innovation, the first of its kind in Canada, which focuses on addressing injustices, reducing poverty, and fostering equity through innovative solutions. Written collaboratively by a team of experts, the book examines



strategic challenges, methodologies, and tools for promoting grassroots initiatives, cooperatives, and social enterprises. Targeting activists, community leaders, and scholars, it serves as both a reflective narrative and a practical guide for driving transformative change in the face of global crises, including social inequality and environmental challenges.
