In \u003ci\u003eGod Without Being\u003c\/i\u003e, Marion challenges a fundamental premise of traditional philosophy, theology, and metaphysics: that God, before all else, must be. Taking a characteristically postmodern stance and engaging in passionate dialogue with Heidegger, he locates a \"God without Being\" in the realm of \u003ci\u003eagape\u003c\/i\u003e, or Christian charity and love. If God is love, Marion contends, then God loves before he actually is.\u003c\/p\u003eFirst translated into English in 1991, \u003ci\u003eGod Without Being\u003c\/i\u003e continues to be a key book for discussions of the nature of God. This second edition contains a new preface by Marion as well as his 2003 essay on Thomas Aquinas. Offering a controversial, contemporary perspective, \u003ci\u003eGod Without Being\u003c\/i\u003e will remain essential reading for scholars and students of philosophy and religion. \"Daring and profound. . . .

Taking a characteristically postmodern stance, Marion challenges a fundamental premise of both metaphysics and neo-Thomist theology: that God, before all else, must be. Rather, he locates a \"God without Being\" in the realm of agape, Christian charity or love. This volume, the first translation into English of the work of this leading Catholic philosopher, offers a uniquely contemporary perspective on the nature of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Luc Marion \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of philosophy at the Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), and the John Nuveen Distinguished Professor in the Divinity School and professor in the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. \u003cb\u003eThomas A.
