God the Gift and Postmodernism

<p>Pushing past the constraints of postmodernism which cast reason andreligion in opposition God the Gift and Postmodernism seizes the opportunity to question the authority of the modern and open the limits of possible experience including the call to religious experience as a new millennium approaches. Jacques Derrida the father of deconstruction engages with Jean-Luc Marion and other religious philosophers to entertain<br />questions about intention givenness and possibility which reveal the extent to which deconstruction is structured like religion. New interpretations of Kant Heidegger Husserl and Derrida emerge from essays and discussions with distinguished philosophers and theologians from the United States and Europe. The result is that God the Gift and Postmodernism elaborates a radical phenomenology that stretches the limits of its possibility and explores areas where philosophy and religion have become increasingly and surprisingly convergent.<br /><br />Contributors include: John D.
