内容简介：
Speaking as one of the founders of American Continental philosophy, Calvin O. Schrag offers an exceptionally clear, balanced, and informative discussion of a complex question vexing postmodern currents of philosophical and theological reflection: whether and how the "death" of the god conceived as a "highest being" in Western, and especially modern, traditions might open a new spece within which to rethink God in terms of a "gift" or a "giving" that would stand beyond the usual spate of metaphysical categories. Seeking a notion of God compatible with the postmodern perspective. Schrag's remarkably lucid and accessible work stands as a helpful guide, providing rare insight into an often impenetrable philosophical and theological enigma.
