Being Given: Toward a Phenomenology of Givenness: Cultural Memory in the Present

Autor Jean-Luc Marion Traducere de Jeffrey Kosky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2002

În peisajul filozofiei continentale contemporane, Being Given ocupă un loc central, fiind considerată o lucrare fundamentală pentru studiul fenomenologiei alături de reperele stabilite de Husserl și Heidegger. Volumul se încadrează în nucleul dur al programelor de studiu dedicate fenomenologiei franceze și filozofiei religiei, oferind o restructurare radicală a modului în care înțelegem apariția fenomenului. Putem afirma că miza autorului este depășirea limitelor impuse de reducția la conștiință sau la ființă, propunând în schimb „reducția la dăruire” (givenness), unde fenomenul se arată pe sine din propria inițiativă, necondiționat.

Remarcăm structura sistematică prin care Jean-Luc Marion chestionează posibilitatea fenomenologiei de a recupera un ideal niciodată pe deplin realizat în istoria disciplinei. Subliniem introducerea conceptului de „fenomen saturat”, acea manifestare care excede capacitatea subiectului de a o cuprinde, deschizând calea către o hermeneutică a evenimentului și a revelației. Cititorii familiarizați cu Rethinking God as Gift – Marion, Derrida, and the Limits of Phenomenology de Robyn Horner vor aprecia în acest volum rigoarea cu care Marion își fundamentează teoretic poziția în fața criticilor lui Derrida privind imposibilitatea darului.

În contextul operei sale, Being Given reprezintă puntea de legătură între interogațiile ontologice din „God without Being” și analizele din The Erotic Phenomenon. Dacă în alte lucrări precum Givenness and Revelation accentul cade pe dimensiunea teologică, aici autorul menține un discurs riguros fenomenologic, demonstrând cum dăruirea devine numitorul comun pentru artă, religie și etică. Este o lucrare de o densitate conceptuală remarcabilă, esențială pentru înțelegerea turnurii teologice în filozofia franceză.

Personalitate marcantă a filozofiei contemporane, acesta deține catedre prestigioase la Universitatea din Chicago și la Institutul Catolic din Paris. Opera sa, tradusă la nivel mondial, se concentrează pe istoria filozofiei moderne (în special Descartes) și pe fenomenologie. Marion este recunoscut pentru dezvoltarea conceptului de „dăruire” și pentru explorarea limitelor fenomenalității, fiind una dintre cele mai influente voci la intersecția dintre filozofia continentală și gândirea creștină.


Descriere scurtă

Along with Husserl's Ideas and Heidegger's Being and Time, Being Given is one of the classic works of phenomenology in the twentieth century. Through readings of Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, and twentieth-century French phenomenology (e.g., Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, and Henry), it ventures a bold and decisive reappraisal of phenomenology and its possibilities. Its author's most original work to date, the book pushes phenomenology to its limits in an attempt to redefine and recover the phenomenological ideal, which the author argues has never been realized in any of the historical phenomenologies. Against Husserl's reduction to consciousness and Heidegger's reduction to Dasein, the author proposes a third reduction to givenness, wherein phenomena appear unconditionally and show themselves from themselves at their own initiative.

Being Given is the clearest, most systematic response to questions that have occupied its author for the better part of two decades. The book articulates a powerful set of concepts that should provoke new research in philosophy, religion, and art, as well as at the intersection of these disciplines.

Some of the significant issues it treats include the phenomenological definition of the phenomenon, the redefinition of the gift in terms not of economy but of givenness, the nature of saturated phenomena, and the question "Who comes after the subject?" Throughout his consideration of these issues, the author carefully notes their significance for the increasingly popular fields of religious studies and philosophy of religion. Being Given is therefore indispensable reading for anyone interested in the question of the relation between the phenomenological and the theological in Marion and emergent French phenomenology.


Recenzii

"Jean-Luc Marion has established himself as the leading phenomenologist of the day. The appearance of Being Given, the English translation of what is in my view the most important philosophical work of this important thinker, marks a milestone in the reception of Marion's work in English. A brilliant, complex and meticulous analysis of the whole range of phenomena surrounding giving, givenness, and the gift, culminating in the saturated phenomenon as the 'given par excellence,' Being Given, which was ten years in the making, will be the standard work in this field for an entire generation. Kosky's translation is superb. Altogether, a major publishing event."—John D. Caputo, Villanova University

"Audacious and rigorous, Being Given is a signal contribution to modern thought. For Marion, phenomenology is concerned not with objects or even being but with givenness. Having clarified what phenomenology does, Marion brilliantly shows how it exceeds metaphysics and how it requires us to rethink the human subject in the most radical manner. At no time are we asked to call on revelation, yet every page of this luminous book has rich and inescapable implications for theology as well as philosophy."—Kevin Hart, Monash University

"Being Given is . . . simply dazzling: it is a work of tremendous depth and highly original thought. . . . It's amazing how much Marion . . . has changed the landscape of phenomenology—or what we on this side of the Atlantic call 'continental philosophy of religion.'"—The Christian Century

..."Marion's Being Given is a major event in contemporary phenomenology, which will be a major source of debate and inspiration for contemporary philosophy and theology."—The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory

Descriere

This ambitious work engages several major philosophical genres. It responds to current discussions of the "gift," which lie on the frontier of literature, anthropology, and economics, notably in the work of Jacques Derrida, and offers a detailed critique of the basis on which those discussions have proceeded.
