Unarguably, Jean-Luc Marion is the leading figure in French
phenomenology as well as one of the proponents of the so-called
"theological turn" in European philosophy. In this volume, Kevin
Hart has assembled a stellar group of philosophers and theologians
from the United States, Britain, France, and Australia to examine
Marion's work-especially his later work-from a variety of
perspectives. The resulting volume is an indispensable resource for
scholars working at the intersection of philosophy and theology.
Hart characterizes Marion's work as a profound response to two
major philosophical events: the end of metaphysics and the
beginning of phenomenology. From the vantage point reached by
Marion over the years, Hart argues, that end and that beginning are
one and the same. Yet their unity is elusive: in order to discern
it, the student of Marion must follow his vigorous and subtle
rethinking of the history of modern philosophy and the nature of
phenomenology. Only then can the reader begin to perceive many
things that metaphysics has occluded, especially the nature of
selfhood and our relations with God. The newfound unity of these
two events is productive; it allows Marion to revise and extend the
philosophy of disclosure that Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger
were the first to practice. With Marion as guide, we can also
refigure the human subject-the gifted one (l'adonne)-and thus also
secure a phenomenological understanding of revelation. Marion
challenges theologians to pursue the implications of this move.
This is the Marion for whom a revived phenomenology is philosophy
today, the Marion deeply concerned to understand, maintain, and, if
need be, rework the central insights of Husserl and Heidegger. The
volume includes essays that consider The Erotic Phenomenon (2003),
a rethinking of human subjectivity in terms of the possibility of
loving and being loved. Throughout, the contributors engage key
concepts defined by Marion-givenness, the saturated phenomenon,
erotic reduction, and counter-experience-and Marion himself
concludes with a retrospective essay written in response to
criticisms of his work.
