Transcendence and Self-transcendence
Angebote / Angebote:
The question of the transcendence of God has traditionally been thoughtin terms of the difference between pantheism, which affirms that God is wholly"within" the world, and theism, which affirms that God is both"within" and "outside" the world, both immanent andtranscendent. Against Heidegger's critique of onto-theology and the generalpostmodern concern for respecting and preserving the difference of the other, MeroldWestphal seeks to rethink divine transcendence in relation to modes of humanself-transcendence. Touching upon Spinoza, Hegel, Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius, Aquinas, Barth, Kierkegaard, Levinas, Derrida, and Marion, Westphal's work centersaround a critique of onto-theology, the importance of alterity, the decentered self, and the autonomous transcendental ego. Westphal's phenomenology of faith sets thisbook into the main currents of Continental philosophy of religion today.
