Böcker av Jean-Luc Marion

A phenomenological reflection on central aspects of Christian revelation: the practice of faith, the obligation and role of the baptized Christian, the gift of the sacraments, the future of Catholicism, the role of the Christian intellectual, examined always in light of their inherent rationality and relationship to philosophical reason.

This work is based on Professor Marion's Gifford Lectures at the University of Glasgow.

This ambitious work engages several major philosophical genres. It responds to current discussions of the "gift," which lie on the frontier of literature, anthropology, and economics, notably in the work of Jacques Derrida, and offers a detailed critique of the basis on which those discussions have proceeded.

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.

Jean-Luc Marion: The Essential Writings is an anthology of Marion's diverse writings in the history of philosophy, Christian theology, and phenomenology. The general introduction provides students with sufficient background for them to tackle the work of this important contemporary philosopher without first having to take preliminary courses on Husserl and Heidegger.

Brings together essays on the topics of the ego and of God. This book illustrates the profound connection between the author's phenomenological concerns and his writings on Descartes. It highlights the topics - liberating god and the self from the constrictions of metaphysics - in the philosophy of Descartes.

In the third text in the phenomenological trilogy that includes "Reduction and Givenness" and "Being Given", Jean-Luc Marion renews his argument for a phenomenology of givenness, with penetrating analyses of the phenomena of event, idol, flesh and icon.

Marked sharply by its time and place (Paris in the 1970s), this early theological text by Jean-Luc Marion maintains a strikingly deep resonance with his most recent, groundbreaking, and ever more widely discussed phenomenology.

In the Self's Place is a phenomenological reading of Augustine that engages with modern and postmodern analyses of Augustinian philosophy.

In seven essays that draw from metaphysics, phenomenology, literature, Christological theology, and Biblical exegesis,Marion sketches several prolegomena to a future fuller thinking and saying of love's paradoxical reasons, exploring evil, freedom, bedazzlement, and the loving gaze; crisis, absence, and knowing.

Ranging across artists from Raphael to Rothko, Caravaggio to Pollock, The Crossing of the Visible offers both a critique of contemporary accounts of the visual and a constructive alternative. According to Marion, the proper response to the 'nihilism' of postmodernity is not iconoclasm, but rather a radically iconic account of the visual and the arts which opens them to the invisible.

While humanists have pondered the subject of love to the point of obsessiveness, philosophers have steadfastly ignored it. This book offers an inquiry into the concept of love itself.

Dealing with the relationship between philosophy and theology, this work is useful for understanding the progression of the author's thought on such topics as the saturated phenomenon and the possibility of something like "Christian Philosophy". It explores the boundary line between philosophy and theology or their mutual enrichment and influence.
