| Sommario/riassunto: | Finite Transcendence: Existential Exile and the Myth of Home introduces and situates "existential exile" as an experience of the fundamental finitude of human existence and demonstrates how a particular way of responding in faith may enable one to find home in exile. Using the literary and philosophical oeuvre of Albert Camus as a model, this book demonstrates the manner in which mythic literature can both present and engage the condition of exile toward its possible transcendence. |
