God and the Between

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
God and the Between offers a thoughtful re-examination of the concept of God, engaging deeply with ideas from both philosophy and religion. William Desmond explores the dynamic junction between these fields, challenging the notion that religion must simply prove itself to rational philosophy. Instead, he proposes that philosophy itself may find in religion a vital conversational partner. The book features discussions of influential thinkers such as Plotinus, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and their successors, enriching ongoing scholarly debates. This volume completes Desmond's trilogy, following Being and the Between and Ethics and the Between.

An original work which rethinks the question of God in a constructive spirit, drawing its conclusions by considering ideas received from both philosophy and religion.

  • Makes an important new contribution to the ongoing scholarly debates surrounding the intersection of philosophy and religion.
  • Suggests that this junction is not just dictated by religion having to prove its credentials to rational philosophy, but that it is also a matter of philosophy wondering if religion is the ultimate partner in dialogue.
  • Includes discussion of a wide range of significant thinkers, both traditional and contemporary, such as Plotinus, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche and his successors.
  • Completes a trilogy of works by William Desmond, complementing its companion volumes, Being and the Between and Ethics and the Between.
