The Unforgettable and the Unhoped For [Paperback]

In this first English translation of an important work, a leading phenomenologist unfolds the ideas of memory and loss, of the immemorable, and of hope, as he opens a phenomenological path to the heart of classical thought. He stands with Levinas, Marion, and Henry in attempting to join philosophy and religion after Kant, Nietzsche, and Heidegger.Densely thought and beautifully written.Without question, The Unforgettable and the Unhoped for proves to be an important contribution in the ongoing campaign of the theological turn.
