Perspectives in Continental Philosophy- In Excess Studies of Saturated Phenomena

In the third text in the phenomenological trilogy that includes "Reduction and Givenness" and "Being Given", Jean-Luc Marion renews his argument for a phenomenology of givenness, with penetrating analyses of the phenomena of event, idol, flesh and icon.



In the third book in the trilogy that includes Reduction and Givenness and Being Given. Marion renews his argument for a phenomenology of givenness, with penetrating analyses of the phenomena of event, idol, flesh, and icon. Turning explicitly to hermeneutical dimensions of the debate, Marion masterfully draws together issues emerging from his close reading of Descartes and Pascal, Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas and Henry. Concluding with a revised version of his response to Derrida, In the Name: How to Avoid Speaking of It, Marion powerfully re-articulates the theological possibilities of phenomenology.
