Reseña del editor:
Speaking as one of the founders of American Continental philosophy, Calvin O. Schrag offers here a discussion of a complex question: whether and how the ""death"" of the god conceived as a ""highest being"" in Western and modern traditions might open a new space within which to rethink God in terms of a ""gift"" or ""giving"" that would stand beyond the usual spate of metaphysical categories. Schrag begins by elucidating traditional theistic conceptions of God in terms of Being and explains how those conceptions inevitably give way to atheism. Moving beyond atheism and theism alike, he explores alternative understandings of God in terms of ""the gift"" by turning first from ontology to ethics, and then from ethics toward an understanding of the gift as beyond any economy of exchange and return. Thus understood, the gift becomes the content and measure o fthe fitting response within the corridors of civil society. Throughout, Schrag draws with grace, ease and precision upon the history of Western metaphysics, from Plato and Aristotle to Nietzsche and Heidegger. Most important to his central question of God as ""otherwise than Being"", however, are such influential post-Heideggerian thinkers as Jean-Luc Marion, Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas. Schrag's inquiry engages these thinkers at a serious level and also expands recent discussions of the god ""beyond"" or ""otherwise than"" Being by relating them to the work of figures hitherto overlooked or underplayed, most notably Paul Tillich. Seeking a notion of God compatible with the postmodern perspective, Schrag's work stands as a helpful guide, providing an insight into an often impenetrable philosophical and theological enigma.
Contraportada:
The most important American Continental philosopher of his generation and one of the discipline's founders offers an exceptionally clear, balanced, and informative discussion of a complex question vexing postmodern currents of philosophical and theological reflection: whether and how the "death" of the God conceived as a "highest being" in Western, and especially modern, traditions might open a new space within which to rethink God in terms of a "gift" or a "giving" that would stand beyond the category of being and exceed conceptual grasp.
Schrag begins by elucidating traditional theistic conceptions of God in terms of "Being" and explains how those conceptions very logically give way to atheism. Moving beyond atheism and theism alike, he explores alternative understandings of God in terms of "the gift" by turning first from ontology into ethics, and then from ethics toward an understanding of the gift as "the depth-dimension of ethics in civil society." Throughout, Schrag draws with grace, ease, and precision upon the history of Western metaphysics, from Plato and Aristotle through Nietzsche and Heidegger. Most important to his central question of God as "otherwise than Being," however, are such influential post-Heideggerian thinkers as Jean-Luc Marion, Jacques Derrida, and Emmanuel Levinas. Schrag's inquiry engages these thinkers at a serious level, and also expands recent discussions of the God "beyond" or "otherwise than" Being by relating them to figures hitherto overlooked or underplayed, most notably Paul Tillich.
Seeking a notion of God compatible with the postmodern perspective, Schrag's remarkably lucid and accessible work stands as a helpful guide, providing rare insight, into an often impenetrable philosophical and theological quandry.
