{"product_id":"9781036480202","title":"John Henry Newman and the Self","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn today's problematic context, John Henry Newman's (1801-1890) idea of the person is the best candidate to respond to the dissolution of the self and contemporary individualism. This book shows how, in a close dialectic within consciousness, the self recognises itself as a person, the \"other\" in front of itself, and the \"Other\" that dwells within itself. In this \"grammar of recognition\", Newman is a natural interlocutor, not only of Locke, Hume and Smith, but also of Husserl's and Edith Stein's phenomenology, and Gadamer's and Ricoeur's hermeneutic philosophy. His thought is rooted in their same humus, the empiricist reflection and the romantic emphasis on lived experience. The author's approach highlights that at the same time Newman surpasses both in his ability to denounce the limits of anthropocentric invulnerability and in his effort to go beyond the human beings' loss of meaning, opening up the perspective of God's transcendence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michele Marchetto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54523048591678,"sku":"9781036480202","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781036480202.jpg?v=1790604036","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781036480202","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
