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.\u003c\/p\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. \"Daring and profound. . . . In matters most central to his thesis, [Marion]'s control is admirable, and his attunement to the nuances of other major postmodern thinkers is impressive.\"--\u003ci\u003eTheological Studies\u003c\/i\u003e \"A truly remarkable work.\"--\u003ci\u003eFirst Things\u003c\/i\u003e \"Very rewarding reading.\"--\u003ci\u003eReligious Studies Review\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45035300192407,"sku":"9780226505657","price":4098.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226505657.webp?v=1769211686","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/god-without-being-hors-texte-second-edition-9780226505657","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
