Description
Book SynopsisCentral, yet previously unexamined, infl uences on Marion's thought
Trade Review[A]n informative and provocative book . . . .
* International Philosophical Quarterly *
Jones has written an informative and provocative book.
* International Philosophical Quarterly *
Jones's excellent work . . . should be on the wish-list of anyone interested in Jean-Luc Marion and contemporary continental philosophy and theology more broadly.
* Modern Theology *
Jones has here offered an excellent analysis of the patristic genealogy of Marion's phenomenology: clear, precise and richly documented in its accounts of Marion's thought, as well as astute and balanced in its critical appraisals. If only more philosophers – both analytic and Continental – could write this way.
