Using the Augustinian experience of \u003ci\u003econfessio\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Luc Marion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804762910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804762915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Jean-Luc Marion","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981260161279,"sku":"9780804762915","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0861ea5b-a70e-4990-b1cd-a23c9d1b3b5b.jpg?v=1683254542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-selfs-place-jean-luc-marion-9780804762915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
