In God Without Being, Marion challenges a fundamental premise of traditional philosophy, theology, and metaphysics: that God, before all else, must be. Taking a characteristically postmodern stance and engaging in passionate dialogue with Heidegger, he locates a "God without Being" in the realm of agape, or Christian charity and love. If God is love, Marion contends, then God loves before he actually is. First translated into English in 1991, God Without Being continues to be a key book for discussions of the nature of God. This second edition contains a new preface by Marion as well as his 2003 essay on Thomas Aquinas. Offering a controversial, contemporary perspective, God Without Being will remain essential reading for scholars and students of philosophy and religion. "Daring and profound. . . . In matters most central to his thesis, [Marion]'s control is admirable, and his attunement to the nuances of other major postmodern thinkers is impressive."-Theological Studies "A truly remarkable work."-First Things "Very rewarding reading."-Religious Studies ReviewReligion and PostmodernismGod (Christianity)OntologyPhilosophical theologyGod (Christianity)Ontology.Philosophical theology.211Marion Jean-Luc1946-142253Carlson Thomas A1668964Tracy David162231MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824176603321God without being4029936UNINA
