He contends that the visceral experience of wonder is an opening up of the human by an excess that saturates the world. This opened-by-ness points to a transforming receptivity as the basis of the person and to an extravagant Generosity that grounds all creation. Thus, wonder, which is grounded in generous Excess, is not only a gift but a demand: it calls for a liberative praxis that resist the forces that flatten the fullness of life into what is ‘useful’ and profitable and that reduce the limitless worth of fellow humans to mere commodities to be exploited and exchanged at the altar of the idolatrous ‘Market’. Wonder reveals a primordial receptivity in the human person, which demands of us an ethic of sustainability that does not reduce the other to commodity, a vulnerability that risks being opened by the other, a commitment to solidarity and liberation that resist the forces of an insatiable, idolatrous Market that seeks “only to steal and kill and destroy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: A Phenomenology of Wonder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Metaphysics of Participation as the Ontological Grounding for Wonder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlude on Generosity: A Trinitarian Reflection on the Holy Spirit as “Giver of Life”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Opened to the World or by the World?: Toward a Theological Anthropology of Wonder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: The Ethics of Wonder and Generosity: Some Initial Explorations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042672574807,"sku":"9781793637482","price":69.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/wonder-as-a-new-starting-point-for-theological-anthropology-opened-by-the-world-9781793637482","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
