"In the Self's Place" is an original phenomenological reading of
Augustine that considers his engagement with notions of identity in
"Confessions." Using the Augustinian experience of "confessio,"
Jean-Luc Marion develops a model of selfhood that examines this
experience in light of the whole of the Augustinian corpus. Towards
this end, Marion engages with noteworthy modern and postmodern
analyses of Augustine's most "experiential" work, including the
critical commentaries of Jacques Derrida, Martin Heidegger, and
Ludwig Wittgenstein. Marion ultimately concludes that Augustine has
preceded postmodernity in exploring an excess of the self over and
beyond itself, and in using this alterity of the self to itself, as
a driving force for creative relations with God, the world, and
others. This reading establishes striking connections between
accounts of selfhood across the fields of contemporary philosophy,
literary studies, and Augustine's early Christianity.
