Human existence may be conceived according to its temporal dimensions of appropriation, participation, and offering. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging with the Western philosophical tradition from the Neo-Pythagoreans and Plato to Heidegger and Arendt, drawing especially from Augustine and Weil, Goodchild offers striking reconstructions of the meanings of economic, political and religious dimensions of life. The outcome is an elaboration of conceptions of wealth, power, contingency, necessity and grace which give a new orientation to human life and endeavour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoodchild situates this discussion within the current historical era of the breakdown of global financial capitalism. He draws from the Financial Revolution in England as a time of crisis which illuminates our own. Faced with a range of global crises, Goodchild proposes an alternative between strategies for survival: either submission before a Great Machine of Credit as an autonomous, unthinking system for regulating human behaviour or accession to the necessity of grace as a way of empowering the pursuit of wealth, justice and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Goodchild\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786614294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786614292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Philip Goodchild","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450280800511,"sku":"9781786614292","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c62b3dcd-9e27-44fb-9e09-2b98e5c0fd2b.jpg?v=1698503897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-metaphysics-of-trust-philip-goodchild-9781786614292","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
