{"product_id":"9780253110992","title":"Transcendence and Self-Transcendence: On God and the Soul","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe question of the transcendence of God has traditionally been thought\u003cbr\u003e in terms of the difference between pantheism, which affirms that God is wholly\u003cbr\u003e \"within\" the world, and theism, which affirms that God is both\u003cbr\u003e \"within\" and \"outside\" the world, both immanent and\u003cbr\u003e transcendent. Against Heidegger's critique of onto-theology and the general\u003cbr\u003e postmodern concern for respecting and preserving the difference of the other, Merold\u003cbr\u003e Westphal seeks to rethink divine transcendence in relation to modes of human\u003cbr\u003e self-transcendence. Touching upon Spinoza, Hegel, Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius,\u003cbr\u003e Aquinas, Barth, Kierkegaard, Levinas, Derrida, and Marion, Westphal's work centers\u003cbr\u003e around a critique of onto-theology, the importance of alterity, the decentered self,\u003cbr\u003e and the autonomous transcendental ego. Westphal's phenomenology of faith sets this\u003cbr\u003e book into the main currents of Continental philosophy of religion today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101502390512,"sku":"9780253110992","price":18.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253110992","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
