Then, in a final turn, the potentiality of architecture's \u003ci\u003eown \u003c\/i\u003eemptying is probed. Architect and author Randall Lindstrom draws on Western and Eastern philosophy, including that of Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, Vattimo, Nishida, and Nishitani, as well as on the theology of Christianity, Judaism, and aspects of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Every chapter expands the argument that, if responsiveness to our world is taken seriously--if proper and sustainable responses are to be realised--then a deeper understanding of creativity, and so \u003ci\u003ekenosis\u003c\/i\u003e, is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book opens-up a way of thinking about creativity and humanity's readiness to be creative. It thereby presents a crucial enquiry--at the nexus of architecture, philosophy, and theology--for researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45240904646807,"sku":"9780367522186","price":12987.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367522186.webp?v=1769226955","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kenosis-creativity-architecture-appearance-through-emptying-9780367522186","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
