Klappentext Jean-Luc Marion advances a controversial argument for a God free of all categories of Being. Taking a characteristically postmodern stance, Marion challenges a fundamental premise of both metaphysics and neo-Thomist theology: that God, before all else, must be. Rather, he locates a "God without Being" in the realm of agape, Christian charity or love. This volume, the first translation into English of the work of this leading Catholic philosopher, offers a uniquely contemporary perspective on the nature of God. Zusammenfassung Suitable for scholars and students of philosophy and religion! this title challenges a fundamental premise of traditional philosophy! theology! and metaphysics: that God! before all else! must be. It features discussions of the nature of God.
