Givenness and God
Questions of Jean-Luc Marion
Fordham University Press
This book can be opened with
After the subject” and beyond Heideggerian ontology,
Marion suggests, there is the sheer givenness of
phenomena without condition. In theology, this liberation
means rethinking God in terms of phenomena such as
love, gift, and excess. In addition to an important essay
by Marion, “The Reason of the Gift,” and a dialogue
between Marion and Richard Kearney, this book contains
stimulating essays by ten other contributors: Lilian Alweiss,
Eoin Cassidy, Mark Dooley, Brian Elliott, Ian Leask,
Shane Mackinlay, Derek Morrow, John O’Donohue,
Joseph S. O’Leary, and Felix Ó Murchadha.
