Abstract

The late Jean-Louis Chrétien responsorial and polyphonic style of thinking is nothing less than a performance of gratitude, which manifests the many ways and manners that our wounded finitude is graced and blessed along the peregrine path of human existence. Finitude's Wounded Praise: Responses to Jean-Louis Chrétien is a receptive celebratory response to the immense fecundity and potential of Chrétien "thank you" of gratitude. This volume gathers leading Chrétien scholars and thinkers to explicate, explore, think with, and commemorate his thought. The essays in the volume engage Chrétien work from three primary fields: phenomenological, literary/poetic, and theological. Finitude's Wounded Praise is a diverse, exploratory, and impressive testament to the expansive and enduring richness of Chrétien oeuvre."--Publisher's website.
