Transcendence and Beyond poses the classical questions of transcendence                  in a postmodern setting. Do we need a transcendence that is ever more beyond or                  should we put transcendence behind us altogether? Is it the case that, when seen in                  a postmodern light, transcendence must be itself transcended? In this                  thought-provoking volume, Jean-Luc Marion, Gianni Vattimo, and a distinguished group                  of international philosophers and theologians interrogate transcendence for today's                  philosophy of religion. The essays gathered here examine notions of transcendence to                  assess its relevance and meaning in a postmodern context as well as to determine how                  it might be usefully refitted. Various subthemes, such as creation, love, religious                  language, the question of the impossible and that of becoming, emerge with a new                  definition of transcendence. Poised at the intersection of philosophy and religion,                  these reflections provide a benchmark for renewed consideration of this classic                  philosophical and religious theme.
