{"product_id":"9780226505657","title":"God Without Being: Hors-Texte, Second Edition","description":"Jean-Luc Marion is one of the world’s foremost philosophers of religion as well as one of the leading Catholic thinkers of modern times. In \u003ci\u003eGod Without Being\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eagape\u003c\/i\u003e, or Christian charity and love. If God is love, Marion contends, then God loves before he actually is.\u003cbr\u003eFirst translated into English in 1991, \u003ci\u003eGod Without Being\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eGod Without Being\u003c\/i\u003e will remain essential reading for scholars and students of philosophy and religion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Daring and profound. . . .
