{"product_id":"mimetic-reflections-william-schweiker-9780823212545","title":"Mimetic Reflections","description":"This book argues that a basic problem in thinking about understanding, temporality, and selfhood is due to \"imitative\" modes of thought found in much traditional Western philosophy and theology. Given this, the book examines the complex role that \"image\" and \"imitation\" play in understanding and its world of meaning, the import of language and narrative for configuring human temporality, and the existence of self. The author's contention is that when critically understood, mimesis, with its roots in performative enactment, holds resources for reconsidering these basic dimensions of human life beyond imitative paradigms of thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Schweiker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823212548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823212545\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 01\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"William Schweiker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926551298303,"sku":"9780823212545","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_be4378d8-93a1-414b-972a-f4e9e962f963.jpg?v=1681083701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mimetic-reflections-william-schweiker-9780823212545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
