Human existence may be conceived according to its temporal dimensions of appropriation, participation, and offering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging with the Western philosophical tradition from the Neo-Pythagoreans and Plato to Heidegger and Arendt, drawing especially from Augustine and Weil, Goodchild offers striking reconstructions of the meanings of economic, political and religious dimensions of life. The outcome is an elaboration of conceptions of wealth, power, contingency, necessity and grace which give a new orientation to human life and endeavour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoodchild situates this discussion within the current historical era of the breakdown of global financial capitalism. He draws from the Financial Revolution in England as a time of crisis which illuminates our own. Faced with a range of global crises, Goodchild proposes an alternative between strategies for survival: either submission before a Great Machine of Credit as an autonomous, unthinking system for regulating human behaviour or accession to the necessity of grace as a way of empowering the pursuit of wealth, justice and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface:A discourteous welcome\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One:Introducing the Metaphysics of Trust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Parable:A failed escape\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One:Trust and orientation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two:The metaphysics of everyday life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Finitude and trust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four:A Recapitulation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Two:Wealth and Appropriation: Metaphysics of Credit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Parable: The usurper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five:Land, human power, and capital\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six:The wealth of significance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: More or less real\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Dwelling within limits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nine:Varieties of appropriation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Ten:Living economically\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Three:Power and Participation: Politics of Credit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Parable:The city of justice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eleven: Religion, reason and will\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Twelve: State power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Thirteen: Individual power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fourteen: Respect and participation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fifteen: Justice and metaphysics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Sixteen: Politics of faith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Four: Necessity and Grace: Theology of Credit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFourth Parable: The Great Machine of Credit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fifteen: The birth of the modern age\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Sixteen: The end of global capitalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seventeen: The miracle of redemption\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eighteen: The potency of ideas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nineteen: Trust and grace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Repetition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042478260567,"sku":"9781786614292","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786614292.jpg?v=1750954313","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-metaphysics-of-trust-credit-and-faith-iii-9781786614292","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
