An original work which rethinks the question of God in a constructive spirit, drawing its conclusions by considering ideas received from both philosophy and religion.
Makes an important new contribution to the ongoing scholarly debates surrounding the intersection of philosophy and religion
Suggests that this junction is not just dictated by religion having to prove its credentials to rational philosophy, but that it is also a matter of philosophy wondering if religion is the ultimate partner in dialogue
Includes discussion of a wide range of significant thinkers, both traditional and contemporary, such as Plotinus, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche and his successors
Completes a trilogy of works by William Desmond, complementing its companion volumes, Being and the Between and Ethics and the Between.
