In this critical response, Lacoste confronts the ultimate definition of human nature, the humanity of the human. He explores that definition through an analysis of the \"absolute\" as a phenomenological datum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLacoste establishes a conception of human nature that opens possibilities for religious experience and religious identity in view of Heidegger's profound challenge. He develops a phenomenology of the liturgy, and subjects the categories of \"experience,\" \"place,\" and \"human existence\" to careful examination. Making a strong case for the affective nature of religious experience, he sides with Schleiermacher against Hegel in associating religion with affectivity rather than logic. Such affectivity, he claims, can be more rational than reason as framed in Hegelian logic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Yves Lacoste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823223760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823223763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Jean-Yves Lacoste","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926553559295,"sku":"9780823223763","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dd002fe3-9b14-4baa-bc9a-c5df899eaade.jpg?v=1681083712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/experience-and-the-absolute-jean-yves-lacoste-9780823223763","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
