{"product_id":"the-absent-god-and-other-susan-taubes-9781503648630","title":"\"The Absent God\" and Other Critical and Philosophical Writings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis essential work collects Susan Taubes's philosophical and critical writings, establishing her as one of the most remarkable philosophical minds of the twentieth century. At the centerpiece of the volume is Susan Taubes's dissertation on Simone Weil, \"The Absent God\", and also included are her previously published essays and reviews on Weil, Heidegger, Genet and Camus, as well as an unpublished fragment on Kafka. Taken together, these rigorously philosophical works show Taubes to be a thinker preoccupied with seeking out a lexicon--of myth and symbol, image and narrative--by which to articulate the conundrum of how to live and die in a cosmos saturated with meaning but devoid of divinity. There has been a surge of interest in Taubes following the recent republication of her novels \u003ci\u003eDivorcing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLament for Julia\u003c\/i\u003e. With an incisive introduction by Sarah Hammerschlag, this volume provides the necessary supplement to her fictional corpus, tracking Taubes's transformation from philosopher to novelist, while revealing Taubes to be not only an extraordinary literary voice but a profound scholarly one as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Taubes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150364863X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503648630\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 01\/12\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Susan Taubes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001116238079,"sku":"9781503648630","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-absent-god-and-other-susan-taubes-9781503648630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
