In the Self''s Place - The Approach of Saint Augustine

Zusatztext "The confrontation of Heidegger with Nietzsche! the confrontation of Derrida with Heidegger! and now the confrontation of Marion with Augustine! In the Self's Place engages with Augustine's Confessions ! one of the incomparable texts that open the intellectual and religious space we call 'the West.' Here Marion continues his critiques of the self and metaphysics! his analysis of praise! and his bold case for the univocity of love. Also he shows us something new: how his theory of the saturated phenomenon can be used to read a canonical narrative. A major achievement!"
