Pushing past the constraints of postmodernism which cast "reason"
and"religion" in opposition, God, the Gift, and Postmodernism, seizes the
opportunity to question the authority of "the modern" and open the limits of
possible experience, including the call to religious experience, as a new millennium
approaches. Jacques Derrida, the father of deconstruction, engages with Jean-Luc
Marion and other religious philosophers to entertain
questions about
intention, givenness, and possibility which reveal the extent to which
deconstruction is structured like religion. New interpretations of Kant, Heidegger,
Husserl, and Derrida emerge from essays and discussions with distinguished
philosophers and theologians from the United States and Europe. The result is that
God, the Gift, and Postmodernism elaborates a radical phenomenology that stretches
the limits of its possibility and explores areas where philosophy and religion have
become increasingly and surprisingly convergent.
