Description
Book SynopsisThis study examines the relationship between being and God in Aristotle and Heidegger. Focusing on the methodology of each thinker, Catriona Hanley contrasts their beliefs on the infinite or finite nature of being, and God's role therein.
Trade ReviewThis book is a tour de force that contrasts Aristotle's eternal, theoretical ontology of actuality with Heidegger's finite, protopractical ontology of unique possibility from methodology to theological concretion. -- Theodore J. Kisiel, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of PHilosophy, Northern Illinois University
A substantive contribution to the literature both as historical research and as a conceptual-comparative study. I expect this original and carefully crafted text to stir much debate within philosophical circles both continental and classical. -- Thomas Sheehan, Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford University
An excellent work of scholarship, remarkable both for its originality and its importance in broaching a topic much in need of exploration in philosophy. It is carefully and thoroughly researched; well-structured and methodologically sound, it genuinely contributes new insights to the field. -- Adriaan T. Peperzak, Arthur J. Schmitt Chair in Philosophy, Loyola University of Chicago
