In Excess Studies of Saturated Phenomena Jean-Luc Marion, Translated by Robyn Horner, Translated by Vincent Berraud $55.00 ISBN: 9780823222162 Perspectives in Continental Philosophy, no. 27 Book (Hardcover) Fordham University Press 224 pages 2002 Quantity:

In Excess: Studies of Saturated Phenomena is the third book in Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenological trilogy that includes Reduction and Givenness and Being Given. Marion renews his argument for a phenomenology of givenness, with penetrating analyses of the phenomena of event, idol, flesh, and icon. With an eye turned more explicitly than ever before to hermeneutical dimensions of the debate, Marion masterfully draws together issues emerging from his close reading of Descartes and Pascal, Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas and Henry. Concluding with a revised version of his response to Derrida, In the Name: How to Avoid Speaking of It, Marion powerfully re-articulates the theological possibilities of phenomenology. Flowing at a breathtaking pace, In Excess is Marion writing at his very best, and readily illustrates why he has been described as one of the world's most important living philosophers. Jean-Luc Marion’s other books for Fordham include The Idol and Distance, Prolegomena to Charity and, as co-author, Phenomenology and the "Theological Turn": The French Debate.
