Word Made Skin: Figuring Language at the Surface of Flesh
ISBN: 9780823224067 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Today, body and language are prominent themes throughout philosophy. Each is strange enough on its own; this book asks what sense we might make of them together. Words reach out. Hands pick up books; eyes or fingertips scan text. But just where, if at all, do words and bodies touch? In a trio of paired chapters, each juxtaposing an illustrative story or case study to a theoretical exploration, MacKendrick examines three somatic figures of speech: the touch, the fold, and the cut. In the first pairing, resurrection stories in the Gospel of John are set against a chapter on touch, which draws...

The Matter of Voice: Sensual Soundings
ISBN: 9780823270002 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Philosophers for millennia have tried to silence the physical musicality of voice in favor of the purity of ideas without matter, souls without bodies. Nevertheless, voices resonate among bodies, among texts, and across denotation and sound; they are singular, as unique as fingerprints, but irreducibly collective too. They are material, somatic, and musical. But voices are also meaningful--they give body to concepts that cannot exist in abstractions, essential to sense yet in excess of it. They can be neither reduced to neurology nor silenced in abstraction. They complicate the logos of the...

Divine Enticement: Theological Seductions
ISBN: 9780823242900 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Theology usually appears to us to be dogmatic, judgmental, condescending, maybe therapeutic, or perhaps downright fantastical-but seldom enticing. Divine Enticement takes as its starting point that the meanings of theological concepts are not so much logical, truth-valued propositions-affirmative or negative-as they are provocations and evocations. Thus it argues for the seductiveness of both theology and its subject-for, in fact, infinite seduction and enticement as the very sense of theological query. The divine name is one by which we are drawn toward the limits of thought,...

Fragmentation and Memory: Meditations on Christian Doctrine
ISBN: 9780823229499 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Philosophers have long and skeptically viewed religion as a source of overeasy answers, with a singular, totalizing "God" and the comfort of an immortal soul being the greatest among them. But religious thought has always been more interesting--indeed, a rich source of endlessly unfolding questions. With questions from the 1885 Baltimore Catechism of the Catholic Church as the starting point for each chapter, Karmen MacKendrick offers postmodern reflections on many of the central doctrines of the Church: the oneness of God, original sin, forgiveness, love and its connection to mortality,...

Immemorial Silence
ISBN: 9780791448779 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Drawing on philosophy, theology, and literature, from the early Middle Ages to the present, Immemorial Silence traces a series of intertwined ideas. Exploring silence as the absence of language, which is nonetheless inherent in language itself, and eternity as the outside of time, cutting through time itself, the book unfolds a series of connections between these temporal and linguistic themes.
