{"product_id":"passion-for-nothing-peter-kline-9781506432656","title":"Passion for Nothing: Kierkegaard's Apophatic Theology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePassion for Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e offers a reading of Kierkegaard as an apophatic author. As it functions in this book, \"apophasis\" is a flexible term inclusive of both \"negative theology\" and \"deconstruction.\" One of the main points of this volume is that Kierkegaard's authorship opens pathways between these two resonate but often contentiously related terrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main contention of this book is that Kierkegaard's apophaticism is an ethical-religious difficulty, one that concerns itself with the \"whylessness\" of existence. This is a theme that Kierkegaard inherits from the philosophical and theological traditions stemming from Meister Eckhart. Additionally, the forms of Kierkegaard's writing are irreducibly apophatic-animated by a passion to communicate what cannot be said.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines Kierkegaard's apophaticism with reference to five themes: indirect communication, God, faith, hope, and love. Across each of these themes, the aim is to lend voice to \"the unruly energy of the unsayable\" and, in doing so, let Kierkegaard's theological, spiritual, and philosophical provocation remain a living one for us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506432654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506432656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Peter Kline","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065662681343,"sku":"9781506432656","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7213af84-0cde-425a-90db-b0be34fa9f7a.jpg?v=1768676453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/passion-for-nothing-peter-kline-9781506432656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
