The nine essays in The Appearing of God are situated on the fluid border of philosophy and theology, and follow a path leading from classic modern philosophical discussions of experience to some leading themes in contemporary phenomenology. After an introductory exploration of Kierkegaard''sclassic text that straddles the border between philosophy and theology, the reader is introduced to Husserl''s account of perception, with its demonstration that the field of phenomena is wider than that of perceptible entities, allowing phenomena that give themselves primarily to feeling. Husserl''stheory of reduction is then subjected to a critique, which identifies phenomena wholly resistant to reduction. John Paul II''s encyclical on Faith and Reason elicits a critical rejection of its attempt to reify the boundary between natural and supernatural, the author asserting in its place thatlove is the distinguishing mark of the knowledge of God. This theme is continued in a discussion of Heidegger''s Being and Time, where a passing reference to Pascal invites interrogation of the work''s ''methodological atheism'', which is found to leave more room than appears for love of the divine. Thenext three chapters deal with the themes of Anticipation, Gift and Self-Identity, all exploring aspects of a single theme, the relation of present experience to the passage of time, and especially to the future. The final chapter puts that theme, together with the theme of love and knowledge, to theservice of an enquiry into how theology as an intellectual enterprise relates to the practice of worship. | The Appearing of God by Jean-Yves Lacoste Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Religion > General Religion P10107, Jean-Yves Lacoste<
